The Reason I Came To San Francisco...

This past Sunday, I had the privilege of going to Reality Church, here in San Francisco, it was a very modern & young group of people. Francis Chan spoke to us. One of my friends absolutely loves him, she read all his books, and goes online to watch his preachings; I didn't even know who this man was; but I could definitely see God shining through him as he spoke to us. He talked to us about living in the moment, giving God our lives, and focusing on eternal goals & not worldly goals - which is ironic, he spoke about everything I have been battling with spiritually. God is talking to me through so many people, these same battles I am dealing with are coming up time & time again through discussions & teachings.


Yesterday the groups came during the afternoon. One of my groups has a lot of "students" my age and up, I think this week, I am going to struggle with and get better in leading people who are older than me. (But we won't tell them our age, until the last day!) My other group is younger, ages 14-17, but oh my goodness, they remind me of my youth kiddies back home so much, I already love them, and so many of the girls remind me of my sweet, cute sister back home, whom I dearly miss, yes you Jayna ;) The kids are awesome, I thought after a full day with them I would be drained & exhausted, but I feel rejuvenated, I feel refreshed, they are like a breath of fresh air! 


I cannot wait to see what God has in store for my group and the other group this week; the kids are already so bold, they went up to police men, security guards and homeless people during the Prayer Station. We did something called a Dessert Social, in which we opened the doors to people from the streets, to come in and eat desserts with us, the kids did an incredible job, their creativity showed in all the decorations & they spoke with all of the people that came in, I am already proud of them, I cannot wait for what is to come. This is the reason I came to San Francisco - for the kids!
