Day 9 - Ministry in Jacksonville
The forecast is 80% chance of rain today....and we aren't triking! What a great timing! Thanks, God!
I quickly in the morning loaded up the dirty clothes and headed by trike to a laundromat only a mile away [I can see on radar the showers won't arrive until around noon], and Earline prepared for a leadership meeting for some ladies from FBDA [the Florida chapter of the national Deaf Black Advocates].
In the afternoon Earline had her meeting....they discussed the purpose of agendas, and about knowing and accomplishing your mission statement.
After I got back from washing clothes, I set the computer on a table outside [the fellowship building had aluminum sides and roof, and I couldn't get a good satellite signal inside], and worked on the blog as the rain came.
And it got cold! Temperature probably dropped 20, 25 degrees in a matter of an hour or 2. In the evening, Pastor Pat and her husband Pastor Kenneth took us out for a wonderful meal at Golden Corral [How are we supposed to lose any weight on our trip?....ha!].
We then headed back for one last night in our little room.
Back at the Fellowship Hall, while I worked on the blog, Pastor Pat, Earline, Rose, and Sam had a long discussion about Deaf ministry, and life, and....well, around 8:00pm I heard them talking about closing in prayer, and around 10:00pm I heard them....talking about closing in prayer! Ha!
Thanks Lord, for a day of discussion, of learning, of organizing, and of trying to be more like You.
