I seem to be addicted to the news lately. I keep thinking that the the whole world is in a panic about the future... and it feels very strange! The future feels different to me. In my 47 years, I don't think I ever imagined that things could change so quickly in our country to the point that my kids won't have the same opportunities that I had or that it is just such a different world.
I have been praying for our country for a long time, feeling that something is just wrong in America. If ever there has been a time that love is growing cold, it is now. Of course with all these feelings, I also feel that things are clearer to me than they have ever been. I really think that happened after Hurricane Ike. A feeling that the unimportant and divided feelings were just washed away.
Why do I write I all this? I don't know exactly except to say I am moving forward with a single minded focus. No matter what happens in the future, I am praying that God's kingdom comes, expands and pushes forward in this strange place. I pray that it starts in me. What is God's kingdom and how do I know if it is expanding?
I once read in the bible that God's kingdom is: righteousness, joy and peace.
I will know it when my heart begins to swell with love.
