The Lord is Gracious and Compassionate.
I can't believe it's been...4 YEARS since my last posting.
Wow, where to start. I am still with the same organization Union Gospel Mission :)
Relationships with clients have come and gone . But most have grown deeper. I have been here for the past 7 years and haven't had 2 days the same! I guess that's to be expected when you work with brokenness. I honestly don't know whose taught who the most. Me or them. Perhaps a lot of both ;)
I have witnessed a lot over the past 7 years. Lives changed, lives shattered , lives wasted and lives expired.
Through it all I have been open to listening to God directing and teaching me how to walk through it all. I have fallen in love with the people who come through the doors here. There are days when my heart is just simply broken for the broken. And some days when I just want to shake people and tell them to get their lives together!!! Those are the days I go for a walk around the block. For it wasn't that long ago that my life and my attitude was that of destitute. I was just as broken, lost , confused and pissed off at God as some of our folks. This is when the grace of God comes in reeeeeaaaaaally handy. I have been able to turn those hurts into some pretty good messages though. Its my way of telling Satan that he can stuff it! My God is a big God!!!
I am going to keep this short because I believe by doing so I will be more inclined to add to this blog of mine on a weekly, if not daily basis.
Until then remember this....Our God is gracious and compassionate. Slow to anger, and quick to love!!
Blessings,
Andrea
