ramblings

Today in the midst of looking for resources to help my students struggling with family i got distracted on the TWLOHA website, which quickly led me to their videos on youtube. Watching Renee talk about her story, the people that took her in and loved her for 5 days, those 5 days made a life changing impact on her life. Someone was willing to stop what they were doing to love her, really truly love her. No strings attached. It made me think of our kids at the YC, their stories of being addicted to heroine and prostituting herself out to have money to buy her drug. Another one whos arms are covered in scars because she cuts herself to run from the pain of abandonment and rejection. These kids are desperate for Love. Pure, Beautiful, Genuine, Extravagant LOVE....
I want to see them suceed. Who are we? what are we doing to go out of our way to see others taken care of and loved? not out of guilt or duty but because we want to love others as Jesus has loved us...... ahhh His love is so great... sooo soo great. i want to go scream it from the mountain tops. want to jump up and down because He's so extravagant and beautiful. These kids are a part of his heartbeat. are His dreams, are whao He sees at the battle line for our generation. He's created each one for a purpose, we're there to help them, to be His love in physical form...
