In His Name

This weekend we have served our Lord, by serving others. (Sadly I have no pictures)

We (along with a life group member) woke up early to go to the local homeless shelter and cook and serve breakfast for the kind people there. Then later on we went to the youth shelter and had a water fight with the kids there. Driving away from those places made me think about why those people got there...possibly just had hard times, abuse, or something else. It makes me want to do more. I need to brainstorm on how to give back more, the problem I'm running into is I'm busy (which is a horrible reason), I'm also going to school, raising my son, and I literally don't have time or money. My husband and I have talked about things we want to do when we have the land/time/money etc. but when will that be??

Today, we got to spend some fellowship time and say farewell to some friends that will be leaving for Uganda this week. There were some tears, a few laughs, a lots of prayers. They told of why they are doing it (because God led them to it) and of their training (including killing, preparing, and cooking a chicken) and how much all of it means to them. Which also led me to think I really want a chance to do God's work too! I want to be able to spread the good word where it's not so easy to come by. All I ask now is to have time and means to do God's work everyday, in any way possible.
