Now this dream happened after I came home from youth group at Austin Ridge. My dream began with me and my mom in the car driving through Austin. We suddenly found ourselves stuck in traffic when I see something at the corner of my eye. It was a homeless man holding up a sign and shouting. Now you know when you see a homeless person with a sign, the sign usually says, "Will work for food," or , "Work for shelter"? Well this mans sign said something different. Something I didn't like. It said, "TO HELL WITH GOD!" Seeing that sign made me upset and seeing him and hearing him cursing God out put me over the line. I calmly told my mom to stop the car and unlock the door. I saw her look back at me in the rear view mirror and said "Ok". I got out of the car with my bible in my hand and started walking towards the man. Immediately he saw me and my bible and then started to curse me out. But I stayed calm and kept walking. At about 6 and a half feet away from him, I stopped and sat down, opened my bible and began to read out loud to him. After awhile as I was reading, I realized that the shouting from the man stopped. I slowly looked up and saw him, sitting right in front of me with tears in his eyes.  Then he said, " keep going." And with a smile on my face I looked back down and continued to read to him.
