Day 2 Degage Ministries Marquez
Today was kind of different because Ron wasn't there. Instead their was a lady who worked there a couple days. She didn't know that we were here yesterday, but we got things sorted out. There were't lots of people there and most of them were seated waiting to go in one of the rooms. I didn't do much but I got to help out some people that I didn't see yesterday. Most of the people that knew Gabe and I would say hi and that was nice. We got a little tired standing up but we managed. Most of the people that were there wore a bunch of clothes because of winter, and most of them would use a backpack or a bag and put them in their lockers so they wouldn't have to carry that much stuff. I heard a man talking about how he was sleeping at Mel and would wake up early and come over here because they wouldn't let them in until night and he would check his mail and take a shower and wash his clothes.
The man's story changed me because at the end of what he was talking about he said, "But I know that God helps me through this," and that to me was nice. I was thinking why would a man say that when all he had was destroyed and he was left homeless on the street? I then realized that when everything you own is gone, there's no one to turn to but God. That changed what I thought about homeless people.
