Week # 4

Today was the day that I met Elaine. She is a 53 year old mother of two the youngest is 20 years old. She is not homeless, and in fact has a place not to far from where the bus parks. However, she now lives alone because her husband passed away a few months back because of a brain aneurysm. One of the first things she old me was that she was believer and had been saved. The reason she came to see us today was that she was that she had started using heroine again, and wanted to go into a detox and get right with God. She said that has been through a program and completed it, but is not sure why she started using again. She went on to say that she just didn’t know how to handle things that were going on in here life. With her husband passing we were trying to helping her secure her husband social security so that after she got out she would have some options available. However, this was going to take some time, and did not allow us to get her into the detox today. We were able to pray with her, and that put a smile on her face! Over that 45 minutes her mood improved, and I believe that through our outreach we were able to instill some hope in her and her future. If you would keep Elaine in your prayers I would appreciate it, and I know that she would too!
God Bless
