My first outing with Diakonos…hmm…I was really scared and worried about what to say. Luckily, Grady, Margie and James did most of the talking on Monday night. And I just listened. James amazed me the most. Despite his circumstances, he just kept smiling his most imperfect, several-teeth-missing smile, and I could see that he is a child of God. I could also see the sadness in his eyes, behind his smile, and I kind of can’t wait for Monday to come, so I can go talk to him again. He seems to want to tell his story to somebody.
To be honest, I think I joined Diakonos out of selfish reasons. I’ve been on a spiritual plateau, and I can’t really seem to feel anything these days. It just happened that while I was zoning in and out during the message on Sunday (hehe…), I looked down at my bulletin to where it listed the various ministries. I am very curious to see how God is using this dazed soul. Wah!
