Live to serve...

So this last weekend all the interns went up to Sacramento to help with the Lay Leadership Conference at Capital Christian Center. We got to serve with a bunch of Master Commissions and pretty much did everything from serving in break-out sessions to picking up trash. We also put up our Global Passion to spread the word.

Since it was a two day conference, and Angies parents live close by...they opened up their home to ALL of us interns! They blessed us soooo much, giving us a place to stay, AWESOME food to eat, and just lettin us be a part of the familiy for the weekend. Angies mom (Momma Neece) has got to be the sweetest, most hospitable woman i have ever met. She definitely made me feel loved and at home. Then theres Angie's dad (Papa Steve) awesome guy, he loves music, he loves God, so yea i pretty much love him. He's also a real easy going guy and just easy to talk to. Then theres lil Anthony(Angies lil bro). LOVE THAT KID....i miss havin my lil bros around, so he definitely was a blessing, just listening and playin wtih him was a blast..So pretty much to sum it all up, stayin at the Cox home this weekend was definitely the closest ive felt to home since i came here to Global Passion. God is gonna bless that family sooo much....

Matthew 25: 34-40 (NLT)

" Then the king will say to those on his right, come you are who blessed by my father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world. For i was hungry and you fed me, i was thirsty and you gave me a drink, i was a stranger and you invited me into your home, i was naked and you clothed me. I was sick and you cared for me, i was in prison and you visited me. Then these righteous ones will reply "lord when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you somehting to drink? Or a stranger and show you hospitality? Or naked and gave you clothing? When did we ever see you sick or in prisson and visited you?" And the King will say "I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these, my brother and sister, you are doing it to me."

I think the theme for this last weekend was servanthood, and i need to learn how to make it a lifestyle. We served at the conference and we were served by the Cox family. Jesus honors and loves when we serve, because that's what he came down to.
