An Answer To Prayer

So, some of you know that I have been praying for God to present Himself to me in an opportunity to volunteer. Well, last night I went to a Men's Bible Study, for the first time in "ages and ages; a really, really, really long time" (Mugatu played by Will Farrell in Zoolander). As the leader was getting ready to introduce the guest speaker, he first had some one come up who is a project coordinator for an organization called San Diego Fire Relief. Ding, Ding, Ding! It was like an alarm went off in my head and heart. It's amazing how God puts things on your heart, and requires obedience before he grants those things to you. Roughly only 10% of the homes that were destroyed in San Diego 14 months ago have been rebuilt. That means that there are still 90% of the affected households that are "displaced". All I'm volunteering to do is go cut some branches, clear some bushes, and maybe hang some fence. If anyone wants to join me, it would be an awesome way of giving of yourself and your time!

Remember our Mountain View bible studies! Nothing like some beer and the bible to make your Wednesday night a little better. ;)

Donny, I think it's great! Go for it!

And yes, God does want obedience. And then He blesses our socks off!
