country's barbecue

Making you hungry?? :)

Today i went to pick up lunch for my mom and I from country's while on my lunch break. I left my office and headed that way to find that i had to sit in line for 30 minutes. i am not a very patient person.. so i picked up my bible that was in my passenger seat and began to read the second chapter of proverbs.

I read about being obedient and listening to god's love and hiding his word in my heart, so i may live a long and faithful life to him.. and it made me begin to think..

yeah, we've been struggling lately- but we are so blessed. i sat in an air conditioned car-- ate a yummy, warm meal and had somewhere to go to eat. i was sitting at the stop light and saw a homeless man digging in the trash looking for lunch.... i was SO close to giving my lunch to him, BUT i didn't. i now know i should have!! i should've been more obedient to the holy spirit and blessed this man. but i guess this is just another way god has shown me to not be so arrogant. to not take advantage of what i have.. to be THANKFUL for a home.. for a car.. for air conditioning and a place to sleep at night..

i'm not sure why, but homeless people have been on my heart so much this week. i need to get a group together and get things from a shelter and give them to the homeless. sure, this man could've gone to the salvation army for help or something but he is an example or maybe a depiction of why i should give- why i should care and why i should not be afraid to step out..

i'm not holding back anymore. god's love and kingdom is too big for my selfish thoughts and excuses.. the time is now- and it's running out... more and more each day.
