EM has been regularly showing up for her discipling session and we talked about her leaving the streets and trusting God to provide for her as she takes this step of obedience. She told me that she has made nothing on the streets the last week and is thinking that perhaps God is making it so that she will leave and look for another job. I definitely agree there and told her so. She's scared, never having done any other work before and thoughts of inadequacy paralyze her. She also has a debt that I know God will pay when she takes a step of obedience to walk away from the streets. She wants to meet twice a week now so that she gets more Word in her as she still has a hard time battling the thoughts that come and tell her she is a fraud.
LJP is fighting hard against addiction to drugs. He is the one who had left the centre but has been staying at his mom's house this whole time and he has called us or we have called him to maintain contact and accountability. His aunt is helping him as well by teaching him the Word and the alphabet and he started his first discipling session yesterday. He too wants to meet twice a week as he wants to be accountable and more in the Word. For him, the fight is also sentimental as he is in love with a girl who doesn't seem to be in love with him (I will meet with her tomorrow to talk with her) and he is calling on God for help him every time the anxiety to look for drugs come. The hard part for him is that he can't read (we are also helping him learn to read along with his aunt) and we have to really make the bible as simple as we can for him because he has a short attention span and also a brain that needs to be healed from years of abuse. He wants to and he fights to learn but we also need to learn to help him learn in a manner that is simple but impactful so that he can retain all in his memory.
We really need your prayers for these two. They both have huge purposes and they know it and are fighting hard to walk on the narrow path. I have told them both that many people are praying for them so they are not alone in their fight. They need to know that, need to know they are not in this alone.
Thank you so much.
