today is chicago... woke up feeling sad about leaving robert and galen... sitting in starbucks, i have a glimmer of the Lord in a song on their sound system that actually spoke of Jesus Christ and they don't even realize what happened... :)

robert doesn't want me to speak about God to him so much, but he tells me about a pretty girl he's seen around the garage who is addicted to crack... he wants to help her somehow... the love of Christ is in him and he doesn't even know it... i offer to leave out the cards from Calvary and the Refuge to give this girl when he thinks she'll be ready to call for help... he says thanks... he knows the Lord is real, he just doesn't "see" Him yet... and i know the Lord has him in His hands by the slow and steady progress of his growing up and becoming a man... makes me happy and sad all at the same time... bittersweet...

the girl from CR has found a temporary place to stay... God is good all the time even though we are messed up... i know i can count on Him when i can count on nothing else...

see you soon!
