So much to catch up on.
It is hard taking the time to write down on my thoughts because time to do this is hard to come by. Really, you don't want to know all of my thoughts. My thoughts and emotions are all over the place these days. Daily I am trying to process everything I see, why the culture is the way it is, why I am the way I am as an American, what is the best way to reach these people for Jesus, how can I help?
I just feel like I really have nothing to bring to the table. Nothing I am really great at. But, the Lord seems to take this life that He has transformed and just lets me love on other people. That is really all I have going for me--Jesus! All I can offer Him is my life--my time, my energy and He takes it and turns it into much for His glory--a lot like the fish and loaves that fed thousands and then had 12 leftover baskets!! At the end of the day I feel like I am carrying home 12 baskets of leftover goodness! At the end of each day, usually, I am filled with SO MUCH JOY!!! Joy at the gift of being here, joy of being able to share Jesus in so many different ways that, to me seem so small, but to some here it means more than we can imagine.
Don't get me wrong, most days I am also filled with a huge amount of sadness as I see people who have no food in their homes, marriages falling apart, abuse, children who have never had a birthday celebration in their small five years of life, abandoned babies who no one seems to truly care for.
Yet, I can't help but be so hopeful and excited about the future for some of these people here and for the ministry of Project 127. Feeling really grateful to be a tiny tiny part of it all.
I have a lot to catch up on...check back soon!
