There are a few neat things to report tonight.
GOD has been putting it on my heart for the past several weeks, to start a Bible Study in PB... I tossed the idea to the crowd a few weeks ago, and a few said they were interested in joining that... but I hadn't brought it up again. Tonight one of the guys asked me when that was going to start because he's really eager to have that time getting to learn GOD's word with me. Seven other guys heard us discussing it and also want to get in on the study!
We will be starting that next week at 1pm, right on the grassy area above where we serve dinner. (Please pray with me about this and GOD's plans.)
I discovered that GOD provided transportation for Pockets and helped meet his needs. Sadly, Pockets was in & out of the hospital for the past few weeks. His drinking is wrecking him. His health is deteriorating and unless he fully surrenders and allows Jesus to work in his life, his days on Earth are numbered.
Our precious friend, Lisa, made it out tonight! She is always a joy to see. I thank GOD that He has given her strength and for Him healing her fragile body. Weeks ago, she fell while she was at home and broke a bone.
We had a great number of volunteers tonight. It freed some of us regulars up, which allowed us to move around as the Spirit led and minister to our neighbors.
Jason was able to make it out again and bless us with his anointed worship music. Through worship music, GOD brings an indescribable peace to the area. You can almost feel the presence of His angels standing guard and singing with us.
Something very interesting happened with Amanda and a regular attendee...
Trials and tribulation hit all of us at certain times. There is no escaping it, but comfort comes to those who put their trust in The Lord when they come your way. The time for Amanda and I is now. I've chosen to withhold burdening those close to us with what we are experiencing, but GOD knows. For whatever reason, Jesus sent Eva, an elderly woman, to share His good news to Amanda. It was delivered in the form of Psalm 41:1 - "Blessed is he who considers the poor; The LORD will deliver him in time of trouble".
I look forward to seeing what happens next. I'm thankful that I have a Heavenly Father who promises to look after His children and provide our needs. I'm thankful to be in a position where we can serve and share our hope in Jesus Christ with others.
GOD is so good!
