I can’t stop thinking about her again. Listening to Joel Osteen is a guilty pleasure of mine and I listened to a few sermon’s, this one hit me like a ton of bricks.

#594, Serve One Another

"Jesus taught us in scripture that if we want to be great in life, we have to serve other people. (Mark 10:43) In this encouraging message, Joel reminds us of the very wisdom Jesus taught. Many people are not happy in life because they're only focused on themselves; their dreams, their goals or their problems. But this type of living is very limiting. We were created to give and live outward. God has put people in your life on purpose so you can be a blessing to them. Every morning, we should ask, "God, what is my assignment today? Help me see the people You want me to be good to." Matthew 6:4 says, "Your Father, who sees what you give in secret, will reward you in the open." It's a promise. When you give of your time and bless others, God will bless you in return. You will live a more fulfilled life and have the satisfaction of making someone else's life better, too!"

I need some words of encouragement as I just sit here waiting for the outcome of what I've set in motion (EEO, WTF, IRS) and I'm going a little stir crazy.

I've felt this nudge to "adopt" Janet and wrote it off as "insane" and not feasible at the time since I had a full house as it was. Then today I googled "adopting a homeless person" and stumbled upon a page dedicated to this.

He calls it "Homeless Ministry" He is a devout Jew so I probably would have never come across his site otherwise.

What happened was equivalent to the download I had at the beginning of Spirit School when I wept tears of joy and gratitude and knowing.

I know that this is what I am supposed to do since I've already done most of it but I'm anticipating a lot of resistance from my family. Please help!!!!
