Today was another beautiful day in San Diego... despite the weather person's ominous prediction of rain and cool weather, today remained dry and mild. The day started with breakfast, worship, devotional time and then distributing lunch and beverages to many of the homeless men and women living on the streets in the surrounding neighborhoods. It is a sight to see how so many kids, meek and scared just yesterday, are now eagerly engaging in the Lord's work to bring compassion and care to those who need it most. Once again... who better to describe how God is showing up than one of our kids.
There is this man named George, and he is living at the corner of a street called "Broadway". I felt like for some reason God wanted me to go meet this man and to talk to him, so me and Brooke went over to him and I offered him some water, instead of just one bottle I gave him two. I asked him how his day was going and he said that he was having a bad day, so i asked him "why is that" so he starts to talk about how many surgeries he went through, and how he was in some pain because he got shoulder surgery a couple days ago, and it was painful for him to sit on the ground all day, then when he would have to get up to use the bathroom or something his hands would be in so much pain because he would put support on them so that he would not damage his shoulder. so I was thinking "wow this man has been through alot and now I understand why God wanted me to talk to him" I prayed for this man and after I did, I felt really relived to know that I had gotten the chance to pray for George because he really needed it.
