« I’ve noticed something about people who make a difference in the world: They hold the unshakable conviction that individuals are extremely important, that every life matters. They get excited over one smile. They are willing to feed one stomach, educate one mind, and treat one wound. They aren’t determined to revolutionize the world all at once; they’re satisfied with small changes. Over time, though, the small changes add up. Sometimes they even transform cities and nations, and yes, the world. »

The thoughts that keep me awake at night.
You know when people tell you something about yourself that you just don’t see? Or when six or seven people tell you something about yourself that you just don’t see? And you sit there and you think why? Why do you think that? If you could only see into my heart and my utmost thoughts then you probably would not think that. Then you think why do I get so mad when other people do not see what I see in them and I am basically doing the same thing! And it is like this constant going back and forth in my mind of what I want people to see, what I don’t believe they see, and what I want them to see in themselves. Why am I not just worried about what God sees? Where is the balance? Also the fact that I am constantly worrying about other people and not depending on God. Does that mean I have no faith that God is bigger than my problems. Of course this was the topic at church on Sunday which made me think even harder. “Problems get bigger and my God gets smaller, practical atheism” Oy vey. Man I am tired.
