Sockey Tan or Dirt?

As a kid, the realization that the Supermarket name 'Pick-n-Pay' (used it so often) actually means 'you pick something and then you pay' was major! I was so proud to figure that out. Now it's a similar situation. That I experience the Challenge in the name Global CHALLENGE.

 

Turkey, lovely Turkey. I dont know if they were overly cautious seeing 10 tents (mostly orange) perfectly pitched in a public park, but the Park security the Police and the Metro Guards didn't need to team up. Why did I choose to sleep on the side?  so that they can shake my tent first to wake us up?  I prayed. So here we are 1 o clock in the morning staring at the grass we were just camping on. And all they wanted to do is wet the garden. With sewage water.

 

There are times we don't know what we will eat or where we will sleep. But its in those situations were we truly see God providing hand. This is living. Matthew 6:34: 'So don't worry about tomorrow..' 

 

Creator, You are so much bigger, aren't you? Much bigger than our small minded questions. I loose myself in the lines of these mountains. The kingdom of God. Where is the kingdom? Where is God? Sometimes we search everywhere except in ourselves.  I asked Jesus many questions and waited for direct answers and all He came to do (on is stunning olive farm surrounded by nature)  is show me His glorious perfect LOVE.

 

That's the problem. I  didn't  understand Love!!!! Or what the saying 'God is love ' really means... Unconditional 1 Corinthians Love.  Jesus Love. Eternal Love. 

LOVE . How misused the term is. As for now it feels like I  can't even use it, that's how powerful it is.

 

The term 'homeless' seemed so far, so detached from normal life, now he is my friend. What is homeless when heaven is home? This old guy has nothing and he wanted to give me all he had just because im sitting with him on his blanket. We have so much and yet we are considerate. May God bless him seven times seven. His homeless 'tag' contains more info on the back if you just took the effort to flip it. I am burning from Jesus Love.‎
