Coffee Talk with Christie

it truly was an amazing success - after everything was said and done, i think that "most" were on location on time and worked diligently to show love to their neighbors in charlotte.

i have received a lot of very positive feedback, for which i am most grateful.

God was in this project from the start - christie breaks into song, "who am I that the Lord of all the earth, would care to know my name... la la la" (shameless plug for Casting Crowns) - this was a God thing!

i am thankful that i was a part of putting close to 1,500 students and adult volunteers on the streets, in the parks, in the homeless shelters, at classroom central warehouse and at second harvest warehouse in charlotte to show the city that we love them.

that day, we put our words into action by serving them at their greatest need.

another shameless plug - danny rivers rocked my safe comfy little world with his highly influencial message on friday afternoon of nayc. his site is www.bethechurch.cc i have visited this site several times since last friday and it has already impressed me tremendously.

after listening to his message, in my car - (i was so busy on friday, the 10th that i didn't make it to the service...) - after listening to this message i just wanted to GO do something, anything, just get out there and be the church!

to which, i have written a letter, i know, that does not sound like much, a letter? BUT, this letter is to my next door neighbor, i noticed that she has recently had a ramp built in front of her home, for wheelchair access - i didn't want to startle her by going over and knocking on her door, so i have written a note to ask her if i could come and sit down with her to just spend time with her, do her grocery shopping, anything i can do to serve my neighbor, i will do. i know this sounds like a small task - but it is about being the church - meeting people at their need - that's what my friend, Jesus, did.

christie breaks out into song again.... "to be like Jesus, to be like Jesus, on earth i want to be like Him, all through life's journey, from earth to glory... la la la

i will write more about p2239 soon - this is going to be an epidemic, just let me tell you that right now - p2239 will live forever in mine and dan's lives - pray with us that God will have His way in everything we do - i am dreaming REALLY BIG right now!
