The Underground

Down in the tunnels of the subway you will find the wealthiest to the poorest. Often times in these city subways the downtrodden of the world find themselves there trying to get by day by day. Jesus speaks to us about, and models the behavior of interacting with our abandoned, sick, poor, and oppressed.

This past week I (Jodie) had the wonderful privilege of being a sponsor for our youth at camp. The focus of the week was how we should be seeking the "abandoned". I know that we have all had moments in our lives when we have felt like everyone in the world is against us, or days when we have felt like no one cared. I'm sure you can think through times in your life when you have felt abandoned or alone. The truth is that we are NEVER abandoned. God is available to us if we call on His name and trust in who He says He is...THOSE WHO KNOW YOUR NAME TRUST IN YOU BECAUSE YOU HAVE NOT ABANDONED THOSE WHO SEEK YOU, LORD.--PSALM9:10 (Lifeway devotional)

Meanwhile while I am enjoying the sun in the south. My most AMAZING husband took vacation so that I could minister to the teens for a week. The kids thoroughly enjoyed having him for five days to themselves. It was great bonding for them!
