Lord, break my heart.


Well tomorrow is the Nehemiah Project. I am excited to do the concert in the park for the foster  children. Tonight we gathered at High Desert Church to pray for the different projects and discuss what we will be doing tomorrow. Pastor Paul said something that fell heavy on my heart. He said he hopes we do these projects from our hearts and because we care, not just for a pat on the back or to say we gave up a Saturday to do something good. It really made me think. 

When I go to the park tomorrow, I hope my heart breaks. I hope I look into those children's eyes and see pure joy. I hope their lives will be changed. I hope their little hearts will understand how much they are loved. I hope I am reminded of how blessed I am. I hope everything I do in this life will not give me the glory, but will give God the glory. We have become so accustomed to the ME society, that it is hard not to do things out of selfish motive.  I want to truly give, every time I give. I want to truly love, every time I love. I want to truly listen, every time I listen. And I want to truly serve God, every time I serve. Thank you Jesus for humbling me even when I don't think I need it. Help us to serve our community whole heartedly and with a love that comes only from you.

Mindy, sometimes I cannot always put into words what I am thinking or how I am feeling, but I know that God knows. When I read your blogs, it is like God is telling me that I am not alone because you are my best friend and I see that you are struggling with some of the same things that I am. I know there is a reason that we live 2000 miles from each other and I wish we found more time to communicate with each other, but maybe through this blog, I'll find a way to open my heart even more to you, to God, and even to me. I love you friend and thank you for being there for me even if you didn't even realize it. Because God did. He has truly blessed us by making us friends.
