N-Street Village

Well, today proved to be another interesting day. Full of theological conversations and wrestling with thoughts that I didn't even know existed. Here's a quick run down of my day: went to n-street village ministry (I'll explain later), visited the White House, ate pizza and had deep conversations, took a quick nap, got misled on the University of Maryland, had more discussions.. and eventually sleep!! N-Street Village Ministry is a ministry for only women designed to get them off the streets, away from addictions, if they have any, and to provide housing and community for those who can't. http://www.nstreetvillage.org/
Today really challenged my thought process. Everyone doesn't think like I do. I have known this, but sometimes I still expect it, or have an underlying presupposition. So, I have been dealing with how different people view sin, what does ministry mean, what is the Gospel and good news? What does incomplete mean (biblical and theological).
We as people cannot save others... we leave that up to the Holy Spirit and the grace of God. So we need to stop thinking that God needs us. He doesn't. We just can be used by him to do his work.
Right now... all my thoughts and ideas are racing around in my head, not making a whole lot of sense.. so I will work on organizing these and see if I can get it down on paper (or a computer screen)
God is love... how do we show that love in the way people need it most?
