uptown to upland

so... i've been feeling sick for about a week now. no fun. but it isn't the kind of sick that puts you out of work or school. it's that lingering sick that includes no appitite, always being tired and never feeling very good after eating anything.

regardless of sickness... i have exactly one 1 more week left in uptown, before i migrate back to upland. that in a way makes me sick as well, again not the puts you out work or school or work sick (because i do want to return to taylor).

i'm finally getting a style of my own at this ministry. i'm finally getting used to the streets. i'm learning how to know a little bit more of what's going on instead of just knowing what is happening. just when i'm finding where i "fit", i'm leaving.

i think this is the first time i've served and never felt like i shouldn't be in this place at this time. it will be difficult to leave the men that i have fallen in love with; the men that i've connected with and shared my life and my jesus with; the men i won't get to see before i leave. they have changed me probably much more than i have changed them (if that's even the way to put it).

pray for rico, i gave him my jacket on outreach and he came in today to get into treatment. he said because we ran into him, it proved, "there is a god". He said that "we helped save a voice that wouldn't have been heard otherwise".
