Seattle Homeless Misson

This Friday we leave with our youth pastor to go to Seattle/Tacoma area and reach out to the homeless. We are spending all day Saturday doing service projects to put together things like blankets, toiletries, and food that they might need. Sunday will be spent at a homeless church I believe under and overpass.

I cant tell you how excited I am to learn something new about something I have never had to experience. I have so much respect for those in need because when it really comes down to it without family & friends, or a strong sense of faith it is hard to get back up from rock bottom. I hope that this experience will teach me more about why and how people become homeless and what it is that they most desire in life besides a bottle or a drug. Being homeless should not define them as a person but as a society we have labeled and thrown them into a category which enables their strengths such as music, art, or service to be completely overshadowed.

To walk a mile in someone else's shoes is a great example of what I will be experiencing this weekend and I go into this with an open mind, a loving heart, and a special word......... the word of GOD!
