Sometimes a day on the dime is just about seeking Jesus. Seeking His direction. Following His lead and walking where He says to go. I have been reading the book of Joshua, and so many chapters are devoted to the inheritance of the land for each tribe. God is so specific in establishing boundaries where His people are to dwell. I have walked a lot of different places over the last several months. This day, I set out to walk and pray about territory and seek God's direction. What, I wondered, would be the area of inheritance for me...as someone who is praying for revival and for the knowledge of the Glory of the Lord to cover this land as the waters cover the sea? Have I already walked it? Would He take me someplace new? So much of where I went were places I had already been. At one point, however, I felt led to turn around and go to a different street. So, I did. Part of this street, pictured here, is adjacent to an empty lot. I felt a lot more vulnerable here. So much so that at one point I prayed out loud, "God, if I'm way off the mark here, let me know...because if your presence isn't with me I don't want to be here." Honestly, I still don't have the answers to the question about territory. But I do know that when I feel the leading of the Holy Spirit to turn around and go a new way, I will go. I will continue to walk this path, seeking Jesus, and waiting expectantly for His will to be done and for His Kingdom to come...in the near east side as it is in Heaven.

"Be strong and courageous, for you shall cause this people to inherit the land that I swore to their fathers to give them." (Joshua 1:6)
"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go." (Joshua 1:9)

The word "Maranatha" appears only once in the New Testament at the close of Paul's first letter to the Corinthians in 1 Corinthians 16:22. It appears untranslated, carried over from Aramaic into a Greek letter as though Paul could not find a Greek word that held its full weight. It means, "Come, Lord." Revelation 22:20 closes with the same cry. The context here is that John has seen everything that was, and is, and is to come; and after all of it, the last recorded prayer of Scripture is simply, "Even so, come, Lord Jesus." It is the prayer of a man who has seen the full picture and whose response to all of it is to long more deeply for the One who stands at the center of it.

Maranatha is the posture and cry of the heart of Grit Into Grace. It has been cultivated through encounters with Jesus, and it has grown into a heart that has found in Jesus someone worth longing for. Maranatha is the prayer that awaits the return of Jesus AND directs us daily as we prepare, minister, share, and disciple the people God places in our lives.

Maranatha. Come, Lord Jesus.

This was such a sweet day on the dime. As I first started walking, I noticed these two boards that had been discarded on the sidewalk, forming the perfect shape of a cross. There are so many ways I see Jesus on the streets, and this was one of them. As always, I didn't know where God would lead. I met a few people that day. The first person I encountered, named 'S', shared with me about his day, his health, and how grateful he was to be working. I continued on, stopping as someone from a front porch called out to me. I stood on the sidewalk as he asked me about the Bible I was carrying. His name is 'R' and he talked a little bit about his faith. We continued to talk so long that I eventually joined him on his porch. We talked about his kids, his losses, his grief, his joy, and the scar on his abdomen from a bullet wound. I shared, too, about my life and my love for Jesus and His people. One of the things I believe is important in being available to what Jesus is asking me to do is to allow myself to be interrupted. To be patient. To linger with someone and not hurry on my way. I am always grateful when I slow down and listen. The verse I have prayed for months over this little area of the near east side is from Habakkuk. I pray this earnestly and with faith that God will answer, and that the near east side will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.

It was a day for water. The temperature was over 90 degrees and the sun was shining without the relief of clouds. I put 5 bottles of water in my backpack before I headed out to walk and pray. One of the things I am learning is not to look for 5 people to give water to, but to look for Jesus and to respond to His promptings. If I am just tossing out water in order to empty my backpack and feel like I've done something nice, then I am missing Jesus. It's ok to come back without giving out water at all. I had been walking for a bit (and was already sweaty) when I turned on a side street off of 10th. A man was walking towards me pushing a bicycle, his shirt off and his face and body covered in sweat. I asked him when he got near me if he wanted some water. His smile was the perfect "yes." We talked and exchanged names, and I shared with him that Jesus is the true, living water. "S" said that he knew of Jesus but wasn't really following Him. It was a kind and gentle conversation, and I was grateful for the encounter. My goal is to share the love of Jesus, knowing that the Holy Spirit changes the hearts of people, so it was easy to say goodbye to "S" and continue walking.

At this point, I was considering whether to call it a day and go back to the house. Honestly, I was hot and sweaty and was wanting to head back. However, I knew I was to keep walking towards Michigan. There were a lot of people out around the shelter when I got there, but I didn't feel that tug to offer water. As I crossed the street, I noticed a man on a bike. As he passed a parked van, the passenger opened the door and knocked the man down. He fell hard, and I went over to him and sat on the sidewalk next to him. He was in so much pain. The woman who hit him seemed only concerned that she wouldn't be blamed. He didn't want an ambulance, even as he writhed in pain. He pulled up his pant leg and showed me a huge bruise that was already forming. As he sat up, he told me his name. "L" accepted the offer of water and we continued to talk while he tried to steady himself. I prayed for him as he headed home. The two bottles I gave out that day were for God's purposes and for His glory.

