$10

"I finally found a life worth living for. It's not mine, it's Yours." - Daniel Bashta

Last Monday when I was meeting with K and A for discipleship, I brought K her copy of Forgotten God by Francis Chan. We read Crazy Love last semester and decided to read Forgotten God while studying the book of Acts this semester. Focus: the Holy Spirit. I brought her the book and she gave me $10 for it. I mentioned that I felt funny about putting the cash in my Bible case. (I didn't have my pursue with me). She said, "Aw it's okay, it can just be your offering next week."

I ran into a 'friend on the street,' Michael, this morning on my way into church. Michael and his wife are homeless in Athens. There's a really long story about my conversation with Michael and his wife. I can't do justice to the blessing I received by talking with him and hearing his story and receiving his teachings while we sat in the lobby of Redeemer Presbyterian (while the rest of the congregation was in the sanctuary). So I'm not going to write all that. Almost two hours after we started talking, it was time for church to be let out. He asked me if I wanted to bless the Lord. I knew in that moment that my $10 in my Bible that was for this week's offering was absolutely for Michael and his wife. I told him, "Yeah, God had our meeting in mind last week. This is my offering to Him, to you. Be blessed."

Freedom is falling.

A present thought about the ever-nearing future.
