Can you believe that I have been in EPA for TWO weeks? Time just flies by and tomorrow I start TEACHING!!!Eeek! I'm SO nervous, excited, and hopeful. I know that I need to just be a godly teacher and let God take control. Alright moving on....
Today has been a HUGE blessing to say the least. Great preaching, I got to play TENNIS, and a free dinner from my boss :) But the biggest blessing today was going to "Mi Pueblo" our local grocery store in EPA and bumping into a homeless man. You can probably remember the last time I dealt with a homeless in EPA...and that wasn't the greatest but God definitely opened my eyes. If you need a reminder just read this blog http://marcovang.blogspot.com/2012/06/open-eyes.html.
Anyways I introduced myself and got to get to know him. I bought him a sandwich and for the first time I felt comfortable to speak to a stranger and show Gods love. What a blessing this was and a huge step up in faith. I don't normally speak to homeless and there are so many in Chicago that usually just want money, but I saw the sincerity of this man who was desperately seeking a meal for tonight.
I am so thankful for the people and things God has blessed me with. It's a blessing to see others work so comfortably with homeless and it makes me want to share Gods love just as comfortably with strangers I may bestow. Praise God for His love and mercy. He is SO good to me! :)
