Be Still and Know that I am God

This is our quiet time today in the Red Light. The purpose was to learn that God still speaks amidst the darkness. It was cool to watch the people walking by and pray for them; for their lives, and for their jobs, and for their families, and for whatever path they find themselves on.

Then we went to the market today and looked at some sweet cultural stuff... We got a few journals and bracelets and things, while doing so we met a few of the owners and got to talk to them about Amsterdam, and where their from, and their outlook on the city. One women told us that she was born here, and that its way to crowded... I love the diversity, but I wonder if i felt the same if I lived here.

Later tonight we are going to meet up with the Kansas City group, and Melissa and we are going to go back through the Red Light. Be praying for that :)

There is a wedding at the base today, don't be surprised if we crash it :)

For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things He planned for us long ago. Eph. 2:10

We all get to be saved by the grace of God. Not just some of us. Not just the ones raised in a christian home. Not just the ones who stayed married. Not just the ons who were "saved at four, and there ain't no more" Not just the ones who are sexually pure, not just the sober ones. But also the ones who beat Jesus, and the stoned ones, and the girls behind the window, and the corrupted men, and the drug dealer and the porn star. We are all children of the mighty, living God. He makes All things new. We were created to make manifest the glory of God. To love God, and to love people. to encourage each other and to pray for one another.
