Homeless in the WI

I have a friend who lives in the WI, but he is homeless. My friend lives in a tent. He has spent the last year or so chasing his next fix. He is a crack addict. Two years ago he had an apartment and a good job, but partying became a priority and he found himself running from people he ripped off. He had been exploring who God was, but he got distracted.

3 weeks ago he reappeared, tired of running and abusing himself. Now he is trying to regain control of his life, but he is finding that it is easier to lose yourself than it is to find yourself. So, my friend is living in a tent, looking for a job, and fighting his demons. He is making amends. He is once again talking about God, but this time it seems to be less questioning. Somehow, in the midst of all his running and partying, he has come to know that God is real, now they just need to get acquainted.

God is merciful. We strive to be the same. I am glad my friend has returned. I pray that he will continue on his journey towards recovery and God.

Peace,

K
