POO at the front door

Today we had the privilege of coming to work and having dog poo out the front of our place. Looking at the mess it made it would of been stepped in by a few different people. Bev and our new councillor Stephen had the privilege of cleaning this mess up.

It made me think about how Life can get so busy that the last thing we think about at the end of the day is GOD. Everything we do we need to focus on God. In ministry we need to dedicate each day to God and thank God for the blessing which come our way daily. Ministry is also about servant hood (cleaning poo out the front door ;-).

We can have so much clutter going on in our lives that we grow apart from God, and forget to spend time listening to what God has to say. I have been challenged in recent days to spend time just BEING. I do this by just being quiet and centreing my mind to focus on what God has to say.

My prayer for you is that you can spend time daily just being and listening to what God has to say to us.

Psalm 46-10 says
"Be still, and know that i am God".

Sorry for no post yesterday I had a crook back so I couldn't come into work :-(.

We had some girls from a high school come in today; they are doing a documentary on Genesis for a school media project.
Titled: "A DAY IN THE LIFE OF GENESIS"
I can't wait to see the finished production.

It amazes me how the work God is doing in this place can even change the hearts of people who have no idea what happens in the homeless community.

Bev one of my co-workers had a great opportunity to talk God with these three young teens, through this we are praying that soon they will come to have a direct relationship with our saviour.
Bev said "one of the girls said to her that she had only thought of poverty as something which happens in third world countries. She never thought of it as something which happens in Australia let alone 5 kms from where she goes to school".

Praise God for all the good things, which are happening at the genesis centre.

Jesus said in Matthew 7:13-1413 Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
