love intensely

So last night a man came into the center and I was immediately catching him at the door, wondering how I could help him. People who aren't familiar are a bit not welcome at first, for me, because I am nervous as to what they want.
I asked this man what I could help him with and he said, "Well, we are just waiting outside for some friends so we can go evangelize and I was staring in here so I thought I'd just come see what this place was."
Now, I love telling people what we do at the Breed. It's one of my favorite things. But this man just made me uncomfortable. I had visions of him saying "We'd like to evangelize in here" and I couldn't handle that. Regardless, I told him about the center, he took some brochures, and he went back outside.
I was sitting on the couch after that and the man and his crew were still standing outside waiting. One of my kids asked me who this man was and I told him about the evangelizing crew. He said, "I believe in Jesus and all that stuff, but I don't really go for the whole catching people on the street and talking to them about God."

I used to be someone who would hand out tracts and find any possibility to evangelize but I guess I've completely changed. I don't think I would ever want to do something like that again. Don't get me wrong, I believe in Jesus and all that stuff but...I don't think talking to random people on the street is quite the way to go about "winning new believers to Christ."

I could rant on and on about this, but I'm more fascinated with how much I've changed in the last few years. I'm proud of myself. I'm growing up and living a life that I'm happy with and doing what I love--loving people. Yeah...I've left a whole lot of crap behind--stuff that maybe I need to face and fix, but I don't care. I'm moving on and I don't want to have to deal with that stuff/those people anymore. I'm proud of myself, whether that's a sin or not, and I can't wait to see how I evolve in the next few years.
