White Chicks

I just finished watching White Chicks, oh man.. it is such a classic movie. I forgot how funny it was =) I had some good laughs. I wonder if there are any more movies out there like that...

Lately a lot of people have been pricking at my nerves. It's something I have to get over but at the same time I just keep getting angry. For example, I'm not exactly the happiest at how people are responding to volunteering for DVBS. Whether it's their willingness to volunteer, or what they volunteer for. I don't blame people who really can't make it because of a job or something. The thing is that even though some people have work, their hearts are still praying for DVBS and eagerly want to help out. I won't complain about the people who are willing to give up their time to come help out either... but for the people who do have the time... I'm just going to end there. I'm just wondering what people's hearts are set on.

Volunteer training is coming up next week. I have prepared a few things here and there to say about where I hope and pray their hearts are.. but I question just how many people are going to pay attention and listen. I'm not out to condemn anyone, but I'm just frustrated. So frustrated with a lot of things and I can't think of anything that will make a change, or make an impact. I feel so useless despite my frustrations and that only makes my frustrations worsen.

I spent the last few weeks asking myself what I'm doing for DVBS and where my heart is. I'll be honest and say that when we started, my heart was anywhere but DVBS. But after praying, and just renewing my thoughts.. conviction strikes.. and patience begins.

All right. I'm going to end here. That's all I have to blog for now. Hopefully I'll be able to keep up with blogging when DVBS starts. I'm starting to get excited about it. And to be brutally honest... I miss those kids.

Unfortunately there's nothing you can do about 'those' people except to pray that their attitudes will change...because there's nothing we can do. That's for God to take care of. It's frustrating. But that also means however many volunteers you have is however many God thinks is sufficient. Like Gideon's army :)
Hope this will give you a little encouragement!
