uncle mike.

What a terrible person i am. Tonight i had the opportunity to hang out with someone in need and i a was hesitant. I was nervous. I was judgemental. I was wrong. It was like a homeless person throwing himself at me saying, hey i can take you home. My girl friend has a car. It is funny cause i think that the place i am in is so much higher than him. What is really funny is that i am the carless person and this woman who is "scum" actually is better than myself. Jesus. This is so crazy to me. I have am trying to have a heart for the homeless and the poor, the addicted and abused. It hasn't come really yet. Tonight was the perfect example. My uncle who is an alcoholic and what i can tell is a little off is the one who offered me a ride to take me home. i was so nervous and scared. HE was offering and i was nervous that he was going to do something crazy. He is good enough for my dad. They are friends, I am trying to love people like him and not be scared of them. What an opportunity. I was a bit nervous getting in the car tonight, then i ended up having a normal conversation with my uncle. Not an alcoholic. The Lord is teaching me in real ways. what a freaking crazy night.
