Day 13

Last night I went to Kingdom Night, where we go to downtown Denver and sing and talk to people. Before we left, we made these encouragement cards, of which I made three. Near the end of our time, Andrew and Michael were talking about the cashier in Walgreens needing a card, so I joined their little circle to help. Andrew wanted to know what the card should say, so he could see which of his cards it was. Michael said it needed to say something about her being beautiful or perfect. I just grinned and pulled out on of my cards.

On one side I had written: YOU ARE PERFECT

And on the other: "All beautiful you are my darling, there is no flaw in you." from Song of Songs

So we walked into the Walgreens and handed her the card. Andrew told her that we had written them hours before, and this one was meant for her. Then, we walked out. We watched her through the window as she read the card. She got this smile on her face that I can't even describe.

JESUS HIGH!!!!!

Some other stories from last night:

Andrew and a bunch of other people had walked up to a rap war that was being streamed live to YouTube. Two of the guys from our group started battling each other, but instead of bringing each other down, they put in the Bible and Jesus' love.

The kids invited them to a barbecue today, saying they should bring the booze or drugs. Andrew then stepped in and asked if the recording was streaming live. When they said it was, he asked if someone was in pain that they would realize went away. One girl said her back was, so Andrew prayed and her pain was gone. She screamed, so was so shocked. A boy said his knees hurt, and Andrew made sure to say that it was the power of Jesus healing them. He prayed and the boy's pain was gone as well.

In the end they got invited to the barbecue again, but this time they were told to bring chips or juice. I think five of them are going tonight.

Another story was this homeless man came over and two of the Korean girls spent an hour talking to him. Another one of the girls from our group who used to do drugs was talking to a girl who then started smoking, and our girl told her to stop, and in the end took the drugs away from her and threw them away after talking to her.
