Din-din
The Lord is providing in amazing ways! I think I might actually reach my goal at the end of this month or get really really close! Praise God...He really is blessing me with beyond anything I could have asked or imagine. It's been so encouraging to see the body of Christ in action working together to meet the needs of an individual like myself, and see their heart for missions.
Today was an awesome day. I had an impromptu meeting with someone from my church, who decided to be a partner with me in ministry and had a great time sharing with her. And tonight I had the opportunity to meet with a brother, Tom Weingard, who is a friend of a friend of mine that I knew back in Tulane my freshman year.
We had dinner at a nice, hole-in-the-wall Italian place and talked a lot about my relationship with my mother and guy struggles. It was encouraging sharing my burdens with him and hearing his encouragement and getting to pray with him afterwards as well.
During my conversation with him, I recall saying something like, "Dysfunction is not normal. It's not something God desires for us," in reference to the shortcomings of my family relationships. Tom agreed with me and spurred me on to have faith that God can do it and will heal our wounds in due time.
After we ate, we prayed together in his apartment before we went our separate ways and we both prayed for prayers of courage for each other, among other prayer items. It was so cool seeing how God has been working in Tom's life and mine after the short time we've gotten to know each other. It was really encouraging for me to have him as a new ministry partner as well!
Praise the Lord for divine apointments. I normally wouldn't describe an appointment like the one I had with Tom as such but I sensed God's Spirit with us and He promises that when two or more are gathered in His Name, so I thank Him for that and recognize that whenever the Lord's presence is there, whether in a big or subtler way, He's there. And He's divine. Praise Him. Night y'all!!
