Life in the City of Richmond; when you feel called to make a Difference, Can you? Will You? I felt the need to try to make a difference with the "Working Poor" in Richmond City. Walk with me.

Condemned for Trying
Apparently, money and good deeds are not enough to save us...doesn't the Bible say that in James? yes of course. Denise's home has been condemned, she has once again been displaced. She and her three babies have moved to a hotel with the help of the state for 5 days, she is unwilling to go to a shelter. She chooses to reject that option because her live in father is the dad of her youngest child, she states he won't let her go without him, shelters don't take men...especially unmarried men. There are many things we think and say..what are we supposed to do? We helped her mover her "stuff" Memorial Day Monday...into a shed of sorts, a conglomerate of mostly soiled, dejected, items. Filthy dirty, my children were not the least bit bothered, however my oldest son wants to know..."what happened?" I don't know the answer, however we know we have not stopped wanting the best for Denise, Raymond, Deshay & Chris. But for me, it feels like the time to pray deep for her to find "Holy determination" !!!!!
Please join me in prayer.....Oh yeah...she's pregnant too.

Don't ever quit. The fact that you do what you do means so much to so many people. Valerie
