Keep Loving Well ...




Last week I had such a heart softening experience while attending a little mini concert performed by my new friend Kate White, (a gifted singer, song writer, violinist) at a local drug rehab shelter in my neighborhood. I was also there with my good friends & NieuCommunties team mates Laurie & Brittany. As Kate shared her music and her personal story she let these women know in such a beautiful and heartfelt way that they can make it through this time of struggle and that there is a God that loves and cares about them and with Him they can find endurance, hope and peace.

And because of this, an amazing event occurred in a little 300 sf foot room in Golden Hill. I can't possibly communicate to you the unforgettable and inspiring evening that it was. At the end of the concert, we were about to say our goodbyes when one woman asked Kate a question; "How can I be saved?" and within 15 seconds a circle formed of about 30 women who all wanted to give their lives to God. It was of the most spectacular things I've ever witnessed.

So after a prayer that these women so enthusiastically shouted we ended up staying a while to hear their stories and pray individually. There were lots of hugs and tears, and I was humbled and felt like God was letting us all have a peek into what He is already doing in this little corner of the world. A world that I knew nothing about. So now that I know, I have a responsibility to care.

So with this on my mind, I came across this song from the 90's by Tears for Fears and love the words that even include reflection on what's going on with the struggles that most of us have right now regarding our government & the economy. This song reminded me that what we are all required by God to do, even now in these uncertain times, is to keep sowing the seeds of love.

Wow...it's here, the work of the holy spirt in the endtime street ministry. I attended a struggling new church on Sunday that ministers in the middle of the ghetto and barrio, a huge community of great need. Thanks for sharing this story, what a great witness of our gifts and talents. You talking to me, girl.
