The Jesus women never knew

I wouldn't might writing a book tittled this.
I come accross so many women who beleive in the New Age Movement because they think there's nothing but rules & regalations to being a christain.
Back in the day before I became a christain I thought the same too.
I go to school with a bunch of New Age Movers,when you mention Jesus they stop you and say stop talking about relegian.
If they only knew Jesus was the biggest advocate for women's rights.
I want to go through the whole bible and pull out the parts where Jesus stood up for women,mostley adulters.
And show them see Jesus stood up for women just like them.

The adventures of Jen's Kitchen never stop

Last week I had a lady come from the North Shore to help out with Jen's Kitchen.
I asked her if she wanted the normal or exciting version of Jen's Kitchen.
She picked the exciting & that's what she got.
Everything was going fine until we hit the alley in front of the Health Contact Center.
As soon as we entered the alley the police showed up,so I knew that Jesus had sent them.
We started handing out food when this lady came up to us and started saying "Do you walk through the shadow of the valley of death" Then said to me " Are you telling the gospel" I stated yes.
Then she turned toward Laura and said " your afraid,very afraid,What are you pretty ladies doing down here.
Then she started yelling "Iam the one that suffers" repeatedly.
We were afraid this women was going to hit one of us because she was so angry,we stood there listing while trying to feed others.
Then the police came back and that was the end of that.
I told my volunteers that was a Deamon up in our face.
So I directed my team of people to the War Room.
Aaron White was there with 15 other people & we told him what happen and got prayer.
So in the end I guess Laura did get the exciting version of Jen's Kitchen.

Women's Memorial March

Febuary 14th is the day of LOVE.
Down here in the DTES we show are love by marching the streets for our missing & murdered women.
We get up and speak at the police station to remind the VPD this all could have been avoided if they just cared.
Iam always trying to get people from the North Vanacouver,Richmond etc area to come down to be a part of the march & show they also do care about the missing women.
This year Jesus brought them I got ladies from rich well too do churchs in North Vancouver,Deep Cove etc coming down to be a part of this year's Women's Memorial March.
Iam so excited
Down here in the DTES we just want rest of B.C. to understand the pain we face as a community about the fact our women were taken from us in such a violent way.
This issue has become part of our history that we will be dealing with until the end of time.
We only hope the pain becomes easier to deal with as we live out our dailey lives.

University

One of the local Universitys has paid for 12 sex trade workers to go and take a course called (The History Of Sex Work)
And yes I am one of the students going!!
I know some christains don't agree with this,but how many cracked addicted servival sex workers do you know going to university,I now know a few.
So the women can come to class with out worring about money,the university has offered $20 dollars and food every time she comes.
The students will also be getting cedits to this school to advance their future.
I now can add university student to my profile.
Steve Court forgot anything the devil want's to use for bad Jesus will turn around and use for his good.
Only Jesus know's the good that will come out of this!!

Quote for next week

We learn things about God in suffering that we can't learn any other way.!!

Working on Jesus's time

Iam learning everything works on Jesus's time even if you have to work late at night.
Last night I got home late from North Vancouver,when Jen's Kitchen got a big donation of Can
goods,rice,juice & clothes etc dropped off.
I grabbed the closes set of hands to help me walk all this food and clothes down to the Vivan.
The boxes were so heavy I was afraid of the food falling on the ground, so I took a lot of rest breaks along with praying to Jesus for endurance.
Knowing this my volunteer asked if I would like to stop and have another break I said "No Jesus just gave me some strengh,let's just make it the last block with out stopping."
The sad thing is the Vivan is just 3 blocks away from Jen's Kitchen.
My arms felt like jello after,I am so weak. (Ha Ha)
Over all it was a busy day for Jen's Kitchen as far as food hampers go, In the afternoon I had to run down to the Salvation Army to get bread,scones and english muffins for the Vivan.
Then do up 3 food hampers for various servival sex workers in the community.
We didn't stop until 11PM at night,then I didn't go to bed until 4Am.

Quote Of The Week

You'll never know that God is all you need
until God is all you've got.

Feeding the hungry

Sara,Barcha,& myself were at Mc Donalds trying to past time untill our movie started.
This lady approched us asking for money,we all said we didn't have any.
On our way to the movie we all started talking about why we couldn't give this woman any money.
We all admited we felt bad for lying to her,I said "Well if she's around when we come out of the movie,I'll buy her something to eat."
Well sure enough she was around when we came out and like I promised I bought her something to eat.
As I was pulling out the money to pay for her food a security officer came up and asked her to leave,I quickley told him I was buying her something to eat.
The security officer said to me "I wouldn't do that because then she'll never leave"
That comment pissed me off I turned around to him and said "I hope when your hungry & poor someone does the same for you." Well the security officer didn't like that comment & left.
He was wrong, as soon as that woman got something to eat,she was no where to be seen.
It was wired, I said to Sara" So where is this lady that wasn't going to leave at.?
I also could feel the holy spirit around us.
I think Jesus was teaching us a lesson.
