One day weekend.

Sunday was another flare up with Timmy, a story for another day. Since last week I have been attempting to track down "Lacie" the 14 year old girl who lost her premature baby. She's been avoiding seeing me, her mom thinks because she's scared to talk, to have that freedom. I was doing some calls with my friend and one led us to the clinic. I was surprised to see Lacie there with her friend. I told her I had been looking for her, I was happy to hear she knew. This means she knows I care. I confirm a trip to the beach this weekend... I'm not taking no for an answer, and she agrees.
I'm happy to be being tossed around between Shelby and my friend "A" who works with young kids an new moms. In between their schedules today I had some time to visit with a girl who came to see if we had medicine to make her feel better. She wasn't feeling well and was sent home from school, but came to the yellow house. We had nothing but tea and I had time, so we sat and talked. She is in 11th grade, wants to be a doctor, loves Jesus! He is her "hero and mentor" :) She is staying with a family friend, but needs foster parents. She has no family or support aside from all her "auntie" can provide. A sweet bright girl who I just wanna give a home to.
After she left for home some girls who hang by the "tulip" flats were hanging out, sitting on the tires. I walked over having nothing to do, and began to chat. One of them I had told I would bring to the beach, and a few of her friends. Sassy I call her cuz she is quite that. So we sit and talk, play music, and sing haha. A few more girls walk up and bring us a fruit that grows from the trees, it's yellow, sour and yummy. I can't help but notice two of the girls staring at me weird and I tease them, we all are teasing each other am laughing. I ask "why are you staring at me like I'm an alien?! Haha last I checked I didn't have green skin." They laughed "because your a white girl sitting with us, just hanging out... It never happens". I was shocked. These girls live right outside the yellow house and are shocked that I am happy to be just hanging out with them. It's strange for me, I'm brand new here and apparently crossing new lines that are invisible and were never really there but in a mental way. I love it. Now all I want to do is just go find a million girls hang out all day with them and end with a bible study. It's so simple but seems like an effective way to reach people.
New exciting things God is bringing amongst the group! For now....
