ripples in the water

I have hope, a hope that my insignificant life will be like that initiating drop of something that causes a ripple in the water. That it spreads and effects more exponentially. I desire to live out what i believe in my mind. My beliefs about life, family, and values. We often say we want change to happen in our world, but are often reluctant to begin to live that change. When we desire to se children of the streets to begin to value eachother, do we ourselves respect and value our peers, or even our enemies. It's tough to be in a place where there are so many problems to begin to address. It's tough to overcome my fears in wanting to believe in change, and investing living in the inner city. It's tough to find good fellowship to remain encouraged. It's tough to be single and male in the service field where there arent many guys.
