Frustration

I'm frustrated. i'm sick of people's emotional state being determined by their circumstances. i'm sick of people letting those emotions control them. i'm sick of hearing about perception overtaking reality. i'm sick of people making stupid assumptions. i'm sick of immaturity. i'm sick of "christians" living so unlike Christ. i'm sick of people making excuses. i'm sick of people living to please other people. i'm sick of fakes, liars, and hypocrites. i'm sick of hearing about people in need and not hearing about people doing anything about it. i'm sick of hearing all about the "will of the God" and how far the church and its people are from "it." i'm sick of how much of this is true of me.

And I don't want to hear people making excuses. i don't want to hear all the Christianese "answers." I don't want to hear "things will get better" from all those people not doing anything about it.

What I want to hear is that someone is stepping up. What I want to hear is that God is wrecking people's lives. What I want to hear is that love is breaking through the pain.

...what I need to hear is that grace and love are real.

...what I need to hear is that it starts with me.
