Be Willing, Be Available, Be Real

It keeps on surprising me, even tho in my head I expect it, that God can, and will, use me in a very significant way in the life of people. A few weeks ago, I met with a friend for breakfast, but as I was waiting for my friend, the phone rang. "I need to talk before we enter into the diner". As I waited for her, I sensed that God was saying to me "Be Real, be tender with her heart". We met outside, started to walk and ended up sitting on a bench on main street. She poured her heart out to me about some things that she was dealing with, thinking about, questioning. One of the things that came to mind to share with her was "We live in a small part of a much larger story, God's story. We see our part, God see's all parts" After some time of conversation, we went and had a quick breakfast, then we each went our way for the day. As I headed to work, I was thinking about what I had said, did it make sense to her?, Did I do what God had asked me to? Later feed back would indicate that God had indeed shown up and shown His grace and love to her.

Bottom line is, through God's Spirit, I was willing, available, and I shared myself with her. God is so good! I hope I can continue to be sensitive to God's leading.

After The Hearts of Men

WOW!  That's what I can say about this past "Wild at Heart" weekend. Our TP of CNY team blended very well with the True Pursuit team from Michigan, and God showed up. We worked along side each other and watched as God began His work in the lives of 40 plus men that were there. Some of them were "met" by God in very significant ways. Between the personal action of the Holy Spirit in their hearts, the shooting event, (of which about half of these men had never shot a gun before), and the high ropes course, we witness'd amazing things happening. A lot of the conversations and comments were very personal, which is hard for men to get to that level and share so openly. Altho I was "working" the event, God spoke to me as well. I truly feel that this "Wild at Heart" weekend was the fulfillment, and start, of one of the visions God has given me personally. I am very excited as I move in the directions that God has called me to, and very blessed and proud to do it with some guys that I truly respect and admire.
