Knowing God vs knowing God's plan

I've been posting a lot of videos lately trying to get people to understand the crisis that we have in our own country and around the world. Of the billions of people on the planet do we even know how many of them are hungry, how many of them are homeless, how many of them need medical attention?
yes we do!
In 2013 The CDC estimated that over 2 BILLION people worldwide have inadequate or nonexistent health care 842million of the world's population is hungry, and 786 million people are considered homeless in the world. 10.2 million in the United States aloneare homeless, which is out numbered by vacant homes by a multiple of 5.
these numbers are staggering and unacceptable.
Do we know what God has planned?
 I can't pretend to know why our planet is in such disarray, and misery.it is only when we stop wondering why and start working together that these problems become smaller and eventually go away. We must stop asking what God has planned. We have to stop wondering why God allows things to happen.

The point here is, when we stop searching for answers from God concerning his plan for our lives and start walking forward in faith knowing that we should do the right thing out of love all the time, his plan slowly becomes reality.

Is it so hard to imagine a world with no poverty, hunger or sickness?
when we all walk forward, doing the best we can to help everyone we can in the name of our Father in Heaven, anything becomes possible.
the most important thing to remember is that it starts with us individually with the people that we see when we look to the left and to the right of us. Change starts with us. God bless you all and have a great day

Happy Days?

I hope everyone is having a blessed and happy Friday.  I say I hope everyone is having a blessed and happy Friday... I know for a fact however that not everyone is very happy today. We live in Spartanburg County, a county with just over 300,000 people and a median income of $37,000 per capita income of $18,000.

12% of the population of Spartanburg County lives under the poverty line. in case you do poorly in math that is 36,000 people... 36,000 people!

of those 36,000 people, Spartanburg County Department of Health and Environmental Control estimates that 62% are hungry.

in case you still don't get it, 22,000 people in Spartanburg County are hungry right now while we eat our fast food our steaks and our lobster while we go to work with our lunch bags there are lots of people that are starving.

I am in touch with over 3,000 people on social networking applications. if each of those people were to give $1 to from God's hands inc, can you imagine the work we could do? We could function if everyone gave only 10 cents because every penny donated to this organization buys food for those 22,000 hungry people.

I live by the philosophy that if I can help someone I will. I also believe that if we are able to help anyone, then we are morally obligated to do it. There is no excuse for a community of people that have plenty of change to spare to deny someone food.

you may disagree with my tactics and you may not like what I'm saying right now but shame on us...if you switched to one generic named food at the grocery store and donated the change that you saved from that generic product you could do a world of good for a family in your own community. That's all I have to say today god bless you all and I hope your tummies are full
