His story

It all started with a relatively simple prayer. Having revisited some of the teaching from Soul in the City 2004 that i manifestly failed to live out, i began to pray each day as i walk the the three miles to work , "God, take my tiny spec of a breath of a life and merge it into what you're doing today, into your eternal story"

Its only been a week but most days now I get stopped by people in need - it started last thursday when I was driving my car down to the garage to get a new windscreen. Its about 8 am and it is throwing down with rain - seriously crazy weather. Im trying to get out of my tight little road when a car grinds to a halt round the corner - now im late and very pushed for time but I can't not help this woman trying to push AND steer her car into a safe position in the pouring rain - especially when I have such a massive corporate umbrella right next to me. So I jump out and help the best I can, and she's really grateful.

Last tuesday I got stopped in the street for directions and was able to help on my walk to work. this morning I was able to direct a desperate looking young couple to the emergency dental hospital when they stopped me in the street.

So i guess my blog related thought is this: that God is just waiting for us to step into his stuff, to accept His invitation to be set free to serve Him. I'm going to keep praying this prayer and see what happens - maybe i'll get to meet some of these people again someday, and be able to do a little to show them that some people in this world consider serving others not to be menial but to be the most worthy and fitting response to all that they've received.

Peace y'all

Matt
