(no subject)
So, I just had an interesting experience....
I went outside to spend time with God because it's a beauitful night tonight (the day was beautiful too). So I did and I had an amazing time. I even wrote something, not sure that I'd call it poetry but it's something. Actually I didn't really write it myself, it was more God speaking to me personally and I just wrote it down. Anyway, so I was just talking to God and things were cool and I was just marvelling at this gorgeous evening and this guy starts walking up and I'm thinking "Oh no, don't stop and talk, just keep going." Part of that was because a.) didn't recognize his voice and b.) I heard him use the f word a lot and said oh she's got a f---in' Bible. So yeah needless to say, he decided to sit down and start talking to me.
So, he starts asking me about what I'm doing then he makes sure to say he's not drunk, only a little buzzed, which I guess is somehow supposed to make me feel better that a stranger came up to me at night to talk to me? I don't know. Anyway, so he asks me if I go to Bible study, "No, I lead one." And He asks what I'm reading (and I hadn't actually read anything, but saying that seemed to confuse him) and then looked at wherever i had stuck my journal into my Bible and it was in Matthew. I had highlighted the Beatitudes and asked him if he knew what that was and he said he had grown up Roman Catholic where they shove it down your throat but now he goes to a nondenominational church...Christ Fellowship. Ironically, that's where I go. But then he decided to confess to me that he's been homeless for a year now and doesn't really go anymore. He lost his business and doesn't have a truck. Oh yeah, I forgot, about 2 min (if that) into the conversation, he asked for money. I didn't have any which is good so I didn't have to lie. (he didn't need any more drinks). But yeah so after continually making me feel uncomfortable for a good 10 minutes, he decided to go to his boss's house because he had to work at 7 in the morning. At least, these are all things that he told me. I asked him if there was anything I could pray for him about and basically he wants to get out of West Palm Beach. But I know he needs more than just prayer for that. I'm also greatful that he was harmful. Fortunately, I had my cell phone on me, which I usually don't when I go to have God time, but I forgot I had it with me I guess. Anyway.........I should be heading to bed soon. Later. Adios~~~~~~~~~~~
