Eye Openers.

I spend the better part of the last 3 hours or so in the bookstore. I was reading a book about a college guy and his friend who took 5 months leave from college/work/family..to live homeless. They wanted to see if they could truly be content whatever the circumstances and share Christ with the homeless while living with them rateer than at a distance. It's a funny thing i found that book considering how i was praying on the way there asking God to show me what he wants me to be doing right now. not in the future, just what he is asking of me right now. Interesting. I have always had a heart for homeless ever since at the young age of 10 or so i told my mom i wanted to live with them so that i could love them. I'm not saying i am being called to live homeless for 5 months, although i shouldn't exclude that possibiltiy. But God is opening my eyes to the needs of others after way too long of self-focus. It is time to start meeting the needs of others insteasd of complaining of my plenty.
