One of my concerns working with street kids is becoming desensitized to the seriousness of their situations, because im so closely involved on a daily basis. I never want the things i see and deal with to become “normal” therefore passing it off as not being serious. I have to admit that everyday I encounter a situation with a street kid that would normally disturb or freak me out a bit, but because it has become so frequent I think I have let some things slide or been to slack. One thing is kids cutting themselves, all these kids have scars, multiple scars, proof of the inner pain and sickness. This is a subject that is beyond me and call me foolish for believing that prayer should be our first response. I believe that Jesus can heal the deep wounds. Join me in prayer if you want.
