Whats good people. Thought about what to do my first official blog on, then I thought what's on my heart. I mean if I'm getting into this blogging scene (and with a name like 'Makings of a man'), its best for me to be authentic, honest and transparent.....so here goes...
I volunteer in a drop in 2 out of 7 days in a week and often come in contact with people that life hasn't dealt the greatest hand. Addictions, Homelessness and life issues in general are a common theme in the 'Jesus Centre' and after talking with a woman on Monday, I was told to 'testify' next time I get the chance to go into work. Now I don't know about you, but when I hear the term testify I think, black church, old school deacons, pastor and congregation and a plumpish woman at the front in her Sunday best sharing what God's done for her in the last week at the altar.
Unfortunately I had no pulpit.....and those who know me know I'm not too much on the plumpish side. No congregation, just a few people going about their everyday lives in a drop in centre....and just one word on my heart.....Trust. Like everyone I think I've been hurt once or twice, and it's impacted heavily on how much I've let people in since and trust people in general. But God's been changing my heart and healing me in that area by showing me someone who I can depend on to never change....him.
So...this is what I shared with those in the 'Jesus Time' on the day. I can only speak what I know......check out this song by Taylor Lane, an artist I've been following for about 2 years now. I think she touches on the subject of 'dependence' in a unique and quite beautiful way.....Enjoy.
