Bird and Da' Word!

Yesterday was "Bird and Da' Word" at Rescue Atlanta. Every Wednesday they serve Breakfast and Lunch and have about an hour long bible study. The Wednesday before Thanksgiving they typically give the people in attendance a turkey for Thanksgiving along with their regular food bag. Well this week as of Monday, they didn't have the money for the Turkeys and by Tuesday someone had called and said they wanted to buy all of the Turkeys. Just another example of how God is ALWAYS on time.  There is usually about 100 people in attendance each Wednesday, but yesterday....there were 200! There was a mix up with the team that was supposed to come in and cook Breakfast and Lunch for this Mass crowd, so Katie, Glenn, and I put our heads together and came up with a meal for them. Glenn oversaw the operation of the kitchen, and I rolled silverware, refilled sugar containers, and walked around and smiled and introduced myself to  lots of people.  I snuck up to the sound booth to take a picture, and unfortunately I couldn't capture the entire room. But it is always amazing to get see a room full of people praising and singing out.  Pastor Mel ended the service by playing a video of Kirk Franklin's song "Smile". People were singing out, dancing. You honestly couldn't help but smile.  We were exhausted by the end of the day, but when you're doing what God has called you to do, you don't mind. I left Glenn at home last night to rest and ice his knees, and I went with Pastor Katie to speak at a church about 45 minutes away. It was awesome to meet people who love the ministry of Rescue Atlanta and serve through their local church. And it was also nice to hang out with a new friend and sister, grabbing a  late night dinner at Chili's, and swapping testimonies. I'm thankful for every moment here in Atlanta serving with Rescue Atlanta. I wish that everyone would come and get a taste of whats happening here because these posts and pictures can't do it justice.
