Good Things Happening

God is soooo good to me!! Of course, I could stop right there...but I won't.
God has given me a gift of teaching. God has also given me a love of sign language. NOW, He has combined them to allow me to teach sign classes to homescholars.

Next week, when my precious kiddos track back into school, I will begin my next class. How often do people get to do what they love, and make a little cashola for doing it? God knows I needed a job, and now He is providing me with one in which I can make my own schedule, so I can be there for my kids when they are tracked out of year round school. Now, that is love!!

I get that song in my head: OH, how He loves us so. Oh, how He loves us....how He loves us so!!! (David Crowder Band, fyi)

So, I know my Father loves me, cause He blesses my socks off!! How has God blessed your socks off? Go think about that......

Sorry it has been a while. Lots of things have been happening, of which I will post later.

But, for now, God has been stirring me up in the area of outreach. I am talking about right in my own town outreach. I am the director of my local church Sign Language Choir and God told me we need to focus on churches this year. He said that "the church" has become complacent, and He wants to stir us up. I pray He uses us to do that.

Then, we had a guest speaker two weeks ago. He ministers out west to native Americans. He told us that for three days, they give away clothes, shoes, and food to meet the needs of these people. Then, they give a concert, THEN they tell them about Jesus. He said they have to earn the right to share the Gospel. Than just affirmed what was already in my Spirit.

Our Pastor said he wanted to focus on outreach. I'm all for that. One of my buddies gave me some ideas for church outreach, and God gave me more. I am in the process of sending the ideas to my Pastor.

Needless to say, if God is really putting this on my heart, how many others in my church is He doing the same thing?

So, talk is cheap. That is my point. People don't care how much you know, until they know how much you care. Sound trite? Oh, well. Truth hurts. No one wants to know how much Jesus loves them, if the ambassadors of Him don't care. Jesus was always in the middle of the scruff, feeding and healing, and loving.

That should be our shining example. Who can you minister in your community? Are you afraid? Then do it afraid. Go think about that.....
