oh the drama!

As I type this, there is a bomb in a bank vault a block away from the Bellerive Apartments where we spent the afternoon with Hope City. While the drama wasn't evident to us at the time, we had our own drama going on inside of a much happier kind.

Tuesday is the day we go to pray FOR the city IN the city. We were small in number today, but the Spirit was moving. We've been praying alot lately for God to break in to the city and see the addicted set free. We pray about seeing the churches rise up and hearing the cry of the poor. Today i looked around the room and this is what I saw:

A woman who has been drug free for 16 + years

A woman who has been alcohol free for 8 months

A woman who has been drug free and alcohol free for 3 DAYS (after 25 years of drug use!)

A man who's heart has been radically saved and changed and is "working it out" in his current situation of marriage/divorce/girlfriend

A woman who's history includes abortion, adultery, and theft

and me... broken and messed up in my own ways

and all of us were crying out for the transformation of God and His redemption in the city. Why?

Because we all have seen it in our own lives. Transformation and redemption from all the drama of life! YAY GOD!

Anyway, there is still lots of drama on the street and we are waiting to hear if the bomb threat is real, or how it works out... I'll keep you posted!
