there's a God who u can trust...comfort you and lift you up..na na na na na na na

so mabbe you're wondering why i havent mentioned anything abt my encounters with Atlanta. well.. for starters there's lots to tell. so if you'd like to hear, just ask, i'm be more than happy to tell. three words, God is awesome. So he gives us love, courage, grace, joy, peace......................unconditionally. wow. cant soak it all up. In atlanta we traveled on a train (marta) and prayer evangelized. through prayer it just feels like you have a deeper connection with the stranger you're praying for and with God. Also got a chance to go to a place called Little Five Points, and met a guy named Wayne. He hadnt eaten in 2 days, and had been living off some mouth wash. we bought him something to eat and drink and we got to chatting. He's an alcoholic and had fallen for that trap four times already, and it just seemed that he didnt ahve any hope to get back up again, but he wanted us to pray about that. Then he also told us that God was the reason he had the courage to live each day. In that case i asked him doesnt he believe God can pick him up from his current lifestyle? Cuz i know he can. And he thinks so too, but he didnt want to let Him down. so yea, definitely gonna continue praying for him. For our final day of ministry in atlanta we did what was called an Ask The Lord (ATL...which also stands for atlanta... kewl huh?). What we did was pray and ask the Lord where he wanted us at work that day. I thought i felt God calling me to the hospital after our second prayer and so i went to the hospital and had my "fast food encounters" which you can ask me about, but would take a while to type. some of you already kno about it cuz i was the few that got to share my God moment at debriefing. =P

the best part about coming home is knowing that it's not over. Everything (besides the marta mabbe) we can do here in Houston. Everyday is a new opportunity to minister to people. Through Atlanta, i've really been reminded that God exceeds all expectations. heck.. wudnt it be boring if we knew what God had in store? Im always wow-ed by God's power and the best part is.... i know i'm not done wow-ing yet.

i stand amazed
