Using what I've been given

[Rashiir]

This summer, I didn't get a job. I could have, but I didn't, because I thought I didn't need money. I don't really. If I'm fed, I'm happy, usually. I thought that it would be a better use of my time to spend it with my friends than to waste it earning money I didn't need.

Well, it's not that I need money now any more than I did then. But then I heard on the radio about families that live in developing countries. The parents make an average of about $67 a month. Then I realized that I could make that in 10 hours of work. I've wasted my time.

I realized that I could have spent my summer here where it would be easy for me to get a job and get paid well helping those that live where neither of those things are true. I buried my mina.

So now I've decided to try and earn what money I can to give to those that need it. I don't need it. I don't want it. But they do.

Please pray for me.

That's really very good of you. How many people consider that when considering summer plans? In any case, it sounds difficult. I'll be praying for you.

That is very "New Testament" of you if you know what I mean. I think it's an awesome thing to do, and I'll be praying about it.

Yeah, that's a commitment you rarely see considered, let alone made. Make the decision wisely with God's guidance (and prayer will be in force, of course).

Yes. No. A bit?
