BLS WEEK 1

Yesterday I had the privilege of walking around London and helping show it to the DTS students. We walked from Oxford street to trafalgar square to the Thames to parliament to Westminster and then finished off with buckingham palace . There were 8 students with us and we had quite a good time waltzing about London. Here are a couple pictures of me on a bridge over the river.

Every other Wednesday me and another guy Mats ( from Belgium) volunteer at the salvation army In our area. We make food with donations from Sainsbury's and serve some of the homeless/needy people in the area. It's pretty fun. we've met some really interesting people to say the least. We have also met some people who are very passionate about helping people. We met a polish lady that is helping people, with addiction problems, from other countries get connected again with their families and even rehab centers in their home countries. She isn't a Christian but has this passion to help people. She is literally on call 24 7. But she is doing it all in her own strength . How long is she going to be able to last with out that "recharge" we get from Jesus? How long are we able to go if we do things out of our own strength ? I have this amazing opportunity to help prepare London to receive the world next summer. But if I try to do everything in my own strength I am going to burn out fast. Eevn depending on him for for little things like buyin shampoo. If I get caught up In a "how am I going to make this happen" mentality I'm not letting Him do what he is best at. Which is taking care of me. Making sure my batteries are charged (that I dot smell) so I can show His love to people who don't know how to see it yet.
