hug them and make it all go away.

"May my heart be broken by the things that break the heart of God."

This was said by Robert Pierce, the founder of World Vision. Ever since i heard this quote last year, it has kind of become my life prayer. i thought it might be nice to care people.

the funny thing is that when you make something your life prayer, very often it eventually comes true. lately, this has come true. and my heart has been broken.

i have so many hurting friends. and recently, i have been impacted by them more than i usually am. when i see them crying, i want to cry. when i know that they are in pain, my stomach just knots up. all i want is to hug them and make it all go away.

im not saying this to be like, "look at me, i care about people." Because the thing is, it is so hard. i feel like my heart is re-broken every day. i think its because the thing that is making people hurt the most lately, is relationships. and for any of you who know me even a little bit, you know that relationships really... i dunno, fascinate me? relationships of every kind, whether romantic or platonic, i find to be the most interesting thing about a person. i have an interesting philosophy of relationships. at least i will once i formulate it. im still trying to formulate my theolgy of relationships. but thats a whole 'nother blog, a whole 'nother time.

this blog is ridiculous. pretty much, these are just the random thoughts that i have been mulling over for a few weeks. once i have a little more time on my hands (so basically, when i retire) i promise i will be posting something lengthy and profound.

woot.
