First Night of Driveway Devotionals

My husband and I went to church on Sunday and the sermon really challenged us to look at our lives and reflect on the ways we were serving others around us. The sermon was focused on a girl about my age who is currently serving the Lord in India. They did a video on her that they shared with the congregation and when it was over, the pastor brought a video camera out and pointed it at us. My heart actually started to race a bit as I did not know what he was going to do. He had already called Brandon out during his sermon and used him as an example for something. Ha! So at this point I was not sure what to think. The pastor then carried on to talk about how the young woman he had just shared with us had no problem sitting in front of the camera and sharing all that she has been doing for the Lord and for others in the name of God's love.

That really got me thinking and then he proceeded to lay signs along the steps of the stage. 'Home' 'Work' 'Town' etc. As he was placing the signs he asked us where we were serving in these areas and that really got Brandon and I thinking...

So Brandon had already had this idea of ministry.. reading our bibles on our driveway and writing a verse on our slanted driveway afterwards. So we did it! Last night was our first night and it was awesome! We had a great response from people walking and riding their bikes by our house. 'Love your verse' a few people said as they walked by and one woman walking her dog even stopped to talk with us and low and behold- she goes to our church and thought what we were doing was very cool. Have this in mind though- this is not something we are doing so we can be cool- this is something we are doing to glorify our Lord and share his love with people. It's such an easy and fun way to share! Check out our verse for Day 1: Matthew 22:37-39 We thought it was a great way to start out our Driveway Devotionals... be sure to read the verse! It's a great one!
