This is my second week back in Memphis! It seems like it has been longer because so much has happened in the past two weeks. I got the job I have been wanting at my church! I am an intern, along with three other amazing people, for Ryan who is head over the missions dept. at my church. My job is amazing. I get to go to the inner city of Memphis and serve the people. I have met so many amazing people this week. People that risk their lives daily to follow Christ and provide for their city. I have met guys that use to be in gangs but are now in programs to help them graduate and get a secure job. Guys that have thrown away addictions and their old lives to follow Christ. These men have changed and are now examples to everyone they see out on the streets. It represents God's love. How we are broken by our sins and addictions and He accepts us as we are. Broken. How He can restore a shattered life and make it whole again. All He asks is that we accept Him and follow Him. There is so much beauty in grace. It shows the love of our creator. It doesn't matter what color we are, where we live, where we have been, He accepts us and loves us all. I was reminded of that this week and I felt so much joy. I am so excited about what God is doing in Memphis.
