HI.BYE.

went to the abortion clinic today to join shin and alice. it was funny because when my friend was driving me there, i suddenly saw a girl who looked like alice. i tried to call her but no one answered. so my friend turned around because she was like, "oh we passed it" so we turned around. i saw shin and waved and realized that it was alice on the other side of the street. i started laughing at myself. silly me. and "SO SHE DOES HAVE SPRING BREAK THIS WEEK!" -.-ll

anyway today was just totally awesome. i asked God when we were driving to the clinic to just have mercy on us, to protect us from harm, and other things like boldness. He answered of course! there were sooooo many things that happened. at first it was kind of slow and one of the other ladies came out and was trying to prove that their clinic is 97% doing this and that and the other 3% is abortion. i dont really remember that part well because sarah was the one really talking to her. after she left, sarah told me that she was the one that kicked them off of their property.

alice talked about stephanie and porqui so you can read that. it was amazing. she was just so nice and optimistic. we prayed for her wrist. the first time it was because it was hurting. the second time was that she couldn't move it from right to left so we prayed for her again. afterwards, she was like, "oh my gosh! it doesnt hurt anymore!" and her "baby" (if you were there you'd know what i mean) asked her if she was telling the truth, if she was forreal. and she nodded and said, "YEAH!" PRAISE GOD! she said that she was going to exercise her wrist so that it'll fully recover. oh man. God, bless her and porqui. may You give them all Your treasures and love. may they seek after You even more and learn to love and hunger after You. Amen.

well sarah, bryan, karen, ruth, and alice left because they had to go somewhere and alice was very exhausted. GO ALICE! YOU ARE A FIGHTING WARRIOR GODCHICK. wow. such a long name. xD anyway! shin and i were the only ones there now and so i went to the other side of the street holding up the sign that says "inside you is a miracle of life." it was getting pretty hot and standing isnt something i love to do. i admire shin. she stood like 98% of the time. according to alice's blog and my time with her. she's a superwoman! i dont think i could ever do that... now. maybe a while ago, but yea. hehe.

so after an hour or so i called shin from across the street and asked her if she wanted to switch places with me. she said sure so we switched places. it was kind of funny cause we both accidently dropped our phones randomly. but thats not the point. ha sorry. going off topic. so after some time, shin was about to come back to our original side of the street and this lady in a blue car came over. at first i was a bit scared not knowing what she'd say. but then she said hi and i responded with hi as well and she continued saying "i just want to say congrats on doing this. i feel so encouraged when i saw you girls doing this because God told me about a year ago to do this but i didnt do it. i know that God is going to bless you girls a lot so keep this up." i was like :O haaa. i kept saying thank you to her and saying God bless you. i was totally speechless. didn't know what else to say to her. i was amazed. i regret not saying this to her though: "God has everything planned out." but T_T oh well.

that gave me such an encouragement.

then this guy (it was before she came) who walked by and said hi to me. i was about to say hi back but then he said bye right after. i was like "uhh.... ok God bless you" but by that time i think he was gone. oh and when shin was back at our original location, she was tired so she sat on the sidewalk. after some time a bus came and couldnt actually park because she was sitting there. shin didnt know cause the board was blocking her view and the bus driver was telling me to tell her to not sit there. so i called shin and told her to stand up. a lady was nearby and told her that the driver wanted to speak to her. i think she told shin to not sit there because buses come here and such. then the bus driver closed the door and moved a little more. shin and i were still holding up the signs. the bus driver opened the door again and said "but i really do like your signs" ahhhh! :)

oh. there was one discouragement, but everything good that happened today i would say overcomes that. it was towards the beginning, when i first got there. i was passing out the flyers. so i stood there for some time until a lady came and i handed her one but she said no thanks. so i was like oh ok God bless you! a little while later she came over again and said "you know what i think i will get one" so i was excited. (shouldnt have been though) she then said "can i have a few more for a couple of my friends" (what a lie) and i stupidly said "sure how many would you like?" (being the nice jasmine i am to strangers when doing this kind of thing) and she (pretended to) counted in her head and fingers. then said four. i gave her three more flyers. (like i said...) she said thanks and walked away. i was looking at another direction when i turned to look at her again. i saw her near a trashcan and i was like thinking "oh shoot. she better not have..... she probably did.... no. dont think that. she couldnt be that mean could she?" so i kind of like brushed it off. when we all met again in our little group, i told sarah about it and alice said "yea she tore it and threw it into the trashcan." -.-ll oh gosh. i was like T_T nuuu the poor expensive flyers!

130 dollars. according to shin. she printed out 100 of them. so they could have been about... 1 dollar and some cents i assume. so times that with four will give you around... im not good with math but yea! you get the idea right? ahhh. my heart sank and i just quickly said with a loving heart, "Lord, I just pray that You bless her day. open her heart and make it sway into Your direction. Amen." i also heard that she was the lady that johnny pissed off. -.-ll ahahah and i heard what johnny did. he's so awesomely crazy! i want to see that happen again! johnny! bring me next time!

i see. yeah we can only deal with that kind of people with love when they treat us with hatred. Sorry to hear bout that Jasmine, but this is the "best" she can do, isn't that amazing how weak and naive that lady was? The Holy Spirit was there to take control of the atmosphere!
