Thanks so much to Tina & Ant for allowing Miracle to visit with her sister Skittles (Tina) they had a blast and I had to bring her by this morning because she whined when we came by and she gave Skittles morning kisses and Ant the snacks you left with me allowed me to pass them on to Jess (coincidentally what we called our youngest son Jesse). She has been homeless about 10 years and has this 4 year old Scrappy. I had clean shirts, shorts and underwear for her so she was able to go into Raley's and change and I knew there was a tough woman just waiting for my favorite shirts a Raiders Tshirt, a Colorado Tshirt and a concert Tshirt i had been holding on to for awhile, she couldn't choose so she got all three.
I watched Scrappy while she changed. When she got back someone dropped off 4 tacos from Jack In The Box, I said "that's God working".
We talked about her not being able to see her 13 year old son, I reassured her we could work on that because someone is underestimating this incredible soul.
Then someone dropped off a bag of Gatorade, Lemon Soda & Cookies, I said "see God again".
Then as I got ready to leave I couldn't find my bus pass I had just spent what I had left on, I searched everything I over and over and headed to the bus stop looking again. I remembered I had a hoodie and brought it back to her and as I laid it next to Scrappy and told him not to eat it I heard Jess say "im over here, come over", i met her halfway and she said "i looked down after you left and found this, it was a wad of ones and fives, she handed me five dollar bills and i just smiled and said "yeah he did it again".
I got back to the bus stop and reached into my left pocket and guess what I found - my bus pass. I thanked God and smiled as I went home and picked up Miracle and hugged her as we slept in a dumpster area last night because the model area I was building a grĂ ss roots resource center at has been kind of taken over by an irresponsible person I have helped time and time again although he repeatedly steals from me, creates choas contrary to my vision for that safe space, screams horrible things to his estranged wife which I can't reward as I cannot tolerate dometic violence of any kind, has assaulted me several times when i am either in a position not to respond or been sick, has just put every person around Rosville Road at being swept again so he wins, i cant continue to be delayed so we are mobile until i decide on the next step, just another of Gods challenges. :(
