"how do I get found?"


2 of fmy 25 credits i'm taking this semester consist of CCS...christian community service.
my CCS is going to Southwest Juvenille Hall every tuesday night.
last night was the beginning.
last night was a miracle.
I was incredible unprepared for what the Lord was going to do.
kate, elisa and I walk into Unit 4...the girls unit and after 5 minutes were sent to Unit 3, the boys unit. wow- my heart kind of dropped. I prayed the Lord would close their eyes to anything "girly" about us and that all they would see is Christ.
We all shared bits and pieces of our testimonies and the Lord spoke. Our words were nothing, the Spirit moved us by the Almighty's power. The Lord spoke and two young men were saved from eternal damnation last night! Praise the Lord? Yes, praise Him forever.
One of the boys said, " These girls said that the Lord found them...what does that mean? How do I get found? Does this mean I'm lost?"
Kevin explained this to him and He was set free from his chains of sin, Francisco accepted the Lord last night.
Shouldn't we all always be saying that...how do I get found? sometimes it's easy to feel lost. in their innocence of eternity I found how precious it is to be a babe in Christ. The need for answers. It's not always bad to be a skeptic.
We look for revivial. we look for something to keep us going. but we never look to go to the lowest places on this earth to find it.
The Lord brought our hearts to selflessness and He used us. Something for myself that I didn't think was possible.
In my situation I feel like I can't be used...ever. I am weak and powerless. But all to often I forget that it's not me that I'm living for anymore.
I live for Jesus, and in Him is my strength.
So, I really don't know who's going to be reading this. But just an update...on my life. The Lord is working mightily, and He is continually teaching me.

* Please pray for Quinten and Francisco who accepted the Lord Jesus as their Savior last night.
* Also for Jorge who was released last night at midnight, that his walk would be steady. He says he will come to campus church on sunday, pray that it happens.
* Also, for our Tuesday night team...Kevin,Ben,Jake,Kate,Elisa and I.
