Kinda difficult hitting the streets today. Death is such a weird thing. Makes you think and remember. We went straight to the girls today after looking for the guys and not one of them was to be found. The girls greeted us and you could see how LG's death had affected them. Not many of them were there. EM was absent, thankfully. SJ was there but not drunk.
I got to talk to SJ and got to share the Gospel with her and gave her a bible. We generally don't give out bibles unless we've talked to the person and it's a bible that has newsprint paper for the pages and not fine paper so that they can't roll it up and smoke weed with it. I had been thinking about LG's three kids and how they now had to deal not only with her death but with what she did when she was alive and how everyone now knows. The mockings they would have to deal with, the name callings. And when her husband remarries, how would the stepmom treat them knowing that their mother was a woman who worked the streets? I posed these questions to SJ. I told her that so many of them say they're there working for their kids but really, have they thought of the repercussions if their kids found out and how it would affect them? Were they really helping their kids or making things worse for them? She listened and when the cops came she made me walk with her so that it was not obvious that she was waiting for clients. I walked and talked. We prayed for healing for her coughing. But she wasn't ready to receive Jesus. She wanted the bible though. I just pray that the bible gets used as a bible by her. She said she will call me when she gets a new phone chip. Please pray that she does.
LG's death hit everyone hard. It hit me hard too because I could see through her façade and saw the pain within that she tried so hard to hide with her hard as nails exterior. It was hard and weird being there tonight and knowing that one was gone. And the fact that many of them weren't there tonight revealed that it hit them hard too and they are probably thinking of making changes in their lives.
Please pray for them all, pray that through this, they would be open to the Word of God, to truly wanting to change their lives around. Please also pray for me to be able to distinguish and remember faces and names. Thank you.
