I love the opportunity to work with young people and to watch their faith grow as the they struggle with questions of what it means to live this life.
A major reason why I signed up for Sea to Sea is that I wanted an actionable outlet for my faith; a tangible demonstration of what I believe. Talking about this in class I showed my Sea to Sea page and kids were interested and asked questions. We discussed micro finance and how $130 loan can leverage someone out of poverty, an amount that we spend on fancy shoes.
One student was walking out the door and he turned around. He pulled out his wallet and gave me a ten dollar bill.
"Here, I want you to put this towards fighting poverty. If micro loans can change peoples lives, than here is a part of that".
Wow!
If God is pulling at your heart, if he is revealing ways for you to move, do it. As we enter lent I challenge you to reflect on what the vision is that God is revealing to you. Then do it!
"Be Thou My Vision......" Click that link and meditate with it. I like this version of the song--painfully slow, but it allows me to meditate on that vision.
I also invite you to pray the prayer of the previous post again today.
