WEll I guess I spoke a little too soon 
One of the guys we have been picking up and carting to church decided today he wants some of what we got 
He has decided to seek salvation, so we must have been a good influence somewhere along the way even through all our craziness and mouthiness lately. The Lord works in mysterious ways for sure. So in short church was AMAZING even though we missed the first 15 minutes 
DH was ill, and DD was being DD, and neither of them went. Me & niecey picked up one of the guys and took him, and it paid off! I LOVE seeing someone turn their lives over to God, and watching them take the first little baby steps, it's what I live for! I know the walk is difficult, but I also know the rewards, and love to see someone making a fresh start on life. My new "little brother" has been through a lot, and this is a major life turning point for him......I can't wait to see what God has in store for him

That is why I love you so much sis 
I'm glad I had a good morning too! It sure didn't start out that way I hate being late, and most times, I'd just rather stay home than be late, but I was in one of my stubborn moods this morning and was going even if I didn't get there in time to hear the sermon

I am so bummed The guy who I was talking about yesterday never got to talk to the pastor, and now he's in jail on a bogus crap charge that I KNOW, SEEN WITH MY ON EYES, he is not guilty of that charge. He's guilty. Guilty of another charge, but nto what they took him in on and it's felony versus misdemeanor. And he's TRYIN, and I have seen that with my own eyes. I just feel so horrible that I can't do anything about it. Maybe it's best he get the whole thing out of the way, but why now? What timing 
This is so very frustrating. The worst part, is if they'd never left the shelter, neither of them would be in jail right now, buuuuuuuuuut, they got kicked out, and my ex buddy the director is partially responsible for them being in there. Some "Christians" make me want to scream. The old me wants to go thump him in the head with a brick, and the new me just feels incredibly sorry for him because it's his eternal life at stake for being such a snake in the grass. I have done everything I can, I put the brakes on a few things that were in the works for him that would have looked bad on the church, but I can't undo what he has done otherwise. I just wanna cry. I wish Jesus would come back NOW and end all the lying and cheating and evil in the world. My heart aches for my brothers in jail, and the other in his own self made prison he doesn't even realize he is in. What a horrific Monday.
I'm going to do some quiet time and bible study and PRAY, for my brothers, for this stankin stupid ugly putrid world and the way it works, and for my church and the shelter. The world has sucker punched me in the gut today and I'M TELLIN DADDY ON THEM ALL!!!!

WBF, even though this seems like the worst thing that could happen to your friend, remember, God is STILL in control. And, while we can't any good in this situation, God has a reason for it. It may be it's the only way he'll meet someone who will help him in his Christian walk in a way that you never could.
