Great start

We drove to Nashville today with hopes of seeing a friend battling leukemia. We were given a free place to stay and arrived around 5. It just so happened that our youngest started having a runny nose and we were around some sick friends over the weekend. That meant that our friend and his weakened, almost nonexistent white blood cells couldn't risk a visit from us. SO...we had to scratch the visit and start asking the Lord what His plan was for us in Nashville.
It didn't become clear until we arrived at our free place to stay. Right across the street was a park. Lots of people playing basketball, walking and the sound of a bass in the trunk of a car. The area of town is not the ghetto but isn't the suburbs! We headed over after dinner and started at the playground. Larry had a frisbee in the field and I started praying and picking up trash. The kids were great and after we were there for about an hour each of us stepped out and talked with people. Larry shared Christ with the kids he was playing with and I was able to pray with a lady who is 12 weeks pregnant and on bedrest because of bleeding. After Larry finished wither the frisbee group. We headed over to a girl, not a day over 15 and due with her first baby, that we met right when we got there. We asked if we could pray with her. She agreed and it was sweet. She was shy but appreciative. I am so encouraged tonight as I go to bed. Thanks for your prayers tomorrow we are headed out again.

Sounds like God is already using you... Praying your little one will get over the cold..and not share it with any of you.
Enjoying your blog,
