Sometimes I get really
bogged down & captured
under the weight of everything that has
gone wrong.
Our world, our relationships, our cities...they aren't supposed to be like this.
I sit in class and learn about the terrible conditions
children around the world are forced to deal with daily.
Child Soldiers
Parental abuse
Sex Trafficking.
"The younger, the better."
I sit in my room and research foster care and family crisis.
Big words that just mean broken lives.
I memorize statistics and know how many children live in a shelter.
Big numbers that equal a lot of need.
And it's so easy to be emotional--sad or angry.
But it's not enough.
It's when I get a text from my boyfriend that says,
"God is doing big things here.
We just helped feed 90 kids when a snow day happens"
that I remember all the ministries and missions
who are hoping to heal hurt.
And it just so happens that someone I care about is there,
Working paid and unpaid hours in order to do something.
Thank you.
Knowing makes it easier that you're not here.
I still know that this is not how its supposed to be,
but I also need to remember that there's hope now,
and there's hope in the future.
When there will be no more tears.
