We have unpacked the last
box. We are officially moved in and
unless a natural disaster happens we will not be moving for a long time. Every day our tiny little apartment feels
more like home. We will not mention that
every nook and cranny has something shoved into it. Open all closet doors with caution as items
may have shifted during the “shoving in” stage.
Sometimes you just have to take a blow to the head for the sake of the
Gospel.
I am starting to learn my way
around the city. Siri has long abandoned
me and has led me astray more than once. She is absolutely no help and I am starting to believe she enjoys flustering
me with her insistent “I can’t take any requests right now.” speech. This has led to hours of aimlessly driving
through the city. I now know the city
pretty well and have found some pretty nifty spots. The biggest surprise was the library. It is massive. It has three floors and is just absolutely
beautiful. What is even more surprising
is not only the amount of books but the number of homeless people who congregate
in it. Libraries are not the first place
that pops into my head when I think of homeless people. This
is the first library that I have been to that is located in a downtown area. It makes sense that the homeless would congregate
there. It is free and warm.
Things we need prayer for:
·
God would raise
up people for Redemption Hill
·
God would give us
divine appointments with the lost
·
God would nurture
and develop the friendships we have already made.
·
God would protect
us spiritually, physically, emotionally, and financially
·
God would protect
our vehicles
·
God would prepare
the hearts of those we will encounter
·
Pray for our
neighbors.
In Christ,
Amber
