Sometimes I want to scream. At the top of my lungs. From the
rooftop.
Sometimes I feel completely helpless to fight injustice and
like nothing I do will make a difference. I want to storm Washington; I want to
single-handedly save every child; I want to convert the world. Then I feel overwhelmed.
Then I realize that’s not in my ability, or quite my calling to storm the capitol. And I see something like a reminder of a saying of Mother Theresa’s (thanks for posting, Cindy).
Sometimes I feel like a German civilian 75 years ago,
scared to speak out.

And I remember that I have a place. I have a role, I have a
specific sphere of influence. God has made very clear to me what my role in
this mess is – I’m to:
1.
Seek holiness
2.
Love my family and keep pointing them toward
heaven – especially my husband and daughter
3.
Make films that point people toward him and help
them to heal – right now, The Best Gift, You Follow Me Like The Moon, and
Brother’s Keeper
4.
Show God’s love and Christian example to the 19 students and at least
18 cast/crew members in my sphere of influence
I realize that only part of the issue is that our health
insurance was just raised by $59 a month to fund, in part, services that go
completely against our moral code and beliefs. If I do not do my part, with
myself and those 40+ people God has put in my life, RIGHT NOW, to fall more in more
in love with God and realize they shouldn't use, desire, or support those services... I am deficient.
What is God calling you to do - not what do you think you should do - at this point in your life?
