The Theater

right now i feel like i'm at a theater
and my life is the play
and the audience is people in my life
and i'm standing backstage watching it happen
but it's exciting
like watching what God is doing and being willing to just 'go with His flow'
i'm not scared or stressed or anything
it's different from anything i've ever experienced
i just trust Him


Do you ever feel like a fake? Like you care about the poor and world peace but you don't do anything…like what can I do? I'm only one person…but you want to help out, you want to help change the world, even just a little bit. But again, the niggling…'what good can I do'?

My heart breaks, for the homeless (my it's cold tonight), for the poor, for the sick, for those without Jesus. For those who don't have God...His heart is breaking too.

God, while I sit here and wait for you to say 'go', please show me something I can do locally. Something you can smile upon. I know you are directing our paths, the future might only be 3-4 months away, but I want to start serving you NOW. Help me to do that at work, even more than I already do. Help me to not take things for granted.

So maybe for now I pray?
