Stirring

We are home from our trip to Florida. It was so nice to get away and enjoy each other! We slept in, watched movies, played outside, ate, went site seeing and basically just relaxed with no agenda. What a blessing it was for us to get a break from our very busy life. I was able to finish a book called The Same Kind of Different as Me by Ron Hall and Denver Moore.  It was an incredible true story that I can't stop thinking about.  My heart is being tugged and pulled to make some changes about how I think and act.  I want my life to be what God meant for it to be.  God is definitely getting my attention and how I can make a difference.  I'm feeling called to help the poor, especially children.  I have soooo much and I need to use it to reach those in need.  I need to stop thinking about the next thing I can buy or do that will entertain me and think about how can I use this money, that God gives me, to help those who have nothing.  Why is it that those who have nothing are willing to give the most.  Why do I think twice about giving my time and money away when in reality I won't go without.  I never go without, EVER.  I eat what I want when I want, I go where I want and do what I want.  I am rich beyond imagination.  When I turn on the television it caters to my rich life style, tempting me to want more, buy more and convince me that I deserve more.  REALLY???  I have been so blind, so ignorant to why God has blessed me with wealth.  This has to change!  I want and need to change.  I need God to forgive my selfishness, my sickness that "it is all about me".  I am excited to see what comes next.
There is a stirring within my soul that will no longer be satisfied with what this world offers.  I am aware now, my eyes are open, my heart is aching for others.  I want to love, I long to love others where they are, no questions just love, love, love.  Please continue to stir my heart and soul!
