Ok, I know I just finished a blog, but I just keep getting in conversations and hearing stories and seeing things here that could fill up books. The stories of what is happening here, the things God is doing and the like... are just amazing..
My young people's lives are changing -- choosing to take gunshots to the legs, instead of the heads -- then, having their lives changed by the Spirit of God and having their once gang infested, in and out of prison lives, turned around and they are telling their stories to their peers and things are changing.. Seeing a guy I used to know at the Lighthouse, in and out of hospital all the time from overdosing, constantly on heroine, never knowing if you would see him dead or alive -- and I saw him yesterday, and the story of hope here is that he is very much alive and still going. Seeing little girls who used to be babies, now coming to clubs, experiencing love and Jesus, which they will see no where else.. Seeing the food continue on and on at the Lighthouse, as much is needed, til all are fed, and seeing God provide.. Hearing of the girl who use to assault me and the boys that use to threaten me, going on mission trips and having their lives changed by Jesus.. Running into ppl that I don't even remember, saying to me, oh wow, you're back, you sure made your mark here for sure, it's great to have ya.. Girls who I met one time who I got to see again, hug me like there is no tmrw beggin' me not to go, tellin' me they still had their wee notebooks I have given them like almost 3 years ago!!! It's been a insane.. God is so good.. and still so very at work here!!!
