She is a small woman in her 50s with an easy smile. She
explains she has been homeless for at least 5 years. “I am waiting for an
appointment with Community Bridges.” Like
many who use the services of the Human Service Campus she lives in another part
of the city of Phoenix. “I am not close to my family. It is my choice.” I don’t
explore the story behind those words; the words are short-hand for a lot pain.
She may be small of frame; she is not small in faith. We are connecting
heart-to-heart, spirit-to-spirit. I offer to pray; she quickly accepts. As I
conclude my prayer for wisdom, she clasps my hands with her hands and prays
blessing for me. I come to minister and I walk away ministered to.
