Soup run

I went out to the soup run last night, and was talking to a guy.
He was under 26 yrs old, hasn't had a job. He told me a little bit of his story
He used to be on drugs, and has hep c to show for it.
He applied to join the military, he wanted to be a field medic, however that was when he found out he had hep c.
He was drunk, and drink a lot... from boredom according to him.
However he was thankful for the food at the soup run, cause otherwise he would drink and not eat,
He has already got charges against him for disorderly behaviour, which he says is cause he hadn't eaten before drinking, so the alcohol goes straight to his blood.
However he wants to change, the government is offering him to do a certificate at TAFE, and he now decided to be a mechanic, a motor bike mechanic.
So i pray that he will do this course, that he will then continue to work towards that job. and not continue to get drunk cause he is bored. That he will know the love of God. He once wanted to be a medic, i pray that he will find the best medic of all, Jesus Christ, and then he will become the medic that he wanted to be, not in the Military, as he had planned but in that Army of the Lord.

every person we met has a story... has a dream... do we take time to hear those dreams, to pray with them for those dreams, and also introduce them to the one person who makes the dreams possible, and some times has even bigger dreams for that person.
