it scares me to think how easy it is to block out everything that's going on in the world, and just put it into the "too hard basket". it scares me because i know i do that all the time. that it does seem too big for me to make a difference. stories from all over the world that speak of hopelessly tragic situations, cycles that can't be broken, lives that are futile existences. but most of it is because of inaction, or inappropriate action. but it's still all too big. i know we have a big God who hears our prayers, and that praying is powerful. but so is God-inspired action. have to slow, wait and listen for that small voice that is telling us what to do. but how often to i give myself the "luxury" of the 'slow, wait and listen'. barely enough, if enough.
