Nothing is Impossible for God

So it's been a crazy few weeks, we started Sidewalk and so my free time seems few and far between. Praise God that all my time is in His work!

On a serious note, a lot has happened in the last week in a half. So you all can be aware and pray, there have been at least four murders in the last two weeks here in Brooklyn. One was a young man who had grown up in our Yogi Bear Sidewalk Sunday School ministry, left New York for a few years and had just came back, re-dedicated his life to God at church Sunday, then the following Tuesday was shot and murdered.  Another being a mother and daughter in Coney Island, and another being a women who was stabbed and left in her bathtub. This is all around us here in Brooklyn, and so please be praying. It's by no means a reason to be scared or to want to come home, but completely a reason to know that this is why I, and all of us are here. The kids, their families need to hear God's word, and see His love, because the next day or week, they may not be with us anymore. So please, here their cry through this blog and pray for them, fast even if you feel lead. And again to all of you who have sponsored me through money or prayers thank you from the bottom of my heart.

First Weeks at Metro Ministries!

OH MY! So it has been wonderful! So far all we have done is prep prep prep! I had hard core training last week, staff retreat yesterday and the day before, and getting to know my division and new family all the rest of the time!

My area is in CONEY ISLAND! I'm so excited! My site there is Marlboro, and that is where I will have my sidewalk three times on thursday, and where I will be visiting on wednesday.

I am a bit nervous for the visitations I will be making, just because I will be walking around the projects on my own, but seeing the kids I know will make it worth every possible thing that could happen. So please pray that I would be able to walk in boldness and peace with disernment on who maybe to keep my distance and who to aproach.

Other than all the training on how to do sidewalk, how to prepare our lessons, how the system works and all, I have had some amazing encounters with God! He is working on me so much! It's crazy! If you want more specifics I would be more than happy to share! Just message me on facebook, or at jessiann626@yahoo.com . It's a bit of a story so messaging me would be easier :)

Other prayer request:
     That there would be more kids this semester than ever before
     That all of us interns and staff would be completely prayed up, prepared, and excited to get on stage and chare Christ, that we would treat every single kids like it's there one and last chance to hear God, because for some it very well might be.
     That also, for me, I would be able to continue to work on my validation as a christian. All that that entails.

That you alll! God Bless!!!

And so it begins...

Hey! Alright so this is entry numero uno! It's my last day here in Maryland visiting family and what, and let me say, it's been amazing! The longing and missing I've had so burried deep in my soul sense i was seven years old (when I moved away) has been overflowing out of me. It's so hard to handel and I'm seriously on the verge of breaking down. I remember my life here when I used to live here and it's more like a faint dream I used to have a lot, rather than memories from the past. It's been SO long sense I have truely been here, and it feels like I came back home. When I visited a few years back, it wasn't coming back home for a week, it was coming to visit family for a week. This time, it's me coming back home, and it feels wonderful. I almost don't want to leave. So anywho..

Tomorrow I fly out to New York to begin my semester with Metro! I'm so excited! I can't even explain it! I have been waiting, anticipating this for so long! :) I will try to come on here every night to tell about my day, I'm sure sometimes the post will be really long, others maybe really short, and others somewhere in between. One thing i can garruntee, is that I will poor my  heart into these posts, almost like they will be my diary. So try to remember what I write, is how I feel in that moment. So one post I may sound real angry, one maybe real sad, the next one probably real happy, just know that that's how I felt as I was writing it.

Also! Know I am the worlds most terrible speller. So feel free to correct me :)
