Sixth Week in San Francisco

Can you believe it? It's been more than a month since I've been here. If something were to happen right now and everybody get sent home; I would say it was all worth it to spend this past month just knowing about God and His love for the lost. I think the one thing that I get is that God's love is unconditional. I know that most of us know that, but do all of us embrace it? For some reason sometimes I felt like I don't deserve that love and I have all right to feel like that cause in fact I don't deserve it, but by God's grace He loves me even though I've broken His heart so many times.

I'm sure the parents know what I'm talking about. A lot of us kids, especially teenagers, have caused you grief and sorrow a lot of times. It's somehow hard not to rebel for us teenager, but in the end of it all. You parents wants the best for us. Even though sometimes we kids don't understand. Us kids can feel like we know what's for us and maybe us kids are right, but that doesn't change the fact that our parents wants what 's best for us. I realized that this week and I'm still realizing it. So... First of all... Thanks Mom and Dad for your guidance. I'm grateful for what you've been doing.

So... Let's talk about what has happened this week. We learned about Spiritual Warfare. I know, I know... First time I heard it I thought it was going to be those weird stuff with casting out demons. Well... It's still like that, but I'm talking about the Spiritual Warfare that's going on in our everyday life. GASP! We fight in Spiritual Warfare everyday? Yes! It shocks me as much as it shocks you. As a Christian, we're walking opposite of the world, that itself is a Spiritual Warfare. We're being attacked by the enemy on our walk with God. Sometimes we let them gets us. One example is letting what the world tells us becomes truth. What the world tells about us is a lie.
Ex: You're ugly, you're not worth it
Sometimes we let those lies get to us. How do you fight those lies? By simply speaking the truth. God made us to be wonderful. He died for us! If we're not worth it, then why would He go to all the trouble to die for us? One thing to keep in mind that I learn this week is not to focus on the enemy. Keep your focus on God! The enemy is real, but he's not greater than God.

Well... That was intense... On a happier note, ministry went well on Friday. Mike and I went to do our usual prayer station. We walked out of the building and we barely passed 2 blocks before a woman stopped us and asked for prayer. How great is that! When we didn't expect anything, God brought somebody in need. The rest of the day was pretty hard. A woman came up to us to give us money. We told her that we don't play for money and that we don't need it, but she insisted so we got one dollar. We used it to buy a drink.

Basketball ministry on Wednesday is still a hard work in progress. There are more kids coming and we're starting to build a connection with them. I'm just happy that they want to play with us. And on Saturday, we had a Chocolate Galore for the woman in the area. There are at least 100 woman that came. We just simply give them chocolate, hot chocolate, and let them make their own jewelry. We also have a prayer station so they can be prayed. We were just being a blessing to these people.

Thank you for reading and I'll keep updating. Please keep praying for the people in this area. They're still fighting with addictions. Only God is able to change this city. Thank you for the support and the prayer. You guys are welcome to visit also. Just kidding... Well if you guys want to, I'll try to meet you guys. Thank you once again for the support and the prayer. God bless you all!
