It is hard some days to be single at home. Even when I have a day off I don't feel very useful to someone else. Most of my friends have families and are very busy. I have some downtime and feel guilty for it. Like it is not useful time in making a difference in people's lives. It is hard to come home from a trip like Haiti and not be feeling useless at home. I struggle with this. Yes, I think I make a difference at work but most of the time I don't see it.
But...... I can be making a difference every day by praying. I forget this sometimes. God hears our prayers. He can and will make a difference. Thank you Lord that you are active even when we are not.
