Its only been two days of me getting back to being a stay at home and well let me say, hmmmm.
Its going to be harder and we are going to stuggle, i think that is a given in this time of a bad stench in the air of the economy. Oh well life goes on with or with out me so I guess I better go with the flow.

So I know that the enemy will try to steal our joy when we are doing what we are suppose to be doing. Last sat we went to an outreach in the portland area of louisville. Which is an older part of Louisville and is a rough and poverty stricken area. When you drive to those parts of town you immediately feel the opression that the area carries. Its like you drive into a dome where Satan thrives. That make me hate the devil even more. To witness first hand the things that he tries to bring people down with. Wow I could go on and on. Its not my first time in this type of area. When I would go to Mexico, ciudad Juarez we would go to the red light district and actually go into several crack houses and minister, love on, and feed the people that were there. Its neat where God will take you if you just let him. Once I was in a Mexican prision, yeah a white gal in a Mexican prision. All I can say is God moved in a mighty way that Day, I realized my sin and hurts are no different than anyone elses, we are all in need of a savior.

so back to the Portland Outreach, one of my favorite times was holding up signs and trying to gain attention to the people in the area. I like to observe people and one of those people I will never forget. You know we should really try and understand what people go through and where they have been so we can start to understand why they do the things they do. So I saw this lady in the distance and she came walking up and lets say she was wearing short shorts and a shirt that showed some skin. I like to look people in the eye, even if its only for a glance because it does something. I feel like I get a taste of their life and their pain. She was a sad lady, but hard shell on the outside. She came in and got some things, stuffed animals and left, then she walked back down the street and left. A few minuites later a car drove by and she was in the back seat and with 2 men in the front. I saw the blank stare of her face and it saddned me. I have seen a lot of things while working in Mexico and just in general, I pay attention to the afar off and I see things that most would not even notice. People catch my attention and then at that point I know that its a devine appointment from the father, because he is looking after his children to be obedient and to do his word, so people will catch our attention.

Yes people with dress suggestive, people will act crazy when it comes to getting free stuff, people will be rotten, people will dissapoint, but we have to remember what has made them this way and why am I hear at that appointed time.

Be open, dont judge, dont make fun of others, you never know what they have been through and if u went through what they did, you might be where they are.

Have compassion and shine a light in the Dome filled with satans plans, where Jesus is satan will flee:)
