Where My Peeps At?!!

Well, it is another lovely day here in LA (lower Archdale). The weather is perfect and I am going running after work. I really enjoy being outdoors. Well since the last post, my family and I have been attending Day Star Christian Fellowship. I am actually going to be involved with a community outreach this weekend so I am excited about that. Harmony is going back to school this week. She is almost finished with her associates. Then she is going for her Bachelor Degree. I am so proud of her. The boys will be going back as well next week and our other kids (adopted) are going as well. Later on that.

I have been praying a lot lately and listening to God's voice. I really since a strong pull to continuous outreach in my community, job, and everywhere. I am finding that there are so many opportunities everywhere if we just slow down and humble ourselves to accept them. Most of us search for a big thing like; going to China as a missionary or starting a church etc... But we could miss out on the small things and opportunities to serve and love and connect people to God if we become too proud or big (puffed up). Look at the good Samaritan story. Luke 10:33-35 Out of these 3 men who passed by this person on his deathbed, the non believer who was despised in this culture was the one who stopped to help. The Religious men felt that they had more important things to do for God than to help this one. Or Luke 15:3-7/Matthew 18-12-14 Jesus said that he would leave 99 to save 1. He says that let everyone become childlike in there ways so that not to become self sufficient as well as to have childlike enthusiasm for him. You know, like when a kid gets to blow out candles or open up gifts or if you are blessed like me, have your kid run up to you at the end of your workday and squeeze your neck and kiss you like they had not seen you for years. Have you noticed that when kids ask questions, they truly want answers and sometimes adults just push them away or give them some junk instead of explaining in depth to their understanding of course. But God wants us to truly seek him. To ask with an expectant heart and with childlike anticipation (not childish). That we would seek him daily and not let a moment or situation go by that we could seize to glorify our father. For it is for our benefit that we do so. He loves us so much, we just have to except his love over all else.
