So as for now, God has shown me that he wants me to work at Haven of Hope (a woman's and child homeless shelter). My first day was on Monday, which I helped coordinate 6-8 work stations for doing their monthly newsletters. So it was very easy to do and I got to interact with a lot of the women who live there. At first when I got there, parked my car and then I prayed that God would help me get out and walk up there. For some reason I get spiritually attacked big time when I first arrive at places like these to work at or what ever. But he came through and I walked up those stairs and the door was already opened with other ladies inside. The first set of ladies I ran into was the director that I have been in contact with. So that was my first huge praise! :) So looked at me and said hi and then turned away to finish a conversation with someone else. Then instantly she turned back around and said are you Darcy.. I was like yes I am. :) From then on it was very smooth sailing. I stuffed and addressed envelopes for 3 hours non stop. PHEW! It didn't feel like a job at all. That's what I love about doing Gods work... it never feels like a job that u are staring at the clock waiting for your time to be up. I had no set time.. so I was good to stay for how ever long they needed me for that job. The director and I got to talk a bit and she knows my mother n law. :) So she thought that was way cool! Some of the homeless woman sitting at the table with me, were asking me why and how was i there. Like it was foreign to them to have people just show up to stuff envelops at their shelter. I told them that I have done and enjoy doing mission trips.. but my health wont let me go this year so I found this place and emailed the director and wala here I am. They were like wow that's really cool.
I had such peace and joy in my heart while i was there and working with them. And as I type this I am feeling a pulling or longing to go back and help out more. So I totally know that right now, this is where God wants me to be. :) Thank you Jesus!
