grilled cheese and God

so this post really isn't about me - but it's still worth writing about.

today was the second installment of women's club through the family care dept. at the mission. usually during these women's fellowships linda has a lite lunch, a craft and a devo. time -- last week she felt God prompting her to not have a craft - but to just spend time in the Word. so they did - her report after was exciting.

well. . . today, i actually forgot women's club was happening until my 12:30pm appointment didn't show up and i needed to go get lunch. after the fellowship, linda reported that today was even more amazing. she saw one of the ladies step up and pray outloud - the lady confessed that God had spoken to her yesterday and told her if linda asked someone else to pray she needed to do it - that's a big step! and then linda saw ruby - one of the ladies - who has very low self-esteem and cannot read - share how God is anwering her desires to be more bold - linda shared how ruby just shined and testified - esp. to the ladies who came who don't know Christ. linda also shared how the ladies are just soaking up the Word - desiring to grow and feed more from Him then from the lunch prepared.

linda and i spent the remaining time of our work day just marvaling at what God has and is doing in the lives of the clients - even when we don't see it -- as i prepared to the stuff i need to go and speak at a church tonight, i couldn't help but be reminded that despite the budget issues, the ever decreasing staff, the tons of work projects and not enough quality volunteers - God's moving - and He will despite and inspite of this.

i look foward to hanging with the awana kids - it wasn't too long ago that another group of awana kids and workers ministered to me when i was in need and i was there to speak to them - God's body is awsome!
