My time in Seattle has been largely unproductive. One thing that has happened is the LORD has introduced me to some young brothers in Jesus. I have been encourageing them and trying to give them the freedom in Christ Jesus that is available. Everyday is a battle. I have to keep reminding myself that I am not a citizen of this world, but a citizen of heaven. Today I was reading my Bible on a stairway on 1st St. when a Spanish guy came up to me and asked me if I had a Spanish Bible, I did. You could see the look of amazement on his face. I gave him a cool pocket edition of the NIV in Spanish I picked up on my really bad night, when I was broke, and had to overdraw my account. Praise God! The LORD in His glorious wisdom allowed me to pick up this Bible from the Nightwatch place that could not find me a bed. How insignificant my inconvenience and trial when I could give this brother a Bible. Praise Jesus, He is all knowing and faithful.
It is raining , again, today in Seattle. I truly hate this place. I have been making friends with the homeless population and have been doing some ministering, but not the bang up revival preaching I thought that was going to happen. I have been selling Real Change newspapers to have enough money for my bed at the shelter. Saying you are trusting God and trusting God are two different walks. Blessing people when you are hanging from the cross, is all God. Praise Jesus! May He use me and mold me in His image. The eternal weight of glory is my reward. He who calls me is faithful.
Tommorow is Fathers Day I am trusting God I will have enough money to call my son David. I miss him much and really want to go back to Boston and be with him and my family. I am truly a slave to Christ Jesus and whatever He has I what I have, but I hope going to Boston is in the plan.
