Love on each other

Livejournal was kinda for high school, and yea... college too. But I think I want to switch to this now that I'm graduating. LJ is kinda exclusive, especially since I made all my posts friends only. But everyone can read this. And maybe I can use it for ministry. =)

God's been using me to bring comfort to people who really need it. I'm glad I got to go out for coffee with Alex last night and just be someone to listen and care about her in the bad situation she's in at MIAD. I could tell it was such a relief to her heart that she could talk to someone who listen with concern. She deserves that.

People, we need to listen to each other and love on each other. People are hurting out there. Just providing that basic support can do so much good. And offering love in the face of pain is such a blessing. God gives it to me so abundantly, and He desires me to give it freely too.

I heard about a Parish in Oak Park--St. Giles--in Illinois that needs a new Youth Minister. I called up Anne (current Youth Minister) and left a message. She's out of town, but she'll soon get back to me. Their websight shows that the youth ministry is pretty cool; they do a lot of service and fun things, with peer ministry too. It's in a close suburb to Chicago (good location for me!) and I could really see myself setting up there. I've been getting really excited, kinda picturing myself there, but I know these are all my plans and I'm waiting on the Lord's provision of His plans for my life. I'm so excited to see what those are going to be, and if He has a place for me at St. Giles, then I am ready to go there for His name and His kingdom.
