More Than A Dash

Hey all you people back in Michigan,
We are having so much fun up here. We got to go out one night and were given $2 and we had to live like we were homeless. It was a really big eye opener. I love going out to the soup kitchens, we get to help the cooks and we get to talk to the people who go there for food. I meet a really cool man named John at one of these kitchens, I talked to him for a long time and was really disappointed when he left. I felt like I could have said more to him or helped him more then what I had, I wished that I would took a bigger step out of my comfort zone to help him. This turned into a God moment. The next day I saw him on the street ( which was really rare because of all the people who live there, we were just in the right time at the right place) and after seeing him then I really thought about what steps I could take to go out of my comfort zone to help the next person I saw. Now it starts to get crazy, I saw him again the next day ( this morning ) and I got to put my thoughts into action. I have never seen someone with so little be so excited about God. It was truly amazing!

That's soooo awesome Shelby! Personal bubbles are highly over-rated anyway. ;-) Keep up the growth and I'm sure John can see your enthusiasm! Love!

It's amazing how God gives us chances to use what he's been teaching us! What a great testimony!
