Why Care?

People around this world (some around you in your community) are suffering some have dirty water, some are starving, some have no shelter does this matter? Brenna and I set out on this journey God called us on to love just as Jesus did. Struggle is our daily existence now, we do it with joy in our hearts. We live in community with our neighbors and give things that can never be paid back. We share meals with those who cannot share a meal with us, they have no food. We are constantly on the go! giving rides, hearing struggles, talking with neighbors, and loving all with no strings attached. The only model we know to follow is Jesus', I see people looking all the time for things to make a bigger impact bring in more folks, save them and it will all be good. People are not looking to be saved anymore! They want to be loved and to have value. Jesus showed everyone they had value even the poor, tax collectors, sinners and those sitting out front of liquor stores waiting to score that next beer! Yea they didn't have liquor stores back then but they had fountains! His message of come to the father through me was spoken without words. I have been in a funk as of late and about ready to give up and go back to working full time. I don't know if this is what God wants for us but times are tough and my heart hurts so much for those around us! I'm just one guy and I'm not independently wealthy (Both things I knew when we started this journey). Today I thought hey I will clean my shed up and while doing it all these feelings and emotions overloaded me. I'm gonna focus this year putting my thoughts on paper. Brenna and I were talking and I told her my concerns and that I'm ready to just go back to work we can feed our friends share our lives still just on a lot smaller time frame. Then my friend Lloyd calls me he sounds terrible he has a bad cold and is out of firewood. We went around empty lots around town and got a whole truck load of wood. It's weird how God sends his messages knowing just what we need! for me it is to help someone in need. He sometimes sends his angels to help out in ways we least expect it. I am truly thankful to be on this journey and am blessed with a great group of family and friends. I'm ready to work to make a difference in 2015 and continue to love my neighbor as myself!
