day twenty-three

today, my friend mark was absent from a math class we had together, so i briefed him on what he missed in class before he even asked me to! reminder to self, act of love is taking the first step before someone asks for your help.

also, walking to class this morning, i saw a homeless old woman on the drag. she was actually a homeless person, unlike other "homeless" people that hang around but have a place to stay. she was sleeping on the floor in front of a store with a thin blanket covering her. it was quite chilly in the morning too...so i've decided to bring my blanket (throw) tomorrow on the way to class. if i see her sleeping on the floor again, i'm going to give it to her. if not, i'm bringing an extra breakfast for her, if i see her. i don't know what they need more...food or clothing? please pray for boldness!

also, tina really encouraged me yesterday with her comment on my last post. it's been a rough week for me, but i am learning every minute to embrace what God has given me and letting go of what i do not have. i want to be thankful for every single thing and grasp the art of grace. i was listening to my ipod on the way to school, and God really spoke to me in this song, "In Your Freedom" by Hillsong...

I search for You God of strength
I bow to You in my brokenness
And no other King could have so humbly come
To save my soul and heal my heart
I have nothing more than all You offer me
There is nothing else that’s of worth to me
And I love You Lord
You rescued me
You are all that I want
You’re all that I need
I pray to You God of peace
I rest in You my cares released
I have nothing more than all You offer me
There is nothing else that’s of worth to me
And I love You Lord
You rescued me
You are all that I want
You’re all that I need
In Your freedom I will live
In Your freedom I will live
I offer devotion, I offer devotion

walking in His freedom,
