I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed our journey together and to share with you an experience with God today.
I headed into work just as usual but really needed to drive just by the park so I made the block and drove by but nobody there except Stephen. Yeah, no thanks on that conversation. I got in my office was hanging out downstairs and a guy in a rebel hat goes strolling by the window. He was not so nice either. Wow first hour already seen two guys from the weekend.
Almost everyday I grab a sandwich at Jimmy Johns (even though Stephen says they suck) and I usually walk down the alley behind the Driscoll. Like EVERYDAY. Except today the alley is closed. No biggie, so I walk out on Congress and as I cross over 7th heading South I see Steve (guy that came to church with us) sitting at the bus stop. So I go over say Hello and I see he is eating so I say I am going to grab a sandwich and talk to him in a minute. I walk down towards Pita Pit and this woman asks me if she can have some money to get a pita. I told her no way those sandwiches “suck” lets go to Jimmy John’s. So we go grab her a sandwich and she is very gracious and says she doesn’t have many friends out on the street. I told her to go to the park and meet my friends. I hope to see Christy on Wednesday on our mobile loaves run. Then I head back up the street and sit down next to Steve and we have a great talk for a few minutes.
See what makes this so amazing is that I never got to talk to Steve the entire weekend. Not at any length and I was disappointed especially after they came to church with us Sunday. And I still did not have time to chat with him.
We serve a Mighty God and thoughtful God. One that will dig up an alley just perhaps so I may receive a small reward.
