I'm very active with Habitat for Humanity and have been for awhile. Before becoming involved with them, I really didn't understand the program and am glad I do now. It's a hand up, not a hand out. And I don't see leaving anytime soon.

Though I am different from you,
We were born involved in one another.

For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.
