People's Soul's Do Crave

So last night was the kick off night for the young adult life group held at the Overflow Warehouse (this is the back space behind our leased spot at the mall). We had some people in and out of the office that night, pretty typical, but then about 15 min. before we were to get started another person walked through the door with her bible in hand, a new face that I had not yet met.
She sat down at one of the high tops and began to tell her story about how God's has been drawing her for sometime and some of the events leading up to her coming to our Sunday morning celebration at the theatre. Basically that morning from the moment she walked into the theatre she "felt the presence" of God in her and she told us that she cried the entire service. It never ceases to amaze me how God works, that morning I was sharing on community life and how we are to be "Known by our love". God's timing is always perfect. She shared how that morning she didn't want to go but her mom insisted that she went with her, and she said that she was glad she did.
So last night was a great night overall, and it was amazing to see continually how God is working in the hearts and lives of people in St.Joe/Benton Harbor region and beyond, and how we conintue to "journey together, as we learn to passionately follow Jesus and joyfully serve others."
