Ordinary people doing extraordinary things

This update is a little sad for me. But I decided to share his story because i believe this is the kind of people we all need to learn from.When u get to an organization you see how everything works without thinking who payed the price of breaking the barriers in order to make things easier for the new generation.
Mayor Michael Sharpe was a leader at the Salvation Army when i started working there at the age of 18.I used to hear so many great stories about a "gringo" who decided to come to Central America and helped many people change their minds. A family who adopted two of the 3 beautiful daugthers they have and transformed their life in a marvelous way. I can say many things i heard and saw that really showed me what to be a barrier breaker was like. and not only show but challenged me to become into something more than an ordinary person. 'coz at some point i realized that i wanted to do more...
Many of us want to do more than just go church and sit on the same sit until Jesus comes back, but the truth is that many of us are too affraid to take the risk. Perhaps because our society is telling us how impossible is to do extraordinary things when you are a youg person or poor or unqualified or maybe unexperted, but people like major Sharpe thaugth me that to become an ordinary person doing extraordinary things all you need is FAITH and COURAGE. Living a life of purity in a world that every day gives us many ways to be a "open minded chirstian" is not easy, taking the risk of letting God take you beyond your limits is certainly scary.
But when i look back and remember all the things people like major Sharpe did for JEsus reminds me that God always send someone to break the barriers to make things a lit bit easier for the new generation. He did more than just impact a society and the comunity of Bridgepot Ct. he showed us what to really have God's fingerprints in the heart looks like , by a willingly life of service and love for the people that no one wanted to be with. Now tha the Lord called him home ; the ones who reamin here will always remember the words of the tall man who choosed life in a place where many get shootand killed , who choosed love in a society where an orphan means nothing and who choosed GOd in a world where everybody think is the last thing you need.
May we always pray that GOd raise up more people like him wich example challenge the youth to do something more than clapping hands on a sunday service or speaking words of commitment we never acomplished. Let's pray God raises more ORDINARY people to do EXTRAORDINARY things... let's pray God makes us the one who will transform this generation and will prepare the path for the one to come..
