The Bible says David got up in the early hours of the day to talk to God. I got up this morning around 5:45 to have breakfast with one of my deciples before school started. I was on my way to his house up Los Robles. I called on the way there around 6:15. He answers the phone and tells me he is not going because he is sick. "Ok" i answer and don't bother to ask any further questions. After that, i decide to head over to the Harambee ministry house for the morning devotions. As i approach the house i see little Ronnie walking aways from the house saying that no one is answering the door. So, i ask Ronnie if he wants to go have Breakfast with me. He agrees but goes to let his mom know first. We went to this spot on the corner of Orange Grove and Los Robles. The place is called "Tony's" a small but very well presented establishment. They have all the differentf type of fresh fruit juice you can think of. From fresh orange juice to Papaya. Every kind of juice you want they have it. I order a Mexican hot chocolate in water not milk cause i'm lactose intolorant. We both had the Machaca con huevo. I recomended for breakfast. But you have to get an order of avocado with it. They also serve it with beans and rice and home made tortillas. Those are the best. But anyways let me get back to what went down. After me and Ronnie met I dropped him off at school. I came home and minutes later. My guy's sister calls me telling me that he left the house kind of mad because of an argument between the two. And she was worrying about him. Well, she says that he was trying to play the rat(skip school). I'm assuming he wasn't trying to take finals at school. He was saying his ear hurt and didn't feel like going to school and saying he didn't have any finals, making up excuses. He was trying to play his mom but his sister knows better. So, his sister got on his case and didn't let him stay home. So, he got upset and crying, was threatning to commit suicide and saying that she didn't care about him and so on and so forth. She made him go to school anyway, later on. His sister calls me and this is how i know all this. She felt bad so she wanted to talk to someone. Crying she was telling me that she felt bad that she had to be so hard on her brother. She didn't know how to handle it. She feels like she was playing mom and felt alone and feeling like God has walked away from her. I know thats not the case. So, i talked to her and calmed her down. And letting her ventilate i shared some of the good news to her. I asked her about her church and how she says that she feels like her church is really not for her. And all these other things. So, I invited her to go to my church and check it out. After getting off the phone with her and while dropping off Carlos and Jeffrey off at their school. I called PHS(Pasadena High School) to find out if he got to school. And he was there so i felt better. I called his sister to let her know so she can rest her mind a little.
after all this i was thinking about Luke 18-19 and what that means to me as a Christian. I know what it means to me. And i just thank God for giving me a spirit that cares about his people and that He has equipped with the right words to say in times like these. Well, i'm gone talk to my guy after school so you'll can be praying for us and his family. sergio@qvo.cc
