Today was the first of several girl's ministry missions opportunities for this fall.
We loaded up 2 church vans and headed to downtown Birmingham to work at the Pathways Emergency Shelter.
I have to brag on these girls- they did an incredible job serving!
Some sorted an entire bathroom filled with trash bags of donated clothes. This was a huge help to the shelter and will be such a blessing to these women when they have clothes to choose from when the cold weather comes in.
Some loved on women by giving them a "spa" experience with a new polish on their nails and some great time to talk with these women and hear their stories.The one-on-one conversations made the women feel special and loved.
Some of them painted canvases and chose scripture for the women to display in their rooms and take with them when they leave the shelter. We pray that these canvases and scripture will encourage these women to hide God's word in their hearts!
Our girls had homework to take care of, naps calling their names, and other choices to list of Sunday afternoon activities.
They chose to serve and be the hands and feet of Jesus.
The many ways that these girls bless me and point me to Jesus every day is overwhelming.
I pray that I have the same heart to serve the Lord as they do.
