The first night in Atlanta we went
out on the streets and just found people to pray for, give food/water to, and
we had a few blankets to give out. I was
really nervous at first because I didn’t know what I was going to say to anyone
and how accepting people were going to be of us wanting to talk to them. This experience was not what I expected it to
be. Most people just wanted to tell us
their story and the dreams they have.
After they told us about themselves they asked about what we were doing
and were impressed/pleased that we were out trying to make a difference. We learned about talking to others and began
learning about how our team is going to work together.
We have
been at a retreat center for the past two days.
This has been a time of healing, growth, and bonding. We have spent lots of time in worship, learning
about the power we have in us, the change that will be made because of us, and
who we are in Christ. From all of this,
I feel freed from the weights I have been carrying. I am at rest and peace that God is with me,
protecting me, and guiding me. I have
already learned so much already and I can’t wait to see what else God is going
to teach me in the next four months!
Blessing,
Sarah
