History pt 7 -- God finally showed us

I will never forget this meeting. Unfortunately, I don't remember what day it happened. It must have been in December before Christmas.

I was at yet another 30 Hour Famine meeting. These were evening meetings because many of the youth leaders were either lay people or bi-vocational pastors. I had not had dinner, I was very hungry, they only had cookies to eat and I was so tired. It had been a long day. Christmas is a busy time of year and I was beat.

During the meeting, we got talking about the different service projects and Anne kept talking about providing hot meals to some homeless people in the area. A church Route 1 was going to make a hot meal and several youth would be able to be there to serve the meal.

As soon as this was mentioned, one of the other youth pastors asked if a certain Sunday was available for them to deliver meals to be done as a service project. Anne and the pastor completed the deal and the rest of the table kept on talking about all these homeless people and where they were living. One of the people at the table had been to one of the camps. It was so unbelievable to hear how primitive the conditions were knowing that Howard County is so wealthy.

I started to ask a bunch of questions and eventually was told that Anne was the point of contact for this whole deal. I honestly thought that I had finally found what god was leading us to do!! I traded information with Anne and left that meeting feeling much better.

I could not wait to hear more from Anne.
