Life and Growth

March 2012

I arrive in NewOrleans Louisianna,looking for work onehundred and fifty dollars to my name; not my best trip preperation in life. Yet it was a choice made of neccesity; no work no money where i was at i had to make a move. I made a move. I thought to my self im young im attractive i can make drinks its a party town ill find work. Wrong! I get there i see the devasation , i meet the homless i learn just how small the french quarter is. Days
go by no work, no money ,no roof, no food, ive become one of the
homless. I sit down in front of a church a man by the name of David gives me a meal asks if he can help . He lets me use a phone i call family for help no good they cant afford to help me at the moment.My soul feels despair: what am i going to do He notices and tells me he knows a place that can help,i aggree. he takes me to Timothy's Trumpet of Truth Ministries . Eight months i spend there in the deep south. I learn how strong there faith is, i learn there passion for cooking. I learn there love for each other, i learn the true meaning of the words addaptability ,percervierence and overcome. i feel there pain there sorrow there loss. A Storm hits, Issac floods everything, homes get destroyed possesions left to decay. The water dries we rebuild we move forward in life .Times up i return home my families grown ive grown life goes on memories remain.
