Seeing Eyes

Life is always full of so many twists and turns and uncertainties...  But we step out into the unknown anyway.  I feel like I'm being led to take my life away from Memphis for awhile, but the longer I'm here the more needs I see and want to see through.  From the homeless man I pass every Wednesday to the 4th graders needing help in school to the widow all alone to the young woman in need of guidance to the refugees wanting to learn English...  My heart is so big, yet my body is so small.  Sometimes I wonder how I could ever leave Memphis, but then I'm reminded that there will always be needs and that needs will abound wherever I go.  If only I have the eyes to see.
