One day at a time

Throughout my life as a Christ follower I've been told more times than I can count, that if I truly love Christ then it will unreasonable love will flow through me, and I will have a new found love for people I don't even know. For many years this was something that I put on the back burner of my mind, thinking it is ridiculous to love someone I don't know. Recently I have chosen to compete in Mr. Dallas, and annual competition among high school men to raise money for Doernbecher Children's Hospital. As I have been fundraising the past month and a half I have come to realize that the money I used to dedicate to things like iTunes and Mt. Dew, are now focused more on giving to this hospital to save these kids I've never met, nor do I even have a name to match who this money is going to. Regardless I have realized that I love these kids, these kids that don't get to go to the movies on the weekend or go to a school dance, these kids don't get to live a normal life and yet they have more heart, fight and will then most of us find in ourselves. My efforts to raise $5000 will continue from now until March and I will fight, drive, and strive to raise this amount for the Tommy fighting cancer, or the jessica that needs a bone marrow transplant, or the everyone that is suffering financially to pay there medical bills. This idea of true love, is an unreal experience, it's something that motivates me on a daily basis and something that I cannot fight against like a raging river.
