My favorite part of the week is to get on Postsecret.com every Sunday to check the website and see the new postcards they have up. I have decided to post my favorite ones up on my blog, I am thinking about doing this weekly, so let me know what you think.
“I am afraid to admit what I want for my life because I know I will never get it.” Above
I am having a hard time figuring out my feeling about this postsecret. I know that I have been in the exact same place and I think about how hopeless that can be. Most of all when I look at this I think of all the people in the world for who it is better not to dream at all. It reminds me of the quote from Step Up “Where I’m From it’s better to not what anything. That way your not disappointed when it doesn’t come true.”
“I will be (T)wenty in March and I really feel like I am running out of time.” Left
Life is so short. Live every moment. How often do I sit back and let my life pass me by. It’s so easy to sit back and live complacently but then when we look back we see nothing.
“Even though I know my way around this town sometimes I get so lonely that I ask strangers for directions just to talk to someone.” Left
Loneliness is the disease of the the American culture. America is “a and of lepers, a land of people who had forgotten how to feel, to laugh, to cry a land haunted by numbness. Could we learn to feel again?” Shane Clayborne, Irresistible Revolution. He also says, “I feel sorry that many of us have settled for a lonely world of independence and riches we could experience the fullness of life in community and interdependence.”
There are so many lonely people all around us. We pass them every day, work with them, maybe they are our family and friends that we hang out with every day. My heart breaks for the lonely and hopeless. My heart breaks for the lonely and the hopeless. We need to be God’s love to these people, I need to be God’s love to these people.

How do we know who they are? How do we reach out to them without looking like we are trying to invade and control there life? We need a way and place for people in this situation. How are we to help?
I know that sometimes its difficult and there are days where we either feel or want to feel insignificant. Some days we just want to hide or curl up into a dark corner, not to be seen by anyone. Em, I see the Lord doing a great work in your heart. He is breaking your heart for his people. Also, I want you to know that since I have truly started to follow Christ; I have been more hurt, more exhausted, more lonely, more emotional, and poorer than I have ever been, but it always has and always will be worth it. In those moments of turmoil and disappointment I see a desperate reminder that I need a savior and I need to cry out to him.
When you sponsor a child it not only provides a hot meal, clean water, discipleship, and basic medical care for the child, it also supports their family by inviting them through the gates of the CarePoint to receive training, discipleship and mentorship.
