Jesus loves the little children
So I have been in Dallas for almost a month. I have been experiencing what children's ministry is like. I had no idea what teaching children involved or how I could actually be affected by them. Some are lovable, some are hard to get along with; but all of them are loved by Jesus and I have never spent so much time talking about Christ. I see these beautiful children in these hard situations. They know nothing different. I feel deep down how important it is to use any and all influence I seem to have to direct them toward Jesus. My team has been amazing. Some days are really hard because while I am doing awesome ministry, God is always ministering to me and dealing with me. I still have tons of issues. I love God so much because I have seen Him do crazy awesome things while we have been here.
We have prayed over, in, and around the city of Dallas. We even went into the city hall. We have prayed for the leaders, pastors, queers, and gangs. I have fallen in love with this city. It's the oddest love I have ever felt because I can't see it, I only feel it. This city is not beautiful to me right now. Some of the places don't interest me, but I know God has me here at this moment for a reason.
I have been praying a lot to see people through God's eyes. He has really blessed me with this ability. I have wept because I could truly see and feel the love God has for people. Maybe they weren't anywhere near our standards of beauty, maybe they were awkward; but God gave me what I had prayed for and I am so glad that He did.
Also today the team went and walked around praying in Oak Lawn. This is the "gay community" part of town. I have had a burning desire to go there for one year because I have embraced my testimony of being an ex-trans identified person. I know God answered that too. We prayed awesome things and know that God answers.
Well this weekend the single gals are all going on a retreat for the young girls. We will be way out in the country where we will be stargazing, playing, swimming and sitting by the campfire. Please pray for these young girls. Some or most are in desperate situations and how wonderful is it when Jesus meets our needs... God bless!
