I love our church! This morning was SO GOOD!
My friend Ami led worship which was incredible. I always love when she leads worship! And then we had a guest speaker: Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove. I really liked him. He was very honest and funny. I'd like to check out his book To Baghdad and Beyond. When the U.S. started bombing Iraq he went over there with his wife and had great experiences. Oh, and his website says that he recently wrote a book with Shane Claiborne. Huh. (His website is here)
I still need to read The Irresistible Revolution and Jesus for President by Shane Claiborne....
Well, I got to get to laundry and cleaning my room....I really don't want to though...
Hope you all have a great Sunday!! And, if you can, please say "Happy Birthday" to my little brother Isaac who's turning 12 today!!!
About Me
- Whitney
- I'm a 25 year old who loves to travel, serve and learn. I grew up and lived for 18 years in Italy where my parents were missionaries for 22 years. I lived for 2 years in Chicago where I completed a discipleship training school called Project 12 in the Jesus People USA Community (JPUSA) and worked for one of their homeless shelters. I then lived with my family in Portugal for a year teaching (1st, 6th, 7th grades and high school) at a small International Christian school.
I just completed my Bachelors of Arts in Education at Azusa Pacific University in California and I am in the process of becoming a missionary to China to work with children with disabilities and orphans and bring Christ's love to them.
-- How beautiful it is that God does not want to change the world without us. So often we ask God "Why don't you do something about injustice and poverty in the world?" and we can hear Him say back "I did do something, I made YOU" -- A quote I heard Shane Claiborne say once and which I find strongly inspirational.
