Hugging the Post

Last night after lots of hugs, I put the Post back on a plane to Louisville. A group of eleven college age/20-somethings from Southeast Christian Church's Post ministry joined Mosaic this weekend in an attempt to reach out to our community.

They were a blessing to the thirsty 4th of July crowd in Columbia, MD as they handed out over 3,000 free waters and 1,500 packs of gum. They were a blessing to The Samaritan Women's House and its future residents as they left their fingerprint on the rehab of that work in progress. They were a blessing to Community Christian Church of White Marsh, MD as they served in the children's ministry for three services. They were a huge blessing to our Mosaic team as they helped us with many things that would have taken so much more time without them. But most of all, they were a blessing to me. I wonder if God sent them just to encourage me, and the other blessings were a bonus.

Someone asked me this weekend if I've had that "Oh no, what have I done?!" moment since I moved here. Without hesitation I was able to say nope. I remember daydreaming about a job that would allow me to go on every shortterm mission trip that caught my eye. This summer I have that job, I get to join every mission team from Mosaic, it's amazing!

I've never felt more at peace about where I am, than right now. I wonder if this is what the center of God's will feels like...

During the last hug at the airport, one of the guys said, "I'm a little jealous of you right now." You probably should be.
