I recently ordered a book called: Red Letters, Living a Faith that Bleeds. It is a GREAT book. Just sayin'. I recently finished a book called: The New Friars. It too was a GREAT read.
Today I got a new pair of shoes. They are cute. They are TOMS... and when I bought them a child in South Africa got their first pair of shoes, paid for by my purchase, similar to mine... not just a pair of shoes handed to them, but someone will actually GO to South Africa and put the pair of shoes ON their feet. TOMS doesn't just want to GIVE shoes away, they want to PUT THEM ON those who will receive them and love on them.
Do you ever think that life is changing and the way you think and feel about life is changing... and as much as you feel powerless to stop it you keep feeding the fire because it just feels RIGHT and GOOD?
That's how I am feeling these days. My life is all crazy and messed up and sometimes I just want to sit and cry in a corner somewhere... but then I remember that MY life, with GOD'S HELP can make a difference... and if I'm sitting in a corner somewhere what kind of difference will that make?? I want to LIVE and make a DIFFERENCE and have my life be lots bigger than me. Buying a pair of shoes or reading a book isn't going to do it, but the changes in the way I think and in the ways I desire to live are a lot bigger than me...
Just sayin'
Thank you! Good night!
