You have come a long way since you wrote of these expeirences. El Turo is no longer around. You surely had a good influence on him, in your careful approach, and showed him a picture of God. You were right. That is the people of the neighborhood to whom you have been sent. You did well. Continue showing God’s heart to Palo Chino, just be cautious with the wolves and the bulls. God bless.

Thanks so much, Aimee. This has been a wild season of learning and growing… kind of a learn-as-you-go thing. It is remarkable how God has used the desert to open up our minds and sharpen our perspective. We have never felt more alive or more challenged. Your encouragement is priceless.

Hey ya’all! Man (and Woman) I’m proud of you both. To take the risks and be all that God is calling you to do. Don’t ever underestimate the power of God working in you and through you. I think somewhere in the bible, Jesus used to hang with people like you are describing. He wants us to be that light to that darkness, he wants us to expose the darkness with the second greatest commandment “love thy neighbor as thyself” even though it is quite uncomfortable. We northerners are way to comfortable in our cush life styles. When I was in lockdown in the prisons, mingling amongst the people that are lost,hurting,searching and some broken, God reminded me, “therefore by the grace of God go I”. There is hope in knowing that God has placed in each of us a gift that can make a difference in a person or a group of peoples life. So continue to fight the good fight and allow God to expose that Light that will change the world. Use that discernment that God has given you and depend on him in all things. God bless and keep you.

“It left me with some hickey-country-hippie-townie way of thinking”
It is a great way of thinking. I am totally on the same page haha. I am from a small town. Parents are environmental planners … but at the same time … kind of love the city. It is a good way to go about life. I get frustrated with christians that are like super hard-core conservative. Not that there is anything wrong with being conservative … but to the point where they don’t assosiate with people of lower status. Or people who are involved in less that acceptable (by a christian’s standards) When it gets to the point that people dont want to talk to other people because they judge them … that makes me so discusted. I was in el paso the other weekend. And a lady i was with was sititng with me. There was this other lady going through the check out and she had a Carlos Santana shirt on. She said “hm. santana.” and i replied with a “I like santana, he is an amazing guitarist and reminds me of growing up” and then the lady turned around and she had a pentagram on a necklace. It was at this point that our minds took two completely different roads. Mine went straight to “i would love to know her story. sit down and talk with her. Tell her about my life, listen to hers, and share god’s glory” and she said “Ah. a pentagram. you know what THAT means.” I got really frustrated at this woman’s overbearing judgement. How can Christians claim to love christ and live for him, when the are so judgemental? Jesus loved on everybody. EVERYBODY. we are called be like him. So why aren’t we? Drives me insane. Anyways. I like this blog. it made me happy. Keep reaching out to these people. We really must hang out soon.
