Changing the World is Overwhelming. Start Where You Are, and Smile More!

We’re on the second week of the study I’m facilitating on “Half the Church,” and I’m loving the discussions we’re been having. I’ve been so blessed by the insights the women in my community have, and the stories they share.

However, this has been a crazy week for me with deadlines, workshops, and the crud taking over our house. Becuase of that, my presentation was rather scattered, and I feel like I ended the study on a negative note. (I didn’t mean to end on the teaching about the sheep and the goats–honest!!!) But, thanks to the wonders of the internet, I can share the video I meant to end with! (I’ll try to show it early next week for the folks who don’t have internet.)

So. God wants us to engage with the world and address the problems out there, but even thinking about it can be overwhelming sometimes. Here’s my friend Allison’s take on the problem. It’s ten minutes–long for a web video–but her insights are well worth it. (Addition–as per Tim’s comment, the story about how she managed to feed/rock four babies at the same time is TOTALLY worth the price of admission. Allison is my hero!)
