Inspired by Co-Workers
Today as I interacted with my fellow co-workers at the non-profit where I work, I began to feel a welling up of immense fondness for them all. I see an incredible work of God in that place and it has a lot to do with who is working there now. We are not a Christian agency; the word “Ministry” is no where in our title. But during the two years I have worked there, it has been amazing to watch Him bring people in and out of positions so that now, many Christ-followers are my co-workers. In our small space in downtown OKC, we are filled with folks who are compassionate, encouraging, and filled with grace. It is one of the only places where I have worked where I can say that everyone there is passionate about what they do. They care about their clients, they work hard to support and strengthen the shattered self-worths we daily encounter. They fight for the right of all humans to be treated with dignity.
They inspire me. And I am so grateful.

It’s so great to hear that someone is so inspired by the people they work with. I work in a - uh - hmm - “ungodly” place. But good news, they are hiring a new person who just happens to be born-again (THANK YOU LORD) and that is so wonderful. And it will be nice to have an inspired person working with me because honestly, sometimes my light feels like it’s flickering on and off. Good for you, Jenn!

In response to your post on my blog, yes. Call the mission, 232-7696, and we will work out what day and time we could use those, assuming you still have them. Thank you for thinking of us.
