Urban Connection: The Solution
http://lesliegrubbsurbanconnection.blogspot.com/2011/08/solution.html
Saturday, August 27, 2011. But what is poverty? Who are the poor? And how do we alleviate it? When Helping Hurts" states that. Poverty is the result of relationships that do not work, that are not just, that are not for life, that are not harmonious or enjoyable. Poverty is the absence of shalom in all its meanings.". So, when you look at poverty that way, who are the poor? What can Jesus do for the community while they are still living? Poverty alleviation is the ministry of reconciliation: moving peopl...

Sunday, October 3, 2010. This week I am visiting my parent organization Central Dallas Ministries and giving a presentation to at the All Staff Meeting about what we are doing in San Antonio. I am showing them this video and thought that you all may enjoy it too. Some may have seen it before on our Facebook page or on YouTube so I hope you don’t mind seeing it again. Thank you to Pastor Craig Grubbs, my husband, for making this video for us. I promise it will bless you. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Urban Connection: August 2011
http://lesliegrubbsurbanconnection.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 29, 2011. Not because no one was there to impart wisdom. People sometimes are where they are not because they want to be, but because they don't know any other way. How do you learn to be a good parent if you haven't had it modeled or told to you? How do you not have 6 children before you are 25 years old, if that is all you've seen? How do you get a job when no one in your family has ever worked? How do you know you can eat well off of $35 when all you've ever know is people's scraps?

Urban Connection: May 2008
http://lesliegrubbsurbanconnection.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 19, 2008. Friday, May 16, 2008. I have decided to begin blogging. This is something new for me. I am a little afraid of it, but I feel it is necessary. I need some tangible way to document what goes on at Urban Connection on a daily basis even if it is in a small way. I don't think so. This blog will be about our successes and our failures in the community. I will do my best to write daily. So, here we go. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Follow us on our journey to find out.

Urban Connection: Reflecting on "The Cycle"
http://lesliegrubbsurbanconnection.blogspot.com/2011/09/reflecting-on-cycle.html
Tuesday, September 13, 2011. Reflecting on "The Cycle". And renew their strength. And power; they shall lift their wings. And mount up [close to God] as eagles [mount up to the sun]; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. Go to God, check myself. Spend time in the word. Seek Him daily for direction and answers. Have to fire people. People offended left and right. Problems of others…everything from children issues, addictions to suicidal thoughts and tendencies. Calls all day long.

Urban Connection: Taking the Limits Off
http://lesliegrubbsurbanconnection.blogspot.com/2011/09/taking-limits-off.html
Friday, September 2, 2011. Taking the Limits Off. Since May I have been in an internal struggle believing God about the "exceeding, abundantly above all you can ask, think or imagine". A friend of mine would say, "you have to take the limits off God". As I tried to do it in my own strength, fear would set in.what if what I "ask, think or imagine" doesn't happen? Sometimes it's easier to believe God for failure than to believe Him for success. He is not like man that He should lie. The journey of communit...

Urban Connection: March 2011
http://lesliegrubbsurbanconnection.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 31, 2011. Sometimes you gotta remind yourself. In spite of all the great things that you may see leaders do, we all struggle with fear, doubt, failure, and complacency, well.at least I do. So when I need a little reminder about who called me and what He called me to do I listen to this song by one of my favorite artists, Fred Hammond. I hope it blesses you as much as it blesses me over and over again. Tuesday, March 29, 2011. Prayer and Fasting for Change. And James 5:16,. Trespasses to o...

http://lesliegrubbsurbanconnection.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 22, 2011.
