Something about the name Jesus / 04.14.08, 04:00 PM
Yesterday was a sunday. I worked till one then took a nap. I went to the Boiler room and hung out with everyone. Sat in the sun with Brad, saw Marv and Steve come back from a bike ride, Sarah going to a healing service, Saw Brooke, Marie (who is fighting, but has a wonderful smile) and Chelsea. Proud of Joe, who filled out his FASFA probably faster than I would have ever done it, Roger mocking me about Monkey man, Jen and Tony taking a walk with the family, Chip popping up here and there…Don curious about what is going to be cooked. Dave, I see a brightness in him, its priceless.
I wasn’t going to go but though some encouragement-indirect-I did. I’m glad because this is my GR family, I want to see them and they encourage my spirit. Every person there. I was privileged to assist brooke in making food and it was really really good and I hope to do this more, as long as she is down with it. There was no corporate Worship or prayer at nine…its a sabbath and everyone together was enough. Simple, peace…It’s something I cant explain. I felt good to serve the residents here, almost giving back what they give to me.
Being here is something I cant simply explain, although its so simple in thought. God is here, in the movie us girls watched after eating, in the alley so many are still in, in the desire for these people to change in their eyes of hope. Even in the eyes of the hopeless, who come trying to figure out whats difference in the friends who are now sober.
In a realization of God…I don’t know how people see this and yet pass it by. I see this change in others, almost in myself and its unexplainable, it’s God.
