This feeling of doing a meaningful thing, even if its only some little thing... It fills my whole self with this desire to do something big, something great, something important. I'm sitting here thinking. grabbing the pen. putting it down. writing down a word. no, no, that's not right. -Sigh-. 5 minutes later...two sentences. How do you put down into words something so complicated. So important. Yet so simple, and basic? It seems it happens every time I put pen to paper. This time it's to the Senator, to the Governor, to really important people, who know a lot more than me. But when I finally get down what I want to say, however flawed it may be, I feel glad. I did something! Suddenly wanting to watch that movie seems silly. Not taking time to learn about such and such is wasting time...there's so much to do and learn! Everyday I pray and hope that God will work in me, and use me, and yet, even though it's all in His hands- I have to be willing. To do the unknown. Do hard things. (So here I'm rambling on when I meant to write a quick update...so much for that! ) those are some of the things I've been thinking of lately. And you?
Thanking God for all his blessings!
Love to all my friends,
Madi
(P.s. check out the Family Policy Institute website to let the Sentor know what you think!)
Madi,
ReplyDeleteI know EXACTLY how that feels! I don't like writing letters - it is SO hard! But I'm glad you got out what you wanted to say.
Blessings to you!
