Squatter

For over a week I have had a guy squatting out the front of my place… I had never met or even seen him til today.
It has been raining today, and it was pouring down this morning, praise the Lord, we needed the rain, and it was awesome waking up to the sound of rain on the tin roof. Since it was raining so much, the squatter hadn’t left as early as he usually does, and I had a day off, and was going out the front to check the mail, and I got to met him, and talk to him for a bit, it was awesome.
This guy is a friend with one of the guys that came along to our cell 2 years ago before he went to Qld to rebuild his relationships with his family. They were in Towards Independence (a rehab type program) together. The Squatter knew that his friend used to come here for a meal and cell, and thought it was a safe place to squat.

It is really cool, that the connections and impact that we made 2 years ago is evident today. A lot of the time we don’t see the impact and the results of us living here, and talking to people.
Throughout the last couple of years we have seen our cell group grow, and then go back to 3 a few times, when this happens, it becomes discouraging, and it is easy to wonder whether we are meant to still be here.
However, God is still working here, and working through us, even though we don’t always see the work, this squatter is a reminder of that.
Also at the moment it is growing again, we had 5 at cell last night. Which was awesome, Praise the Lord.
