She has this compassion in her that burns bright as the stars. She doesn’t tell people, Not even me and I’d say we are pretty close. My younger sister has always been special, an old soul with a passion for mission work and helping people. This is the kind of risk taking I’m not good at, and thats okay. It was a risk that my mom took head on, because she saw it as an opportunity to share Gods love with them. Did she forget how poor we were? We lived in an 1100 ft 3 bedroom 1 bath house and my room was NOT BIG ENOUGH TO SHARE! This was life changing for all of us in a hard way. Lets talk about her self sacrifice, when we were in middle school, My aunt was supposed to get deployed to Desert storm in Iraq and needed a caretaker for her 2 daughters for 2 YEARS. As a Mother Im sure she wanted to tell me what she would do, but she didnt, she always referred back to what Jesus would do. She really meant that, her advice is ALWAYS based on what she thinks Jesus would do. I would come to my mom out of desperation, needing a wise word and she would say “What would Jesus do” I still to this day laugh at how absurd my level of annoyance was when she would say this. Which annoyed me to the point of wanting to punch her face. When I used to ask my mom for advice she always referred to WWJD. They don’t care to share what they are doing.but they do amazing things. I have 2 woman in my life that have allowed me to write about them, from my perspective. Your selfless sacrifice will not be lost in the noise of the world. its NO different than the Risk takers like me, shouting from the rooftops. You are the Silent sacrificer of things other than money. “NOT TRUE “ You guys, you are the quiet army, the silent world changers. I see youĪ few woman have reached out to me saying, Im not like those people. This post is for the quiet world changers. and they are championing other women to do all their hearts ever desired and doing the slow clap with true happiness for them as they see them succeed. In the Southern Oregon area, there is an uprising of women who are doing incredible things, inspiring, brave, courageous steps. It has nothing to do with risk, but when I do something brave, and being in the public eye its almost like I shout it for all to hear. We all know the song, we sing it at the top of our lungs when it plays in the car, or in my case, In my head when Im about to do something exciting.
