So I have felt really weak lately. Odd because I have lost 20 some pounds since May and my body is stronger than it has been in years.
But so many of my friends have problems... school, relationship, health, family, etc. So many of my friends are going out of their minds with stress.
And I can't do anything.
There are some issues within my community here at VT. And I don't have the strength to fix them... I don't even know where to start.
I am just not strong enough to deal with and fix all the issues around me that I want to fix.
That is partly good. I have been needing to rely on God more. Because he is strong enough, and I know he has my back and cares for the rest of his children that are hurting...
But I still want to help. I still want to fix things... and I can't.
God help me to see where you have granted me the strength to be involved and to support my friends or push for change. And please give me peace about the places where I can't.

It's really hard to empathize with people and not hear their problems and to not just be able to walk away and forget them. I think I am learning that my job is to carry people to Jesus when they share their hurts and weaknesses with me. It's a hard place to be in, and you will never be strong enough and that's exactly why Jesus puts you there because then you're forced to rely on Him. He loves you, Allen.
