Usable... no matter what my flaw

You know that verse in the bible that talks about how God uses our weaknesses to bring him glory? Yeah... well I experienced that last night. Every Friday night some people from my church and I prayer walk the neighborhood our building is in. So far it's been such an incredible experience, and this Friday night was no different. I walked around with two other people and we were walking and chit chatting, talking about a million different things, one of them being how none of us are very good with kids. We like them, but well... they don't like us as much! haha So we're walking and we run into a group of kids playing football in the middle of the street. We played with them, and talked with them, and found out about their life. It was awesome.Then we kept walking and we ran into more kids and we hung out, and played and talked. And once again, it was awesome. We reached these kids, we invested in their lives even a little bit and hopefully we'll be able to continue to grow a relationship with them each week! And the funny part is all of us claimed that we weren't kid people. But the thing is... God uses us in His infinite grace to bring glory to Him. He doesn't just use our strengths, but He uses our weaknesses! Sooo even when we feel like God can't use us, BAM He comes out of left field, using our shortcomings! My lack of a "knack with kids"? Used, along with two others, to reach the kiddies of my neighborhood. Just sayin... my God is pretty dang amazing.
