Chasing with a Reckless Abandon

not actually people from story

Today we were able to connect one of the homeless women from the bible study Ken and I lead on Monday nights with her son in San Diego . . . Caroline is a sweet lady in her (well, it’s hard to tell – living on the streets will age you quickly), I would say 50’s or 60’s and has cancer.  Over the past week she has chosen to finally open up to one of the other ladies about some things and after bible study this week – it was brought to my attention – the only thing she needed was a way to get to her son.  He would take her in!

I told the lady who was telling me all of this . . . Caroline needs to talk with Pastor 7 about her desire.    I have prayed for her and asked God to make things work out for her and God has just kept her on my heart.  Today Ken and I were talking about her and the fact God continued to have her on my heart . . . so he and I checked into a bus ticket from ATL to San Diego ($220.00 over 2 day) and a plane ticket ($149 to $184 Airtrain) . . . Follow all of this up – Weatherly came and asked me, “daddy, what is San Diego?”  She must have heard us talking about the whole thing . . . I told her one of our homeless friends needed somewhere to live and San Diego was where her family is and there was a place there.  I told her we just have to figure out the way to take care of it.  Weatherly told me, “daddy, you know what it takes to make a home and to help people – you can fix her problems!”  DONE DEAL!  Thank you God for childlike faith and a 4 year old who Loves God through Loving Others . . . I called Pastor 7!

Pastor 7 has talked with Caroline’s son and he said, “please send my momma home” . . . So momma will be going home.  Granny (Nikki’s grandmother) asked me how are you going to do that – you don’t have a job?  God is . . . but he can use me or us.  It would take 20 of us (being what the church should be) to give $10 and that would cover the flight, seat, baggage charge, taxes and fees or God will use my family with out a job I told her.  CAROLINE IS GOING HOME – GOD WILLING!
