"I realized my slightly reduced life is still extraordinary in every way. There is no end to my advantages. For whatever reason I was born into privilege; I've never known hunger, poverty, or despair. I have been blessed, blessed, blessed - relationally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically. My life is so happy it's almost embarrassing."
I often wonder about the thought/mystery of being born into privilege. If I am in the bracket of the wealthiest 4% of the world, a world of 7 billion people, that is kind of rare. Being in the top 4% financially is a big responsibility for me. Welp, seems I have a lot to give away!
Where shall I begin!!!!!!!!!
That's my best friend Karla being the best human in the world. I am biased, whatever, she really is the best and I am her biggest fan. Even though she is 7 hours ahead of me and currently halfway around the globe, she is changing my world by giving so much of herself away. I often think of her as I read Hatmaker's book. Karla is a living example of having much but choosing to give it away and live with little.
Current life goal: be more like Jesus and Karla.
