Sometimes it is so hard to see the big picture. Yesterday, listening to da Sermon by da Pastor, something hit me. He said something in the lines of being poor or rich is just a meaningless stage of a Christian's life.
Why do we fail to see that? Why do we so easily forget Da BIG PICTURE! I know that I do. Yeah... Da BIG PICTURE is presented in a book that I haven't seriously read in a long time. I told Andy last week that I haven't shared da gospel with anyone in a long time. It was a passion of mine. But I am beginning to fail to see da big pikcha! Yesterday I was at starbucks waiting for Dave Lim to call me to pick him up from his trip to da east coast. I was waiting in line and an older black man was talking with an employee as he was ordering. He was presenting Da Gospel. He wasn't refined, nor was he simple. He was smooth in that old school way that I know only a black man who has experienced much in his life can be. The young man that was taking his order was all ears and they gave each other a handshake after the employee thanked him. I was so moved to see a man doing something that I haven't done for so long. Something that we are all called to do. Right now, I am more concerned about getting a job than anything.
I do have faith that God is gonna place me where I need to be. I have been proactive about it too. But I feel as if I am replacing da gospel with a job hunt. I know that I have to have a job and be reponsible. But I can't help to feel as if I am looking at the world through a tiny little window. But seeing that happen last night I was little more motivated.
What can I say... I need His help.
God help this sinner they call Da Fevah.....
