Command and Conquer...
I really want to help people, well a few people in particular, but I don't know how. People tell me about their life and it always seems so horrible or at least it was. But the people I want to help, their lifes are still horrible. But it is hard to help when they don't want the help or don't know that they need help or they aren't here to help.

I hate to say it, but sometimes you're put in a position in which you really can't help someone.
Perhaps it's to test your tolerance, or maybe it's because you're not needed even though it looks otherwise.
Maybe you're needed to be supportive at a distance, not involved on the frontlines, you know?
This guy was talking this weekend and I thought of you. I think I mentioned it earlier today, but what really connected was that he said he used to work at Subway.
Now he's this pastor and doing some very sweet stuff in his community.
You, my friend, are learning to love and to be a person of compassion. As you do this you and you learn HOW to speak into other peoples' lives, you will get more responsibility. We talked about this...but words rarely ever fix things. I hope our conversation helped at least a little.
