“Do you realize that if you make $4000 a month, you automatically make one hundred times the average person on this planet?
Which is more messed up—that we have so much compared to everyone else, or that we don’t think we are rich? That on any given day we might flippantly call ourselves “broke” or “poor”? We are neither of those things. We are rich.”
The above was written as an update on my blog, posted today 08/03/10 – last night I wrote a rather down beat entry, frustrated with God, confused, tired tonight I have been reviewing Crazy Love, learning about Francis Chan and how he lives (e.g. gives 90% of his income away, radical, laid back) and things seem to be clearer than they were.
What if I am being called to Crazy Love – certainly I edge to the side of caution in life, more so in latter years….what if this project God wants me (with others) to start, what if meeting with Diarmuid [guy in church CEO of street childrens Charity] is about Crazy love – something radical. What if my prayers for faith, Gods will to be clear, break through with Burnley [the rental] are all part of 1 plan, 1 lesson God has for me? What is my commitment to seeing Good as the enemy f the great as a purpose in my life is also thrown in there in order to get it done and done in style, what if my desire’s for recognition, for acknowledgement are all none sense and God wants something started that is about Him, about something that would be undeniably about God and about something Crazy…I have no idea what that might be.
Time to pray, learn and seek.
