INSPIRATION

[the following two posts are one entry, blogger seems to think my posts are too long. i think it has something to do with being on the school network. so please read both. :>]

let me tell you about an incredibly inspiring woman. her name is Lotte. she works full time at the International Christian Centre (a soup kitchen @ Queen and Spadina). she's originally from the phillipines and God has touched her life in many miraculous ways. last night, i got to hear more of her story. usually, when our fellowship goes to help the first wednesday of each month, she's there, cooking something. and last night, i found out that she cooks both monday AND wednesday nights. and since the centre has a boarding room upstairs, she also cooks for the early meal that that boarders eat. so she cooks the 5pm supper, cleans, prepares for the 7:30pm supper and cleans the pots and pans. after the patrons leave, she tidies up the place, sweeps and mops the floor before she finally goes home at about midnight. on top of that, every monday night, she leads worship! the other evenings in the week, she's there to take care of the place as other church groups come to serve dinner. but the churches usually only serve pasta, soup or sandwhiches. nothing like the chicken dinners she takes the time to make.
