Today Chris and Arron picked me up again and we went to eat at the In and Out Burger. Then we went to the Homeless Coalition office and proceeded to contact people for donations to be used at the big barbecue we are having sunday evening at New Hope Church. I will be volunteering and also playing some music there. Later we are having a meeting with some of the City Council members about the homeless problem in Stanislaus County. I will also be in the group of people up front that will be giving our personal feelings about the homeless problem. This is a great opportunity for me to be a part of something that helps other people- Something that has hit home with me especially, because I have been homeless myself also. Just one week ago I became unhomeless. I was finally able to move into the apartments available at the First Baptist Church. It's for all people in the Shepards Garden Ministry. I also bought me a new cell phone and called my mother and my little brother. It seems like my whole life has changed. Its funny how having a home can do that. I am already inviting my homeless friends over to visit me and make their selves at home. I,ve contacted alot of my old christian friends and made arrangements to start fellowshipping again. The last week at the Mission was almost impossible. I thought I was going to explode. Their are alot of sick and lost people there. I really feel sorry for them. I have built personal relationships with most of them, and when I returned their to visit last night, alot of people said that they had missed me. That was a good feeling. Even though I have mixed feelings sometimes about First Baptist Church, I have learned so much and have grown so much there. Something is happening and I think it is good. God is doing something with my life again. Selah |
