You ever simply, …....Just can not understand
why that you could possibly be going into something? That's the
way that I felt when the folks sent me back to the mission downtown.
I believe that I did some things to get me there a little quicker,
but I also know that God overrides any decision that they think that
they are making. Psalms 37:23 tells me that for a fact!!
(23 The steps of a good man are
ordered by the Lord:
and he delighteth in his way.)
Part of the requirement for city rescue
mission is for me to go back to McDuff for two days and work. I go on
Thursday's and Friday's of my own choice. I work in the kitchen, and
have ever since I first entered in. Actually,.........I love
it,............Because this is the kind of work that I have been
doing most of my life. Everything that I need to do comes so easy to
me. This is definitely my comfort zone. I am a quick, efficient, and a self-started who requires minimal
supervision if any.
I really enjoy going down there on the days
that I need to go. The main excitement for me is my immediate
supervisor. Whom I will call Big Grif. Big Grif is something else
when you get to know him. He has a real whacked out sense of humor.
It's about the way he sees Things,...........Well,...........It
almost make me feel like I am sane!! OK,.......OK,.....I know that
is a bit much!!! But I can always hope!!
Seriously,..........He
is a Godly man, just trying to make it in a world full of corruption.
We talk often, and he always brings out a point that I never realized
before. I try to do the same with him. Oops,....Here is another
one,.............Proverbs
27:17....(17 Iron
sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.)
I honestly wish
that I could spend more time with him, but his schedule is very
hectic. There is always somebody waiting to see him in his office,
and those jokers seem to always have some plan in store for him to
do!! He also has a full life at home. Yep,..............That's
right,.........He has a beautiful wife, and six kids, or maybe I
should say babies to keep him busy.
Wait a minute,...................Didn't you
start off with one story,..and all of a sudden took a left turn
without a signal? Yeah,.........So do you have a point that
yer tryin' to make? I'm always all over the road. Half the time I
ain't sure what I am doing!!
I'm glad that your paying attention, and I’ll
go back to finish. Well,......I was on the right road, because this
had to do with a conversation that I was having with one of the guys.
He made the statement that State street would not be in his future.
If they tried to send him back that he would go, ….....But not to
State street!!
I started talking to him from my
heart,......And low and behold if the answer didn't trickle from my
own lips that I had been wondering about. At least part of
it did...............This is what I said: Oh no,........Don't look
at it like that. It's really not that big of a deal. You
should be so lucky to go back on your own. You will not believe the
difference that it makes when you go back into the hell zone with as
much God inside of you, as you will have if that day comes. You will
not even get caught up in that madness,................And you can
get a chance to see how much that you have grown...
I am not sure what I was doing at that
point,................Because I was dumbfounded!! I am pretty
sure that I had one of those looks on my face that don't surface that
often. Honestly,.....I had just had a epiphany from my own
heart, while sharing with another student.
It makes total sense now..............On to the
next adventure!!
…..........Much Love
