i have been in d.c. for almost a week and it has really been amazing. i know that God has awesome things in store and although i can't pin point one huge thing i have learned this week all the small things are adding up. the experiences i am having at csm are def. shaping me and transforming my views on a lot of things.
it's funny because i love what i am doing and want to be serving God in the city, but then this other part of me after starting to see what contributes to what with homelessness and other issues of the city i want be on capitol hill trying to change legislation..but just remembering that really gov't does not change things just God and knowing that where ever i am he can use me to make a diff. or light up the darkness...
and what i have been experiencing as much as i love this bridge band song which lines sing "You love to light up the darkness here, through us" my job here at csm is not only to light up the darkness...but to bring more light to lit places.
it's interesting after coming here and contrasting with my atl trip last year how much i love people that are homeless,and hearing there stories. I mean the lady nikki that mo and i met she gave us the gospel and just was so encouraging to us so i just love how God uses all people to preach.
i also have noticed how many things i could be doing to praise God and i don't...just like using some talents and blessings he has given me to the best of my ability. so i am going to begin trying to do this...
let's see what i have missed we worked with and organization called food and friends which may be my fav. that we work with they are very efficient and organized and just so reliable but they to meal deliveries mostly to be HIV, but many other illnesses...but i really like them and mo and i delivered food with jason-director and it was really good and we also went back to children of mine where i spoke about shoveling before and were able to just hangout with kids and they enjoyed our company. mo was holding it down danicing, and drawing for the boys, her performing & arts talents are beautiful examples of the glory of God and she continues to use her talents with a passion which is awesome...actually it's amazing to see and very humbling for me.
but things are going great i was able to hang out with julie raf. from camp and chat with her just about what God has been doing and it was just so great to see her and hangout at a coffee shop and just catch up : )it's always great to see someone from camp. always!
"fill us up so Your love will overflow, heaven come to earth, and light up the darkness here, and we love to light up the darkness here. through us."
