Hi gang:Quiet night here at NDF, so I thought I would share a little bit about what has been going on in my life as of this past week.Late last week I go for coffee at my usual place, Dunkin Donuts, and I run into a acquaintence there. Not really a good friend, but someone I know from here and there, and I have always enjoyed visiting with her. I say Hello and I notice it looks like she has been crying. I ask her what is wrong, and for the next half hour I hear all about her troubles, bad choices, and bad luck. She is homeless. She is there asking Tim, the owner of the place, if she can park her van there for the night to sleep in. My mind reels. What to do, what to do. I can't very well NOT invite her to come and stay for the night, as that would be rude, and if it were me in that situation, I would want someone to open their heart and help me. On the other hand, I dont know this girl all that well, and I am pretty funny when it comes to someone I dont know in my house for even a few hours. I say a small prayer in my head, and God tells me it will be okay, and I offer her a place to stay for the night. Needless to say, she is grateful. It wasnt to bad having her there, she slept alot, and took a needed shower. I fed her from my small supplies and she shared with me alot of her life. Im not a big talker, hahaha, I know what your thinking, but really, Im not. I'm like 'Really? as I look to the sky and see GOD smiling at me. Yet another call from God to help someone in need in the same week. I dont know this girl, dont want to know this girl, have no idea why she is going to the shelter house, nor do I care. All I know is I am this girls only hope to get where she is going to start a new life. Sighhhhhhh Here we go again. I agree, and as she gets off the bus and heads to my car with my friend, I want to run. This girl looked RUFF. Tattoos, piercings, and when she spoke, she sounded like a man. I am not kidding. She even introduced herself as Moose. How charming huh? Well Moose explained she was starting over in her life, and was getting away from violence. Thats why she was going to the shelter house. I pretty much just listened, but I did get many thank yous for giving her a ride to her destination. We arrived, and she jumped out, happy as a kid, and I know I'll never see her again, and that is fine with me. LOLIm home alone now, for the moment, until God sends me someone else I need to take somewhere, give up my couch too for a week, possibly feed, or who knows what else. I guess I just find it hard to say No when I know it's God asking me to do something. Thanks for reading. Pam
