remember the homeless woman i came upon 2 months ago? i have become her friend... and i am determined with the help of God i will help her... He brought her into my path for a reason and i feel called by Him to do whatever i can for her... so... she's a lovely person who has taken a huge fall... she's an alcoholic, hiv+, convicted felon... she's also soft spoken, pretty, weathered, weary, honest and thankful... if i could bring her home i would, but i don't have the training or knowledge in how to care for the psychosocial issues of a homeless person... i do, however, have the ability to pray for her, offer her some things to get by, help her reach out to her family and go home and hopefully convince her she is worthy of a second chance because Jesus came here for that very reason, to save the lives of us who are unworthy... because none of us deserve it, but He died for us anyway, that's how much He loved us... would you die for me? would i die for you? how can people turn that gift down?
