Quotes...

"Spirituality is not to be learned in flight from the world, by fleeing from things to a place of solitude; rather, you must learn to maintain an inner solitude regardless of where you are or who you are with. You must learn to penetrate things and find God there." - Meister Eckhart -

Tuesday Mornings

Email I received from a friend.
I don't know what it is about this email that touched my heart...
It had a powerful impact on me.
Especially the Tuesday Mornings.

------------------------------------
hi friends!

i hope you're having a good week so far. i've been praying, reading your letters and trying to figure out how i can support all these people who are going out on missions this year! it's been a struggle..being so poor and having to be so dependent on my parents, school loans, albert and all of my generous friends. i've decided that if i were to give financially, it would be out of guilt and obligation, and that i'd be giving money that i just don't have. i'm sorry because i know the reality is that we need the money to get us were God wants us to be. although i can't support you financially, i will be committed to pray for you and your team. i'm so blessed to see how God has worked in you and through you and i know that God will open your eyes to all that he is doing all over the world.

i pray that you will grow by leaps and bounds through this experience. i have your team marked down for every tuesday morning until the end of july. thanks for representing the N-OC! in your own ways, you have all supported me, and i hope to be able to give as generously when i finaly start making my own money!

thanks for being a part of my life and i'm honored to have received a letter from you guys. looking forward to hearing all the stories...the good, the bad, the ugly and the God-inspired moments. love, xxx (name omitted for privacy purposes)
