Back Pack Outreach – Change O Plans…
September 9, 2009
Everything is still happening for the backpack outreach, we just decided to host it at the church we meet in, instead of Blair Park. The city continued to mess up the request forms, so thankfully we were offered the church as a venue. We are so blessed to have so many coming up on Friday to go door-to-door inviting families out for the event and then staying the night to join others and help out on Saturday.
The church address is 937 26th St. San Bernardino (don’t know the zip). Set up is 8am and it starts @ 10. If you can’t come, please be praying to the neighborhood will be blessed and see God’s love. So there are plenty of other requests, but I’ll let God direct you as you pray for the day.
On personal note, Mondo got a part-time job today. While it’s on an on-call basis, we’re praying either for another part-time position or that they’ll end up calling often. This has been our biggest trial so far. We can say without a doubt that God has called us here, yet it has been a daily struggle to trust Him for provision. Mondo has searched high and low for work, but like every other person out there, work is scarce.
Church service was so sweet tonight and the fellowship just gets better. I love seeing everyone get in groups after the service to open up and share their struggles. I love how God uses our transparencies and failures to encourage one another. He redeems even our muck!
I’ve been so stretched teaching the kids; something I’ve never pictured myself doing. We’ve been learning the 10 commandments and it’s been so wonderful seeing them remember then from week-to-week. My four year old insists on learning the commandments like the bigger kids do. So randomly he would come up to me during the week, regardless of where we were, and blurt out “Hey Mom! Don’t commit adultery.” A little embarrassing, but at least he’s remembering them.
