Sold Out kicked off a success

Praise God!!! I have been fighting many issues including a variety of health issues all week. The enemy has tried to stop me from fulfilling the vision God gave me to lead a believer's service for Diverge. The vision/plan started to unfold 9 months ago and God has given me pieces of the big picture over these 9 months. The last Sunday in May God put it all together to give me his plan for the summer. We had four students and five sponsors here and the Spirit of God fell upon us like a shower! It started a movement :) and I look forward to what the summer holds!

NYC changed me FOREVER!!!!!

Amazing to think that a month ago I was heading to NYC. I went on the best mission trip ever. I can't wait for next year. It blows my mind to know there is over 100,000 homeless people in NYC. Urban missions is important and was an eye opening experience. So many of us get caught up in our every day lives that we lose focus on those who are lost, broken and dying in this world. God has called us to take care of those who are less fortunate. I learned that some of these homeless people because victims of circumstance and life. Most of them were not homeless by chose and lost EVERYTHING including their kids.

Can you imagine waking up one day and losing everything? One lady I met got sick went into the hospital for a month, came home and her apartment building had burned down. She lost everything she had EXCEPT the joy of the Lord that lives in her heart :) Praise God for Mary!!!

God showed me right after I lost my job in January and I heard about this trip that I had to go. As I questioned God on why, she showed me he was sending me someone who needed to hear my testimony. God sent her as one of the last clients we did a beauty treatment for the day we went to the Homeless Women's Shelter. The moment I looked into her eyes I knew she was the one God showed me 4 months prior that I would meet...Praise an awesome God because I needed to meet her as much as she may have needed to meet me! :)
