some times i just want to SCREAM!
for the past week or so i have been dealing with a lot! work sucks, stressed out, bills are due, money is low, gas sucks, and my family and the people at work seem to not understand what i do. you see, ken and i go mondays to The Garden (homeless shelter for women and children) which is a part of 7 bridges to recovery… wednesdays we go under the bridges of atlanta and feed and pray for the homeless. this is a VERY IMPORTANT part of my life! i love loving God by loving others. so many people think that i just do it to feel good about myself or to have something to do.. thats not it at all!! i do it because that is what we as Christ followers are SUPPOSED TO DO!! LOVE OTHERS! it makes me so angry and so hurt when people tell me that ill realize that somethings are just not as important as i think they are… that this is an important time in my life and i need to be doing other things like going to school again or working a better job… UMM NO! this IS what i should be doing.. and will be what i continue to do! i have really never been so hurt by other people before… this has bothered the junk out of me! i go under the bridges today and cant wait! maybe one day all of the people who have told me what i do is not important will realize what really IS IMPORTANT! that the prayer i have for them.
please pray for me.. this is all very hard on me.
thank you.

“this has bothered the junk out of me!” . . . so love this statement and it bothers the JUNK out of me too. I know how you feel and can relate. You have stated the TRUTH of God’s word very well and the TRUTH is “Loving God and Loving Others” is what counts. The things we gather in this world will amount to nothing when compared to the GREATNESS of His GLORY when we are in His presence in Heaven. Keep pushing forward - I am so proud of you!
