Power of Purpose

I love to organize!  But you already know that.  On Thursday night I recieved an email asking me if I would LEAD one of the projects for our Serve the City day this past Saturday.  You also know that "lead" is a four letter word to me.  I hate to lead!  I will not lead!  BUT...they asked me to be the project leader for the group going to clean out and organize our donation closet at the office.  Okay Lord, how can I say no to that?

I love to organize!  The day was fantastic.  I love when God calls us to serve in areas that are our strengths.  I love when God provides amazing support around us as he did for me in a girl on my team name Merica.  I love when I step out in faith and God proves Himself faithful again.

And now I have some purpose.
I am so excited to serve the refugee children who fled their countries with nothing by organizing all the art supplies and games.
I am so excited to serve the homeless by organizing all the towels, soaps, and clothes.
I am so excited to serve the office staff by creating an organized and clean space to store supplies for the differently-abled, and abused.
I am so excited.

Little is Much

The kids are almost home for school.  I have a quick second and I just needed to put this down in writing.

There is this AMAZING Body and Soul song that has been my go to song of encouragement these past weeks.  I just had it on a CD but never knew who the artist was.  So I went to share it with a dear friend and discovered that it was Glenn Lavenders old band Downhere!!  I almost feel out of my seat.  Of course it made me sad that we are not working right alongside him at the Chapel but how powerful to me that I know the man behind the song.

Seriously this song has been working a miracle in my heart and fits exactly how I feel.  You must listen.

Consider a chair in a manger...
