Homiez Update:
Great day today i must say. If we went out for any reason it was to talk to Octavia today.
After her and her husband Steve lived homeless 7 years and got an apartment and had a babyand off the street last summer. Well i saw Steve drinking under the bridge and had Octavia an baby with them. Steve wouldnt talk or make eye contact but Octavia wanted to know how to get back into church "redeem" herself.
We talked and i answered her questions and we all prayed. She said she could talk to us becasue we know how it is, how she was and not feel judged. Its nice to know that we have that report with folks down there.
We prayed again with group and a woman who was attacked and beaten, right. So after talking we find out she was thrown out of a bar, which is fine but they dont need to lie to get us to pray for them...you know?
So camps have been abandoned and there are tents left everywhere , some places look like a war zone.
We had some Homiez tell us not to go to the 5th street bridge that they were run off and nobody lived there any more so , so many folks told us NOT to go so we went and guess what? we found a guy living there. A guy that is selfish and they all dont like. Too funny.
We found camps with water already and we asked for intel and they said that a church called Rio out of Maryville came out and done that. Cool, as long as the Homiez are being served.
Met a guy in Village two, ok, he has a tent, cot with springs, mattress, grocery food, all kinds of stuff. Even has a relative that comes and takes him laces, yet Homeless? Im thinking if hes gonna use his relative then why not put his tent at the guys house? just sayin'
Also met a Vet who was very adament aut telling me he didnt trust nobody and had a gun in his bag. ok, cool, now i know who to watch for, right?
As usual Gavin gets propositioned by the local hookers and yes we laugh at him for it. I guess its hard being that sexy. Hahahaha (he wont read this he aint on FB)
Sometimes i look around and listen tot he birds and traffic under the bridges and in the rain and snow i see the beauty of living there, but then i see the horror of the drugs and addictions and violence that comes with that beauty. Hoplessness runs rampant.
To do what we do and go the places we do you really have to have a strange sence of humor.
Pray for the Homiez, pray for the dealers pray for us...the uWo
