Please Let Us Pray For Ms. Phylicia Barnes...

Please Let Us Pray For Ms. Phylicia Barnes...
Posted By: WILLIAM W. HEMMANS III on January 13, 2011


Let us pray for this young lady, that she is safe, that she is found and that this is simply a matter of a teenage misunderstanding with her family in Jesus Name...

Last night before I found out about this on twitter by what Jacque tweeted, I went for a walk last night.
I saw a young teenage a girl, thumbing for a ride, jumping out in the road with frequent traffic. Cars were honking and a car was stopping to pick her up.
I approached the young girl and told her, it is not safe to be trying to hitch a ride.
The girl had on long boots and a mini skirt.
I asked the girl are you homeless? She was not homeless.
She had missed the bus to take her from Ft. Lauderdale to Hollywood FL.
I offered to buy the girl a bus pass.



I noticed the girl was pregnant and asked her how many months, she said she was 7 months pregnant.
I broke my own rule and allowed the girl to call for a ride. The girl said thank you and God Bless.
I told her please be careful and take care of yourself. She followed me a little bit until crossing street where she could be easily spotted.
I perceived when she spoke that she was just a young girl that had not lived enough life to know any better.
Even though pregnant, she had the voice of a little girl...
How many of us have mad mistakes as teens, got caught up and were blessed...
I know things are not a coincidence, to come across this scene where I had to help, could not ignore and then read what Jacque posted on her page.