The discipleship journey with this woman, this friend, has been beautiful from the beginning. She continues to surrender and say yes to Jesus, she trusts God as her friend and provider, and she has seen Him show up in so many sweet ways. She is not simply a convert...she is a disciple who will also make disciples as she continues to walk with Jesus. On June 12th, my friend continued to say yes by being baptized. She said yes to obedience. She said yes to the public declaration of her faith. She said yes to the cross. She is beautiful. She is full of light. She is full of the Holy Spirit. And she is such a joy to my heart.

"What are you waiting for? Get up and be baptized. Have your sins washed away by calling on the name of the Lord." Acts 22:16

I rarely know where I am going to walk and pray when I leave the Dream House. I want to go where God is leading, I want to be where He is at work, and I want to be obedient to follow the path He lays out before me. On this day, I was about to head to 10th Street when I felt like I should head in the opposite direction. I headed towards Michigan and, as I walked, I remembered a woman who was recently murdered near Rural and Washington streets.

I knew I was supposed to go where she died and pray over her family, the community, and over the land. This area can be spiritually dark, and I prayed for protection and for the light of Jesus to shine in the darkness. As I got closer to Washington street, I looked down and I was surrounded by white butterflies. I felt the presence of God all around me. There was a memorial where this woman was killed. I stopped on the sidewalk to pray. I learned she was a mom. I learned that she was loved. I prayed and was overwhelmed by such sadness...for her and for the violence that impacts the lives of so many people in this area.

After leaving her memorial, I headed down Rural towards 10th street, still feeling the heaviness of the atmosphere. I was walking towards three men who were on the sidewalk. As I began to pass, one of the men asked about the Bible I was carrying. I stopped and we talked for a long while about Jesus, what I have been praying over the community, and how much God loves His people. Before I left, one of the men asked if we could pray together. Hand in hand, we stood in a circle on Rural and prayed. Only God! My heart was no longer heavy, but full of the joy of the Lord.

God is so good and so faithful. On this day on the dime, I shared in His suffering. I also shared in His joy. I continue to pray for revival in this area, and there is no doubt that God is beginning that revival in MY heart.

It has been almost three months of walking (quite literally) in the new God has called me to. I pray a lot before I leave the Dream House...Where does God want me to go that day? Will he bring people to encounter? To pray with? Should I bring food and drinks that day? There are two things I always know...I will pray over the area, the homes, the people, and the land...and I will carry my Bible. I have now met twenty-six people, many of whom I have gotten to pray with, many I have seen more than once. And every time...I see God...I see His love for me and His compassion for His people. I am learning the sound of His voice and the subtle pull on my heart to move in whichever direction He sends me. Knowing God more fully is my favorite part. Because when I know Him, when I know how He loves me and I move from that place...then I can be a vessel for His love to the one in front of me.

On this particular day that is pictured, God sent me to an area I have never walked alone. I truly did not want to go. The area felt heightened in the spirit as I approached, and I almost turned around. But still, my feet kept moving. As soon as I crossed the street, an ambulance rushed by and stopped at a man not far away who was unconscious on the sidewalk. I began to pray for him and for the first responders. I slowed down and continued to pray for this man and for God's direction. I crossed the street, a little past the man now, and began to turn towards the unconscious man. I noticed he was awake now, and first responders were loading him onto the ambulance. As I was walking, I ran into a kid named "R". He's 26, but at my age of 55 he is a kid to me. We talked a bit about the man. He then asked about my Bible and we talked a bit about Jesus. He asked me to sit with him on a step on 10th street (known as "the dime") and we continued to talk...about Jesus...about his life and how hard it would be for him to change. And then, we prayed. There is always a reason God sends us somewhere, and, that day, these men were my reasons. The new I am walking in is simple. And it is beautiful.

Because of the generous donations from Citizens State Bank in Fishers, we have been able to share so many treats with kids, neighbors, and people we meet and share Jesus with on the streets. It is a joy to love the one in front of us, and to share food with people who are hungry and drinks with those who are thirsty.

Last week, I had the joy of beginning a discipleship journey with a woman I have known for a long time. It is a precious thing to sit one-on-one with someone and share Jesus. What a sweet day it was! She is truly longing to know Jesus and to follow Him. She recommitted her life to Jesus, and I know this is just the beginning of the total life-change He has for her. Thank you Onward Church for this simple and powerful teaching tool. I am grateful for the ways you pour into me so I can pour into the people God has placed in my life. Yay, Jesus!
