Just another Bowl of Ramen...

Here I sit with the lights dimmed, only the blue lights on. I'm sitting in my chair, attempting to share whats on my heart. I am thankful for my food. Compared to many people a bowl of ramen when I feel like it is a feast for a king. I wonder about the homeless... it is so cold out side, and I'm in a t shirt with no socks or shoes on. I am eating a bowl of ramen noodles... people are starving... I feel like I have no money, the fifteen dollars in my wallet could buy a lot of ramen for people... or coffee or a decent meal.... or a few shirts or pants... gloves..... I could buy a bible for someone who doesn't have one. I could take a struggling friend out for coffee... I could do a lot of things...

I'm sitting at my computer....how many dollar meny items could that buy..... I am listening to music.... what I want to hear when I want to hear it.... Talking to My friends.... in My room.... What makes a person think that the man Jesus told to sell everything he had was wicked for being upset when Jesus said that? I know that it is easy to say Yeah I could do that.... For Jesus....If I had too...

Would I be sad? If I had to give up my computer, tv, cell phone, 2-3 meals a day (exchange for 2-3 meals a week)my guitar, my car, my comfy bed, my blankets...would I be sad? I would be distraught....

I'm on my second bowl of ramen....


I want to move for people... I want to be like Jesus. I want to give my all... everything.... whether that means selling it all or giving to all..... or whatever Jesus tells me to do..... I'm there

In Christ
