Fun fact: I LOVE statistics! I just can't get enough of them! I look up statistics for everything pertaining to anything! Really! I do! Go ahead call me a nerd all you want, it won't bother me a bit.
I can't pin point when, or what may have started this "obsession" or even why I enjoy it so much. Maybe it's the sense of knowledge I get from breaking things down into numbers and percents. Maybe that's just my brains way of organizing information. Or maybe it's a sense of understanding in hopes to better grasp a comprehension of this immense world we live in.
I'm not sure.
One thing I do know is I can't say it is because of the warm perception it gives me. Because truth is, most of the stuff I look up statistics for leaves me feeling lost in a hopeless world. Lost amongst 7 billion people jam packed into this temporary holding ground. Jam packed in this ephemeral world we have been given to live out our short meager lives in.
I am 1 in 7,ooo,ooo,ooo, you are 1 in 7,ooo,ooo,ooo, and this community isn't even a fraction of a percent of 7,ooo,ooo,ooo. So maybe I really just like statistics for the reminder of how insignificant I really am.
Whatever the reason, I have the urgency to make these people known! I am tired of real living, loving, hurting people being anonymous or just another number in the books. They are NOT just another number, God loves these people, and yet I have never met them, I love them too and want the very best for them.
"Every number has a name, every name has a story and every story matters to God"
