a "huggie" from God

this week I saw the church in action.

You might be asking yourself "how can a building take action? It's a building..." but that's just it- the church isn't a building. It's a group of people who truly believe in the power of God. And not just believe as in they endorse a set of philosophical principles, their belief is demonstrated through action.

I was standing at the bus stop on my way to work and I overheard this man talking with his friend who was begging for money in front of Tim Hortons...

He was telling her about how his wife was at the store and they had no money left but they really needed to buy diapers for their baby, and this random woman came up to her and said "God told me to give this to you."



He told her that she had just enough money to pay for her diapers, and was also able to buy a rattle.

I got chills.

I love it when God does stuff like that. He speaks to the church, and they move. Something about that just makes me want to sing. I love it when God does things that are so REAL and tangible that people can't help but tell everyone around them about it.

That's the kind of God I have come to know- a wonderful, loving, caring, personal God who knows our needs and is calling out to us. I couldn't stop smiling- I wanted to just turn around and start singing sweet tunes from Sister Act 2... I wanted to tell them, "I KNOW HIM! that's MY God!"

but I didn't. i just smiled and got on my bus.

sidenote: what the flip are "BABY SHAPED" diapers?! aren't all diapers shaped for a baby? lame.
