So my new friend...
shes becoming my partner in crime...actually more like ministry...but if anyone thinks of a fun name for us...like bonnie & clyde we are looking... (wink)
anyway...i dont know if i have mentioned her already, but she is a huge blessing. i do much better working in a team than individually and she brings something really great to the days that i am at the BMC (baptist ministry center) right now i am there on mondays and wednesdays, but she is only coming on wednesdays...but let me tell you it IS a blessing.
we hand out food, but then we will go visit people in the neighborhood together and the last 3 or 4 weeks we have taken girls to eat at the only restaurant near the BMC called twin oaks. we are building a good relationship with them. in fact me and lindsay were talking and realizing that most of the employees at twin oaks probably are from the neighborhood or have a story similar to the girls we are working with now...we need to invest in them just as much.
in fact...some of you know that this community i am in here is more charasmatic than i have ever been involved with before. i few months ago north island church (which is where i go most of the time) did a prophecy convention with some people that came in from atlanta. so i decided we needed to practice some of the skills that they taught at twin oaks.
so God gave us a word for the woman giving us our food. we also asked God to tell us her name...lindsay got brandi and i got jodi...not the same name, but same ending...well her name was daphine...so the i part on the end was right...we are still learning to listen to God when He tells us things. bc i really do believe that when you speak into someones life...the impact can be huge and when its a complete stranger and God uses you its even more impactful.
i want to be able to speak into peoples lives and do it well. listen to God and bring words of life! in Gods word we are told many many times that the power of the tongue either brings life or death. i want the discernment, boldness, clarity and wisdom to really hear the Lord and speak words of life to those all around me.
so all those rambles to say...Lindsay is a wonderful partner in ministry at the BMC. she is bold, gracious, encouraging, and so much more. a great resource as she also works will braveheart and care-net here in brunswick.
plus she is really becoming a wonderful friend to me in this community here. i have nothing but great things to say about her!
