Learning how to love and how to live by His example.

His Heart. April 7, 2008

His Heart is an organization that was founded by Calvary Baptist church and was/is basically lead by Linda Smith. It is a powerful organization that I believe has kept Calvary alive and has impacted hundreds of kids in the heart of Jackson. It has affected my life probably more than anything on this earth. Jesus has taught me so much through it, like what I want to do with my life, and who I really am. It has lead me to make the decision to join Calvary Baptist in their ministry and I will soon be joining their church. I have a heart for inner-city ministry. I have a heart for Jackson. I am going to college in the fall, but after two years I plan to be back in action here in Jackson. I want to be here to celebrate, grow, struggle, etc. with Jesus, and with His Heart ministries. I’ve talked to people about my decision to join Calvary and some people agree, you know like “if that’s where your heart is” kind of agreement and some people wonder why I would even do it. I think this is where God is calling me to be. I know my passion consists of inner-city ministry, mentally challenged people, and the elderly..Calvary baptist is located right in the heart of inner-city minstry, it has one of the largest ministries to the mentally challenged and there are tons of old people :) my heart is sure when I am there. I love it. I want to be a part of it. I can’t wait.

Don’t get me wrong, I am very thankful for my church and where it has brought me. I will continue to go to it on sunday nights and what not, and possibly the trips too, but I’m ready for something new, more challenging if you will.

My weekend was amazing. It was the His Heart 10th year anniversary and I am proud to say that I got spend 4 of those years with them. The celebration started Friday with a cookout, then the carnival saturday, then a huge celebration on sunday morning. I couldn’t have asked for anything better. Prom was absolutely amazing too. I had the best date in the whole wide world. We danced crazily like we were at Camp Rainbow again.(Camp Rainbow is a camp for the mentally challenged, if you didn’t know) He was so sweet to me and made my senior prom amazing. Thanks for that J. :)

I love Jesus. I love Jackson. I love to dance.–that could sum up my weekend.

Be encouraged brothers and sisters.
