Loving the Least.

Dear Reeeeddeeerrr,

After reading Katie's blog, I've been rethinking everything. My heart longs to be just like her heart. I see it and I'm reminded of Jesus' and care and His careful instructions to follow in His likeness.
Last night I had an amazing realization from God and we had a good time as He taught me about what my heart could and should  look like. I think He will begin to make my heart different like He's done in Katie.

Today was simple, and it was lovely. Hustle and bustle just rob me of so much life. Today I got to go to work bright and early at 6 am. I started off motivated, but left flustered, and I realized that this place is a part of my mission. I need to love these people in a brilliant, radiant way, just like Jesus. I want them to come through the drive-through, even the angriest of customers, and find me smiling, even if some old man just questioned me about the use of a dollar coin for twenty minutes or a woman decided to yell at me. I want to love them anyway.
Then I got to go spend the night with my mum. We didn't do anything special, pizza and movies and a little chit chat. Bridesmaids was the first of the movies we watched followed by Dinner for Schmucks. Although they were a bit inappropriate I actually loved watching them. They had a constant theme, at least one I saw- especially the second one! They were about these immensely lowly and hurt people.
In Dinner for Schmucks, Steve Carrell plays a man who's wife leaves him for his boss, is probably slightly retarded, and does taxidermy on mice. The other guy is a business-man trying to get a promotion and will have to make fun of this man in front of the Heads if he wants it, but he would hate himself for it. Basically, through the movie there's this overwhelming theme of loving the lowly. Steve Carrell is loved by no one, but has such a beautiful heart; if someone would only take the time and have the patience to love him. This business man does that and it was just so awesome to me.
It reminds me of Katie in a way. Loving these orphans who everyone else treats like trash,- who they think are totally worthless- but she sees such beautiful hearts. That's what makes Katie's, and the business man's heart so beautiful.
I want to be just like that.

Chelsy.
