Been listening to some very melancholy music by Michael Jackson this evening and weeping.
Earth Song
Man In The Mirror

Heal The World
Wishing there was more I could do to heal the world. I'm sad. Thinking back a few weeks/months and reflecting as I type....the suffering I am aware of in the world even as I read, What Does God Expect Of Us? The Hole in Our Gospel and how reading that book affected me greatly. And how little I can do to change anything.
I don't have practical solutions to the world's problems or the suffering that takes place every day. But I do desire to be actively involved in doing something to alleviate it. As an encourager, I suppose I'm feeling very inadequate to accomplish anything to help... and my heart is aching over that.
Our world is hurting. We are broken individuals. I, am broken. You, are broken. God is the only Solution that can truly transform anything or anyone. Without Him, we are absolutely helpless to make a difference. God help us! Help me! Help me not to be indifferent or selfish or to turn a blind eye to suffering....but Lord, please help me to know my limitations as well as my potential and help me to "do", not just "feel". Feeling doesn't help. Doing does.

My sweet escape to explore, discover and reveal my past, present and future.

About Me
- atti2dchic
- I'm a Christian who questions many of the commonly held beliefs of evangelical Christianity. I don't claim to know it all nor do I expect I ever will. But in a few areas, I have found answers that satisfy my desire to understand. And I continue to hunger and thirst for Him. To know Him and to worship Him in spirit and in truth.
