Learning

So this is my first day of blogging which is a little foreign to me but here it goes… i know i don’t have all the answers but it would be nice if i did. just got back from fall break and I’m totally wiped with keeping up with school work but  i called rusty today and it went to voicemail but he called back later and said he would like to meet me and looks forward to it. Also i went to Wal-Mart originally to play tag inside but ended up just getting food and on the way out as me and my friends were leaving i saw a young guy in raggedy clothes. We went past him and i yelled out "a person we can talk to" while we were in the car and i told them to turn around. I asked them if anyone wanted to come, one agreed and we made our way. We came up to this guy and he had a nose ring like a bull. He was very nice and friendly and we started talking to him. He was just a wanderer hanging out with friends from state to state. He was a foster kid and his adopted parents raised 5 other foster children. This guy had nothing. He hated working and decided he never wanted to so his friends go around playing blue grass music and he goes along for the ride. He was just looking for gas money my friend gave him $10 and i gave him $4. The guy was just really thankful and it was just really hard to get him to talk about his spirituality. But he said he was atheist and he was trying to not be offensive but said the reason why he probably didn’t believe in anything was because of hypocritical Christians. That one really struck a nerve with me. I hate that, when God just wants to claim his children but another child dissuades. I want to be able to change that one day but this guy was content with his life, so he said, but i ran in to grab a pen and a piece of paper, wrote my name and number and gave it to him and said when he has questions about God or Christianity call me and if he is ever in Virginia and needs some  help call me and  i would.  There was nothing that i could do to turn him to Christianity which i understand; i know that is the job of the Holy Spirit and no one takes credit to that but God. i wish there was something i could have said that offered more help but at the end of the day i am humbled and know i am still learning... All I can do is to continue to pray for him and that continual messengers would be sent so he knows he matters to God
