Those 2 questions are HUGE. I wonder about those 2 questions quite often. I know that I was placed here at Grace for many reasons. I found that people here at Grace accept me even with all of my faults. I love the kids at Grace and want for them what I didn't have as a young kid. My family stopped going to church when I was 5 years old so I didn't have the church environment/influence to help me navigate through my crazy teen years. I hope I can be here for these kids to come to and feel comfortable enough to ask me questions or even just listen to what they have to say. Thankfully my Mother was there for me to talk to and almost every problem or concern I brought before her she would tell me to pray about it or even stop what she was doing and say a pray for me if I didn't know what to say. I find myself still practicing that with every decision, problem, or concern I pray and let God take over those areas. Sometimes I still try and find a way by myself but I always end up giving it back to God and saying "alright you're right please help me again" I guess what it all comes down to is whatever the answer is to those questions are for me, I'm open to it. God is good and he knows whats best for me and I shouldn't resist it. I'm just going to follow God's lead and pray often. Thank you God for who you are and what you do!

Here is our old word "phaneroo" again. The Holy Spirit showing up in your life and my life is a gigantic display of God at work. What part of the body are you? How will that be MANIFESTED in 2008?

Here is our old word “phaneroo” again. The Holy Spirit showing up in your life and my life is a gigantic display of God at work.

What part of the body are you?
How will that be MANIFESTED in 2008?
