rollercoaster

life is like a roller coaster it goes at all different speeds and lengths, when everything is running smoothly and going according to Gods plan your going up hill and its a smooth ride because everything is working properly. but when things are going horribly wrong and your letting the devil in then your going down hill and a lot of the time youll get a head ache from the rush, and that rush is almost as if your caught in sin, you like it for a minute but there is a problem, something always gets you in the end; like a headache, or maybe even a tummy ache. life has its ups and downs, but with God around its always and uphill smooth sailing ride! "trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding."

challenges we go through!

Friday the 25th of June, i was with street level witnessing in minneapolis downtown on hennepin and 10th street! when i felt like God was telling me to go talk to a young gentlemen on the bench, so i told my leader who i was with, and they gave me the go ahead! :) so as i was walking i felt like God was saying " no matter what happens ill always be with you " and im like okay thanks God i already knew that but thanks anyways! so i walked up to him and i asked if i could sit on the bench with him and hes like sure! so i did. and i was just sitting there for a minute and im like God what should i say, i have nothing right now, so i introduced my self, " hey my name is Kierra, im out here witnessing and you seemed to be a little bored/ lonely so i thought i would come and talk to you, do you come here often? he replied " i live here im homeless" i said "o im so sorry, do you have a job or anything? " " he said" "yeah i sometimes Kill people" i thought okay this guy is either A. crazy or B. he maybe is in the military. but i didnt think much of it so i kept talking to him, and i said do you have a family, all of a sudden he went silent. and i felt like at that moment i was supposed to tell him that Jesus loves him and that God can forgive you from your past, and then i told him also about the Cross and the significance for it! AND every now and then he would flash his shirt/jacket open and i was like what in the world, and i kept telling him Jesus loves him, all of a sudden i see he has a Gun in his jacket/ shirt and i see he is reaching for it so i grab his arms and i look at him in the eye saying " God doesnt want you to do this, and i dont think you do either, Jesus loves you" and he started tearing up! and then he reached again for the Gun and i did the same as before telling him Jesus loves him, and that God doesnt want him to do this ect. and then all of a sudden he grabs the Gun and points it at me, and i keep telling him Jesus loves him, Jesus loves you, he can forgive you. and he leans over to whisper somethign in my ear and he says " i killed my family" and then he cocks the gun, and i think to myself either im going to live with Jesus today or God your going to protect me, so i keep telling him JEsus loves you Jesus loves you Jesus loves you, and then all of a sudden i hear God telling me, " your done here you did all that you could do" and he put the Gun away and as i was walking away i told him jesus loves him, i later found out that he had 5 or 6 guns with him hidden in the bushes and all i can say is God was with me that night!
