With the barrage of events happening of late, it's no wonder people are breaking under this tension.
I've not reached a point of desperation or want to give up and throw the towel. But I have to say that it's really no joke, and totally no fun at all. Making things easy, fun, & meaningful ain't no easy feat at all.
Seeing each of you so stressed, I really wish I could take it all on myself. No, I'm not trying to be a superhero or talking big fancy words. I mean it, absolutely mean every word with all my heart. That's exactly what I have been doing. I really can just take everything and do it, if I could. And I'm not complaining.
Someone shared that it must be from God if something is to last and sustain for such an extended period of time. Well, I think my love for certain special people is from God. My devotion to my work, which comes from the passion I have, must come from God too. Else how can I last?
You know who you are. This entry goes out to you as an encouragement. Although I don't seem to care, but I am truly concerned, very very, because you all matter to me. This is a challenge that we will march through hand in hand. What carries me forward, is knowing that I am working with like-minded individuals, who will sweat shoulder to shoulder, for a common purpose, to answer the cries of innocent children, whose pain is caused by the work of our own sinful hands.
If we put our problems into perspective, they will seem so meager compared to those whom we serve, who die within seconds, who fight to make ends meet, who give up their lives so their siblings, children, parents, family, can survive. Who am I to say that I want to give up? What am I giving up? What is my cost compared to theirs?
I am committed to stay and stick on for 2 years, at least. Because I believe there is a solution, I want to work it through and trudge on until we get somewhere. That every thing I do, reaches out to a child, and impacts their life, in one way or another. Everything I face, I hear the heartbeat of Jesus, and His cry for the children whose innocence is robbed, and I am compelled to go on going on, because of His love for me, and for them.
If you ever wanna talk, let me know, cuz I will make time to listen and hear you out. No matter what happens, keep crying out to God for strength, wisdom, and His mercy to sustain you. Loving each of you very deeply, that I believe this is a supernatural love He has placed upon me, to see this through. An anguish for the innocent, and for each of you who are carrying such heavy hearts. I cried for all of you as I walked back, and I told God, "If You give me this burden to care for them, then You must give me wisdom to say the right words and do the right things at the right time."
Peace to all. Let's continue running this race together, for our reward can only be attained in heaven. But look not to the reward, because the joys of today and His love is our strength. May their smiles be sufficient reason for us, and the grace and mercy of God see us through.
