and the glory of it all is You came here....

its that time again.

i am not finding it necessary to blog everyday but we will see how regular i can make it. i only want to blog when i feel inspired.

yesterday and today were both great days. let's see yesterday we started with devos and it was mo's turn to tell her story. which i loved hearing the story that God gave her. she did a fabulous job and i am so excited to be working with her and having a group soon. i feel like the past two days we have gotten to bond a lot.

yesterday we did a exercise 'urban plunge' that our groups will in fact be doing when they get to the city and we each had two dollars and had to do all these things at dupont circl interacting with the people that were homeless and stuff it was a great time. we met mikey and nikki. nikki ended up just being her street name but it was a great time. God ended up leading mo and i back to nikki at a later time that afternoon/evening.

christine mary [nikki] was very inspiring...it reminded me a lot of atlanta and i just realized how much i not only love homeless people but i love hearing their stories. christine was a believer so we got to hear all about how God has been working in her heart and before we left we were able to pray with her. it was a good time.

we also went to ben's chilli bowl for lunch which was great. i loved my half-smoke. this is one of the place's that we will take our groups when they come so i probably won't eat there much on my own but with groups i am hosting. did i mention how excited i am.

today we started the morning with the story God gave Kristen which i def. loved hearing. God is sooo good. after devos and a quick session on debriefing which reminded me a lot of camp...lccc : )...mo and i were sent on a scavenger hunt all over the city can you say soooooo much fun. we were all over the metro and all over dc-se,ne,nw it was fantabulous.

i also stopped in college summit and was able to see some peeps that helped start the program at my school. i hope to start working with them soon- volunteering maybe on my off days. i joined the alumni connection though so i at least will be in there database.

our scavenger hunt ended with a trip to pollo grajero which is a peruvian place. another place mo and i will be bringing groups. i almost....forgot on our scavenger hunt we had to find this coffeehouse 'ebenezer coffehouse' which is owned by a church and it was the most fantastic hot chocolate i have ever had. we also saw dan 'csm prez' and kristin 'csm ad' it was great to see them though and too find a christian hangout spot too.

all in all to really good days but the best part is really seeing God in the city. it was just a wonderful time and i hoping for many more lessons to come my way.

love God-love people.
