But Whaaaa? The st...Thank you for your post, Angel! But Whaaaa? The stories I've been hearing for the last seven years in Second Mile bring tears to my eyes! Stories that astound me, inspire me, change the way I think about things...But maybe, as you've alluded to in your post, the key word in that sentence is seven years. I empathize with the intimacy addict because I have been that person, but I heartily agree that those deep, moving, community mess interactions cannot be forced, moved, or drawn out of people. It reminds me of the Bonhoeffer quote: if we love community, we will unwittingly destroy it. But if we love people - the long, hard, patient road of love - we will create it. I hope this comment doesn't sound defensive, because I don't want to insult the people who feel this way about our community. But I sincerely hope they stick around long enough to really listen, serve, and know the people they have felt disconnected from. My prayers for them! christy.annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05965955131723001178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767297878140786887.post-69030110541115545232014-06-30T01:47:47.665-07:002014-06-30T01:47:47.665-07:00Ooh I really like this post.

They do just about everything the opposite of what I would do. I try to think about their culture, and what their country is like, and that creates a little bit of empathy in me. But it's still not that much. Sometimes I pray for them... Joshua Project makes an app that tells me to pray for a people group every day. It's a neat app, and ironically, nearly every day there is a people group from this country :P Alisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11991958136278799344noreply@blogger.com
