Hotel Rwanda
I just finished watching Hotel Rwanda. I watched it for the first time over a year ago. I remember watching the buses of foreigners leaving the hotel to go to safety and promising myself that I would not be one of those people - I will not use my privilege to protect myself while others suffer. I don't know if I will have the courage to follow through on that promise, but I pray that God will strengthen me.If I could trace the reason why I am leaving tomorrow morning, it would go back to a single line in that movie. This one line cut to my heart and made me sob with it's truth. A reporter after hearing of a man's confidence that the world would respond and help them after seeing people being massacred replied that the response people would have after seeing the atrocities would be this: "They will look at their televisions and say, 'Oh my God, that is terrible!' Then they will finish their dinner."
I must try my best to react. I must try my best not to turn away from suffering and console myself with excuses of how I can do nothing. Maybe all I can do is love... but I will do that as long as God grants me grace and strength to do it.

Hey Steve! Those two parts of Hotel Rwanda were the same for me...the most memorable and moving.
Have a fantastic time in Ecuador and God bless! Farewell and much love,
Faith
Hey Steve,
We LOVE you man! Kevin said he had a great time with you last weekend and I was sad I didn't have a chance to say goodbye. Know you are loved and are being prayed for! Keep in touch!
