Righteous Complaining...

Have you ever been so completely overwhelmed by this world??
God calls us to "feed his children"....But there are so many.
God calls us to "make disciples of all nations"...I don't even know where to begin.
"Care for the orphans and the widow"...How do I get started?
So as I sit here in the laundry room ( My favorite place to do homework now)  feeling completely and totally confused.
          Where do I begin??
           How do I start?
          When will it be my chance to make a difference in the lives of those who so desperately Christ?
In chapel the other day one of the graduating seniors said
            "How do we begin to stay...in a place where we are being trained to go?" 
God is calling me to stay where I am at..so that he may prepare me to Go -->
 I need to be patient, I know. But I've come to the realization lately that I'm not a very patient person. I want to follow Christ with all that I am...but he seems to make me wait a lot. And although, I know his timing is perfect, I just don't like to wait. I have always hated the word later and that's because I hate to wait.


Sometimes  All the time I want Christ to come back. I Hate this world we live in. I hate the fact that there are starving children in Africa, China, India, South America, EVERYWHERE...even here in The United States. People are dying ever day because they have nothing to eat, and not only are people dying, but they are dying without ever knowing their savior. People are out there crying and in desperate need of someone to love them. Little girls are out there cry because there daddies have left them...little do they know that their heavenly father wants to wipe away ever tear from their eye. The sick are dying because no one cares. People are out there watching the world drive by. How can I be so selfish! I sit there in my car while I pass yet another man, with a sign asking for help. MY HELP!
 My heart longs to love on these people. My heart longs to hold the little girl who is crying and tell her about my heavenly daddy. My heart longs to feed the starving children of this world. I want to love on all the orphans of this world. I want to play with the little boys in Africa that think no one cares. I want to give jackets to the people that are cold. I want to make meals for the sick. There is so much that I want to do. But right now....I have to stay.
I'm not sure why yet...but you better believe, I'm going to find out. I'll be waiting for the day when God gives me the go --> signal. So just wait and see... God is preparing the way and I'm going to be ready. Watch me.
So, this is a ton of complaining... Righteous complaining!
Which reminds me you should go listen to this by Shane Wood. It's Amazing! :)
After you listen to this...it really explains a lot. lol :) so happy listening.
