What I'm waiting for
I'm waiting to get back my heart for the poor. The kind that used to make me want to go serve hot food at 5am in the cold. The kind that used to leap into action after talking about it. I don't know where I lost it and I can't bear to think about what I've replaced it with. Please God, I want it back.
This is my first post. My first real post. It's intimidating.

Amen brother.
Me too.
And what a good first post it was- keep it up!
Justin,
Good thoughts. I've felt that myself at times lately. So... what can we do? =)

:) thanx Zollner! the fact that i helped make your day, makes mine.
Justin,
Thanks for your brutifully honest post. We all know there is no magic solution to 'just dealing' with the things we struggle with. Maybe you could do a self-inventory and find out where you're most strapped and stressed (time or $$$ for instance) and then give some of that to the poor. It's completely illogical, which makes it fun and dangerous; just think of it as an 'extreme giving sport'.
Of course, that is so much easier for me to say than to do. I too really struggle in this area; I give into my pet selfishness soooooo often.
It is good to wait. It is good to struggle. Don't be intimidated. See you tonight or sometime very soon.
Love,
Sean
thanx for the reply and thoughts sean. i like the "extreme giving sport" you mentioned. for me time is the big one. when I was working as a mouse in a cubicle i used to think of all these great ideas about what i could do. sadly i didn't write them down and don't remember many, but the main thing is that back then more of that was coming to me.
you know whats even better than waiting? waiting with others. thanx for caring about what i'm waiting for.
great seeing you tonight too!
justin
