Today was my first day of deliveries.
I've had some major struggles the last couple of weeks, and I had times of wondering if maybe I was biting off more than I can chew, but God is good and He has provided not just resources of materials and money, but in courage and strength.
I was very nervous walking up to the first house. I still hadn't fully decided what to say, but I just let God do the talking, and Laura made me realize that it doesn't matter how I feel or what I'm struggling with, because this was for her. She put me at ease with her smile and her love. After hugs, tears, thank you's and love you's, I looked at my husband and said, "This is why I needed to do this."
I delivered food to a total of 9 homes, giving each 3-4 food items, basically enough for a cohesive meal. I originally was going to give each home 2 food items, but Dominick thought maybe I should start smaller and get a feel for it, get my feet wet as it were.
After all of it, I have a renewed enthusiasm and motivation. This is Gods work, and man was He working today!! I am grateful for Him giving me the courage to follow through, and honored to allow Him to show Himself to others through me.
If you are reading this and are one of the people that received food today, Thank you. Thank you for your smiles and your love and your openness. You made my day, really.
I hope you saw a glimpse of God and His grace today, because I sure did!
