what has the Lord done today?

i've been encouraged over & over again to write what the Lord's doing on this journey, but i'm having a major dilemma: i don't know how to put this glory into words. God's love is coming in such unique ways -- he's knit hearts together in the strange situation of not having luggage for 4 days. everybody's "cool" fell off and people just started pressing in. (of course, these are radical worshippers. their hearts were stirred long before they came together for this summer of love tour, but the beauty of the last few days can not be expressed.) you get past a lot of issues when you rough it out with someone. you learn to laugh alot and grow in grace when you know you're stinky and there's nothing to be done about it. i have watched one hundred people CHOOSE to praise God in every circumstance.

and the people i am meeting are gold. too numerous to mention in the short time i have, i hope to have some time to tell a story or two on these sweet friends who have become instant family.

just a little update before i go: last night our group joined up with an interdenominational gathering -- a candle light vigil held at one of the largest abortion clinics in the world. misnamed "Women's Health" clinic, George Tiller has overseen over 65,000 abortions. it is said that he has prided himself in performing late term abortions. many statistics were shared last night. some came with large banners & raised voices. our group only raised our voices for one thing -- to pray. i mentioned George's name so that you would know to pray for his salvation. that the love of Jesus Christ would so radically change his life that he would see the effects that his life work has had on families everywhere.

tomorrow the cause will hold what is called a "silent siege" in front of this abortion clinic. we will come in love. we will not speak. we will in fact, place red tape over our mouths with the word LIFE written on it. and we will stand. most likely we will kneel as well. our purpose is to make a statement without using words or bringing condemnation. we will pray for the love of God to envelope every doctor, nurse, worker, mother, father & child who would be involved in the process of an abortion. and we will stand for life.


it really is this simple. we will give our time to share the love of God and stand for justice. be in prayer for our group if you have a chance.

our worship will also continue. i'll try to bring a synopsis of that later as well. both tonight & tomorrow night we will worship & intercede from 7pm until midnight.

bless you my friends.
love,
deborah
