This weekend many of us from URBN (http://www.sojournurbanexperience.com/)got a visit from some old friends. I'm the kind of person that knows a lot of people but is only close with a handful of those people and those friendships are something that I cherish. I believe that God brings people into our lives for a reason, a season, and a lifetime. For me, seeing old friends is always such a blessing and makes me so excited that I'm like a little kid who is going to Disney for the first time.
The friends that came into town this weekend are people that God allowed me to grow with both personally and spiritually. We had all been called to ministry in Belo Horizonte, Brasil two summers ago and this would be the first time since then that we had all been able to see each other together. It was so good to see and hear what God has been and is doing in each person's life. He called us all to be together for a season and is continuing to use each and every one of us to do His work. I guess that really shouldn't be of any surprise if we are being obedient to His word. I believe I can speak for each of us when I say that the summer would have been very different had one of us not been there and that God used each person on our team that summer to show and teach us something about ourselves and something about Him and the two together. Looking at where God has us now, I sit in amazement and awe of God's power and beauty. Two of the girls are finishing up school and are leading other girls on their campus and another has taken a position on Campus Outreach staff and is leading girls at the campus she used to attend, and I am here. God is too good to us. None of us deserve to be where we are, but because God is a gracious God we can be.
To God be the Glory!
