He peeled off tiny layers of fear and separation as I watched and ached for the toys on the Island of Misfit Toys. No lie. My heart has always been for the outcast. I haven't always leaned into that calling, but my journey landed me there once again and now...I can't not.daisymariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16335423179107661562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25799295.post-22273425126878292212007-05-31T10:40:00.000-03:002007-05-31T10:40:00.000-03:00Daisy,I know you're doing the work and know the fa...Daisy,<BR/><BR/>I know you're doing the work and know the faces and hearts of those you are working with - this means so much to me to know that I was able to encourage you today.<BR/><BR/>I have been so disturbed lately. I am beginning to know the faces in our community and the need is just so vast. I feel so small and so incompetent. And I so don't want to get jaded. I can't seem to find the balance of loving and not having your soul ripped out from under you by the desperate level of need. How do you do it?Heidi Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01769414906479026143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25799295.post-75433058012028971832007-05-31T08:18:00.000-03:002007-05-31T08:18:00.000-03:00I'm reading this for the second time--it begged to...I'm reading this for the second time--it begged to be read even yet again--with tears in my eyes.<BR/><BR/>It's been a frustrating week. One where the folks I work with have majored on lazy and acting entitled, and all the ugly just seems to be bubbling to the top. Normally, I handle it ok, but this week I'm hormonally challenged and we're completely moving an entire work program from one side of town to the other.<BR/><BR/>I'm working to love, praying to love, but quite honestly feel I've gone to a dry well.<BR/><BR/>And I tell you this why? Because in the telling I've turned my prayers around and feel more peace than I have all week<BR/><BR/>...and what you wrote here helped to make that happen...Thank you.daisymariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16335423179107661562noreply@blogger.com
