| I woke up today feeling like I need to pray more. Ive been put in a number of situations lately where I feel God wants me to speak into it. And it's constant. And it's people. And I love them. So I want the best for them.
I see deeper issues in their hearts that make them the way they are. And I feel words will only go so far.
So this is God prompting me to pray more. To pray first. To bathe the situation in prayer. To do battle in the supernatural if I want to see breakthrough in the natural.
God, I'll do it.

| i like this story from Jaeson's blog:
After hanging out with the homeless for the afternoon, we all prayed and went to eat lunch at a local Mexican joint. It was good food and fellowship. Lee the leader of this homeless ministry in Oakland told us one of the many miracle stories from ministering to the homeless. He said, "This past thanksgiving we fed over 400 homeless a full Thanksgiving meal. I heard Papa say, "Only the best for My children!" So, we bought over 25 big turkeys, cooked up mash potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce and we had 25 pumpkin pies. But on the way to the park, I heard Papa tell me, "Go back and buy whip cream for them!" I told Papa, "I'm not going back to the super market I'm already on my way, the best I can do is buy what they have at 7-11 it's on the way!" So at 7-11 Lee bought only 4 cans of "cool whip" thinking others might bring some more. When he got to the park, no one else had brought cool whip but him. They only had 4 cans of cool whip for 25 pies. Lee told the volunteers, "Once the 4 cans of cool whip are used, that's it, no one gets anymore!" After 4 pies, 3 cans were already used up. But for some miraculous reason, the 4th can of "Cool Whip" never stopped giving whip cream! He told us, "Everyone was shocked, we just kept scooping from this one can of cool whip the same normal scoops and every time we looked in the can there was more cool whip!" He said, the 13 year old who was scooping from the can shouted to her mother, "Mom, I just read how Jesus fed the 5,000
with 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish, but NOW I SEE IT WITH MY OWN EYES!" WOW! I could only praise God when I heard this miracle story, not only because it was an amazing miracle, but because even our PAPA in heaven cares that every one of His children gets COOL WHIP on their pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving!
We all need to count our blessings. We all need to remember that we are blessed to be a blessing. Let us give to others in need, help those who can't help themselves or those who need encouragement to get back on their two feet. Let us be Jesus hands and feet to a world that needs to know the Love of God for real.

It's all about the little things.

Lately I've been thinking a lot about Social Enterprise/Social Business. About how people can do good with the money they spend...I mean if we're gonna buy that jacket, cool pair of jeans, or sneakers...can't it do double the work of benefiting us and others. I believe the thinking behind this is that people will spend (that's just the way it is), so instead of trying to change people change where the money goes or who it goes to; change how the profit is used, etc.
I'm currently reading Creating a World Without Poverty by Muhammad Yunus.
He states Social Business as:
"It's a business designed to meet a social goal. A social business is a business that pays no dividends. It sells products at prices that make it self sustaining. The owners of the company can get back the amount they've invested in the company over a period of time, but no profit is paid to investors in the form of dividends. Instead, any profit made stays in the business–to finance expansion, to create new products or services, and to do more good for the world."
Isn't that exciting!? It's such backwards thinking in this for profit world! I love it.
