Who am I?
Who am I? I had a reassurance in Mexico about who I am. We had the chance to go to a homeless shelter there for elderly men. These men were people who there family didn't want, they lived out on the street for there whole life. Some of them knew who they were others didnt. You could pick out everyone who knew who they were and others who didnt. The men who didnt know who they were would reject everything we tryed to give to them (blankets, singing, and working around the shelter.) The men who knew who they were took in everything we gave them, and gave us back stuff. The men who didnt softened up and came and listened to us sing and talked to us. The differences between them is that some knew that people loved them and most important God loves them and cares about them. Then others had no hope and wanted to die and hated where they were staying. This place they were staying at they had the choice when they wanted to leave but none of them left. I am a Daughter of God and those Men are Sons of God and he loves all of us and will hold are hand through everything, good and bad he is there for us. I was born in these last days to be a strong follower of Christ, and to spread his glorious word. I am kind of a shy person in tell I get to know the person then I will slowly open. I dont really have the courage to go out and start being a missionary to my friends that I dont know the best. I need to start helping my friends to go on a mission, and to come back to Christ.

I am so glad that you had a wonderful time in Mexico. You and I are both shy at the beginning....Then we cant shut up. I love you!
ReplyDeleteChey!! Looks like you experienced a ton of things! I missed you as a guy in the Biggest Loser missed his sugars while you were gone, but since you had a good moments there, its fine.
ReplyDeleteChey! Sounds like you had an amazing experience! It's interesting that you can tell when someone knows who they are because they have that confidence and hope that they can make their life better. And you have a strong testimony that God is always there for us.(:
ReplyDeleteyou're the best in the world, that's who you are!
ReplyDeleteI really like how you pointed out that the people who didn't know who they were, rejected whatever you give them. people who really know who they are are probably getting help from the savior, so they are more open to getting and giving help to and from others.
Superb post. I loved how you took more home from Mexico than a just 100 peso backpack. It's interesting how you talked about how people in the homeless shelter either chose to be happy and grateful or to be bitter and angry.
