Hello, friends.
I have a few sayings that I live my life by. For example...
Everything is an experiment.
Every day is a new adventure.
People matter more than numbers.
Recently, the one that's on my mind the most is this:
No one person can save the whole world.
I am just one person. No matter how hard I try, I cannot save the whole world. I can't solve the refugee crisis or abolish abortion or fix our public schools or end hunger - on my own, I can't do anything.
Two things remind me that I can do something.
1) No one person can save the whole world... and that's okay. I'm not meant to save the whole world. I am meant to be a positive force in my circle of influence. I can't save the whole world, but I can be there for my foster daughter, for the young people at church, for my family, for my friends. I can't save the whole world - but I can do good in my own little corner of it.
2) No one person can save the whole world... but one did. Jesus saved the whole world. I don't have to, because it's already been done. Jesus now walks beside me, leading me into the places where I can do some good for the world.
One person saved the whole world. Now, it's our turn. Let's see what we can do, one person at a time.
