The vibes in the air tonight were different. Yes it was peaceful, but there was something else too that I can't pinpoint exactly. Above all else, I know that He was there and that's all that really matters anyways.
The Ministry has been almost overloaded with the amount of clothing being donated these days. As the tables were being set up with the neatly folded stacks of items, you could see the eagerness in the eyes of those who waited to see what they might obtain. I know anyone reading this blog can testify that it feels good to have something new to wear. It's a huge blessing for me to be a part of something that will glorify God and make somebody else happy... even if the happiness only lasts temporarily.
We had extra volunteers join our team this evening. The word about our Ministry has started to trickle to the congregation at our home church. It's very encouraging to see the hearts of so many, who want to get off the pews and outside of the 4 walls and actually put His love into action. I thank God for His provisions and for His faithfulness.
Although, we witnessed the typical drunkenness and unhealthy lifestyles that some live, we also were given the opportunity to see fruits from the Ministry. More people have shown interest in getting off the streets, with plans made to enter into the SDRM on Monday morning. Another amazing incident is about a man named "Tunaboat Jim", a retired Veteran who will be having surgery in a few days. I'll share that in the next few weeks.
God was glorified tonight and His word went out with the promise that it does not return void.
