So humbled.

I was so moved by this. I was on yahoo and this story came up on the little news feed thing. This 9 year old girl had requested that for her 9th birthday, everyone donate to "Charity Water" instead of give her a gift. Charity water works to provide clean water for developing countries. Her birthday was June 12, and she had only raised $220 so they shut the site down. Last week this little beauty was tragically killed in a car accident that involved 13 cars. Her preacher opened the site back up, and last I checked it was up to $460,000. It is bitter sweet. Such hope in the middle of such a sad situation. This little angel has done so much good with her short life. To me, it's so amazing to see complete strangers to this family rally together for them and offer their love and support in the form of donations to Rachel's cause. It gave me a boost of faith in humanity and made me so proud and thankful to live in a world where people like Rachel are around.

Anyway, just wanted to share. She is such a reminder of God's love.
