I know that I moved to a different city almost 4 months ago and both my mom and I no idea why on Earth would God want us to move to this city. I never dreamed or thought of moving here in my lifetime.
My mom and I really have been stepping out in faith and trusting in what God wants us here; for a reason. Both my mom and I have ran into other Christians a.k.a Jesus Believers that believe the same thing we do. These people that we have met have also stepped out in faith in God and trusting God has them here for a reason and these other people would of never came out here and lived here in this city too.
All these people that my mom and I keep meeting have the same vision, ideas, dreams, and goals that we have.
I tell my mom I am confused to why God wants us here. Sometimes I like think a group of us people are going to get together and turn this city upside down for the better. God is up to something weather my guessing is right or not.
I know God is up to something and it's starting to come together. I literally have dreams, visions, ideas, and goals for this city. I am stoked to see what happens.
It’s becoming clearer of what God wants us to do for this city. These vision, dreams, ideas, and goals are becoming more vividly clearer everyday. I am ready to go after this whole hearty with or without a group people helping me.
The people I have been meeting in this city and getting to know are just awesome. Some of the stories these people have told me just breaks my heart but yet in return inspires and motivates me even more to help this city. I know these people are in my life for a reason. Weather they are to stay or leave my life I can say that I been super motivated and inspired to give back to this one particular city I am in.
I mean this city has over 600+ homeless people, prostitutes that get dumped here, drug addicts, and much more. Cops don't care. I have talked to these particular people like saying hi or smile at them. They may not do anything in return but that’s okay. I just pray that God radically changes there life and this city I am in. I also know that everyone has a story to why they are where they are in their life weather it was good or bad. Everyone deserves a second change at life. I can only imagine some of the stories these people have. I see it everyday in this city. It’s very sad. This city needs change very badly and urgently.
I also want to take the time to talk to them and ask them their story and tell them about God. I will be the hands and feet of Jesus. I will be the example for this city.
Yesterday I talked to a very nice homeless woman. She's was at least in her 40's.
She began to tell me how she going to go catfish fishing in this rain and all. I am like good-luck. She also asked me if it was good to eat catfish and I told her I have no idea. She also asked me if I wanted to smoke a joint “which is weed” I told her no politely and told her smoking isn't for me she then proceeded to ask my mom the same thing and she said no. What threw me off is she was wearing a heavy rain coat as if she worked for the city but I doubt it cause she was pushing a shopping cart around. I came inside and my mom told me this was the same lady that yelling at some homeless men going crazy. I am different from most people. I instantly thought what has this women been through and what is going on in her life that has made her homeless. When I look in people's eyes I know when they are in pain or when something is going on in their life and I don't hesitate to talk to them. I pray to God telling him to radically change this woman’s life weather I am their to change her life or someone else does it.
I want to start a new thing where I go find 1-4 homeless people a week or if they in a group that’s okay. I want to hear there story. I want to sit with them and talk to them about God if I am able too. I want to make sandwiches and get water and go out there and eat a meal with them and just be there with them. You know when a homeless person saids "God Bless You" you know they know God.
You can tell me I am crazy and it's dangerous but you know it starts with one caring and compassionate person to make a difference in someones life. I don't even know if my mom will approves of the this idea but you know what it doesn't matter if she approves or not because when God tells me to go and do something about these homeless I am going to do it weather my mom approves or not.
I think this city is way worse than Sacramento and Stockton. This city needs help asap.
I have my projects, ideas, dreams, goals, visions all in the works right now. I'm not having these ideas, goals, dreams, vision just to have them; I having them for a reason and its all becoming clear now… :D
I also love listening to others stories about what happened to them and how they came to know God; homeless people or not. It truly motivates and inspires me to go after my goals; I have goals for this city even more than ever.
I was working on this christian non-profit organization and God literally pulled me away from it for now and now I am working on other projects. I am excited. God is really changing my goals and desires that he wants me to accomplish. It's okay though. God has it under control and knows he knows what he's doing. I'm trusting him in this time.
P.S. Prayers would be awesome through this time. This is part of the reason why I have been busy and haven't wrote a blog in a while.
God is awesome and works in very strange ways….
Until next time,
Rachel
