Giving away 90%

Since the beginning [not of the world but of our adoption journey] I've felt like something has been missing. I couldn't really put my finger on it nor did I have the time nor energy to figure it out anyway. I recently came across a book that I was compelled to check out. This book's author is the pastor of a church out in California. His view of God has radically changed and challenged me. Check out some of the things about this pastor's life and see if it doesn't do the same for you:

He is a pastor, husband and father of six children.
He and his wife downsized their home to 1,000 sq. feet so that others can have more.
He opts to not have a savings or retirement account so that he has to fully rely on God for his needs.
He admitted to currently making $500,000 a year, but he and his wife give away 90% of their income.
He is obsessed with Jesus.

Okay...wait a minute. The dude makes $500,000 a year and he gives away $450,000 of it? How is that possible? I believe that is what has been missing from my life. The adoption process and all of it's drama has more than comsumed me. So much so that I have not been able to recognize the needs around me. I don't want to miss another day, another moment of being available to what God may have for me and my family. I need to shift my "crazy love" for getting this phone call for our daughter. When God allows it it will happen. Until then, there's a lot of love to be spreading around and I want to give away 90% of it!
