Making a Difference

There are some days when I get frustrated because I feel like I am never going to be able to beat the endless cycle of homelessness that these men and women that I interact with have to face every single day. How much do I really help when I hand them a sinus pill or fill their prescriptions in the grand scheme of things?

But then I sit in the day room and I get to talk with people...I get to be in relationship with them, whether its learning a new card game or just talking about the Titans. When someone sincerely thanks me, just for listening to them, I remember what really matters. The most important part about my time at The Campus is building relationships with people who most of the time get overlooked. Its hearing their stories and reminding them that they, too, are children of God, full of gifts, and stories, and insights. They are valuable. Making them remember that this is true is enough to make my job completely worthwhile.
