A man named Steve

We had to do something yesterday that was so completely out of my comfort zone. We went door to door. I was lucky to get paired with K, so that was wonderful. We knocked on a door that opened to a man named Steve who was incredibly lonely. He was really sad and suffered with clinical depression among other things. He needs prayer. K spoke the gospel into his life. He knows God, but told us that he was angry with him because he feels such sadness and lonelyness. I think that he actually got choked up like he was going to cry quite a few times. He was thankful that it was us who came knocking on his door. Oh my gosh it broke our hearts. K prayed over him and his life... he thinks that he is called by God to stay in the flat that he lives in and become a man of God to evangelize. Oh my gosh, seriously I never thought that getting over the "concrete shoes" would be so fruitful. It was amazing. I think that we could use this type of thing at home... just speaking into peoples lives. Meeting them where they are. It was so amazing. The Lord really blesses obediance to what we are called by Him to do. Even when we are reluctant. So, today I say

" Thank you Lord for blessing me with a wonderful friend who is such an example to me. Bless her Lord for the work she does. Thank you Father for showing us the way, and helping K to speak the gospel into a lonely mans life. Show Steve the way, Lord. Show him the positive side of life and help to lift him up so he can be a man of your ways.
Thank you for the time here Lord, this has changed my life truely.....
In Jesus name, Amen"

Peace and blessings to you today...

5 Days to go!

Things are going well in London. I will be happy to come home though really. I haven't been sleeping the best, but really well actually for being away from home. It was a concern before I left that I wouldn't be able to sleep while I was away. Feeling OK on that whole thing, and so proud of Ada because it was like the time change never happened for her! She sleeps longer then I do! She has some stuffiness though today so I am going to try and get a nose sucker to help her out. We go the the park (Hyde Park) today and SC. It is goig to be exciting. Last week when I experianced it, I was kind of new to this whole thing. Not that I am like well versed now, but it isn't going to be as intimidating as before. I am loving spending time with K. E is getting so big and reminds me of wy so much! He just takes all of this hussle and bussle in this city in stride. He is so amazing! And ADORABLE! He likes Adalai too which is really fun. Have to do with him what I have to do with Wy though, and remind him that he has to use gentle hands w/ the baby! He'll be a good big brother some day! Anyhoo, my mother in law got sick and has been having trouble breathing because of her asthma that I didn't know she had, so she is at the hospital now, but is in good hands with Uli, and German woman, and Peter who is also from Germany who talks like Arnold Schwartenger. Jeremy leaves today and he interviewed me on camera. It was super cool. I am going to miss him! He is really nice to the baby and likes to let her grip his hand. We have church this morning, then SC, then church again which our team is leading worship for. I am actually kind of intimidated by that now though because of Sherry being sick! Well I only have a few minutes left on the computer, so I need to go, but I am excited that there are 5 days left! With one off day in between, so K is taking us around to show us the sights. I think we are doing Trefalgers square and stuff. Not sure yet though. Anyhow, peace and blessings to you!
