Impatience

Impatience

I met a very impatient woman tonight. A woman who's impatience has driven her from logical thinking, Who's impatience has driven her from ideal circumstance, from comfort, and into a spiritual dynamic few have known. I'm not talking about the woman waiting at a red light. I'm not talking about a woman waiting for her nails to dry. I'm not talking about a woman who picked the wrong check out line.

I'm talking about Marie Ens.

After you hear no, not now, just wait, long enough.

After you have seen to many kids sold into prostitution.

After you have seen to many kids sent back to abusive fathers, and incognizant mothers.

After you have seen AIDS rip apart a society.

After you have seen enough of despair.

You leave the comfort of your income.

You leave the comfort of retirement.

And follow you heart.

Follow it to the most unlikely places.

Where the rejected, unwanted, unlucky, deemed evil, become a conduit for blessing.

You leave all normalcy behind, and charge ahead with a fire in your belly that will not be quenched, for the planted passion that will not die, that will not go away. It nags at your heart, it pulls at the strings of your creativity, it stresses your familial relationships, it begs from your friends, it inspires, it is unquenchable - because THIS fire was never meant to be quenched.

But while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.

for them.

for every hurting child, for every divorced man. for every abused woman, for every child who has ever had a cigaret butt snuffed out on their skin, for every abandoned child, AIDS riddled mother, for every man locked into the addictive cycle of sexual sin.

for them.

But while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.

What if normalcy was not what you were called to? What if you have more potential than you could ever dream?

This is what the impatient women I met today stands for.

For true change.

Are you patient?

Maybe - for some reasons, you should give up your patience, and chase the unreal world of God's rich blessing. A blessing the world is dying to hear.
