GOING TO THE STREETS

Jeremy came home today so excited! He had a fellow co-worker at his job offer to help him with a sign. He said that he would bring it home the next day and he wanted to go stand on the street somewhere. I was a little shocked to be honest but I could see the love of a daddy start to grow. What else could he do to get he’s daughter home? Anything! So the next Saturday we went to the street and held up our big sign with Bella’s picture on it and smiled and waved. It was so hard at first, feeling silly and prideful. Surly it’s a easier way? Oh .....the Lord did not promise easy and comfortable-Just promised! We were nervous but after a little wait a few cars started pulling in and asking about her and putting dollars in our bucket. We got to share about her and about God’s love and plan for her life. We were there for hours and had so many stop or hand money to us at the red light. I felt as though we were getting the chance to be a light shining in the darkest. This was ministry!! He has given us a way to talk to strangers about him and what he has done and will continue to do. There’s nothing easier to talk about than a child in need. We were so blessed by all that he sent and each time we go we have to die to our flesh all over again, put him first and pray he honors us simply being obedient.
