God at Work

This Sunday was a "God at Work" Sunday at our church. Our pastor Vincent interviewed a priest, Father Bob who began and who is now working full time for The Center
which is an organization that works with people who are infected with the HIV virus or who have AIDS. It wasn't so much his work with these unfortunate people who are struggling with addictions, but his philosophy of seeing God in each person. Even in those that we have a hard time even liking, but to move beyond that and love them because they are deserving of love. Just as deserving as I am.

It seems to be a recurring theme to me lately. The caring for one person, helping one. How the world would be a better place is each one of us went the extra mile for just one! Why is it that we seem to get so wrapped up in our own daily lives, that we are blinded to the poverty and suffering of those who live only a couple of miles away.

I have a feeling that God will use me, I believe that he wants to use me even now. It is hard for me to release control. I mean I feel overwhelmed now, with my school, the girls school and our commitments to church (and we aren't overly committed there). I know that I should open my hand and in doing that the blessing that I would receive would be phenomenal.
