May 10, Santa Barbara

May 10, Santa Barbara This morning I finally asked the young man whose bed beneath mine , "what is your name ?" " Christ , Christopher." That was interesting , there are many Christ(opher) i have met. They all treat me in good. just the one broke my heart. But I have promised to God that I would pray for him every day in my life. 7:00am, I left the shelter. A African lady with beautiful hair took me the entrance of south 101. This was perfect spot for hitchhiking, plenty space, slow speed, not too many not too few cars. My driver was a beautiful young lady,named Sarah, she was going to Los Angles. I always feel happy when I meet female driver, because there are very rare women to pick me up. I am glad that some women have open mind and passionate hearts to hitchhikers, and would like to open the door to revive them. Sarah herself has never hitch hike , but she like to help others . She picks up women hitchhikers and also pick up men. She has same faith as mine , believe most people are good. we shouldn't shut down the door. She is really blessed. If most People learn from their own experience, Sarah learns from God. I think she is my only one driver who has never hitch hike but picks both women and men hitchhikers . 9:30am we arrived in Santa Barbara, Sarah wrote her telephone to me, told me she might go to sanDeagle at Saturday, so she may give me ride. before I got out of car, she said "wait moment, " she quickly opened the purse and took a bill of money, "just in case", she said. It was $20. i want to see this world. In these 11days, I have already seen this world: the world is full of love . It is not my dream that worth anyone 's love , it is God who put love in people 's hearts. I worth nothing, but God covered me with His love. Santa Barbara may has the most beautiful main street in the world. it is similar a garden. I walked through it to the ocean, and walked on the beach with bare feet. The feeling was so good. I played flute a little while in the main street. A man came and talked to me , he told me to go to shelter now better than later. He Just couldn't stop talking. I have already found certain people have such habit. I am so lucky that I can't speak English well , that help me a lot. As George said , I am a "perfect " woman, I can listen to him, and remember what he said even he himself forgot. Today I was thinking to sleep outside. On main street bench or somewhere if the whether is warm enough. because looking for shelter that costs too time, and needs come back early. I like to see beautiful people , there are not many beautiful people in shelter. If sleep outside, the time will be much more flexible. Another way I was thinking to make a sign, writing " need a place to stay a night. " put beside me while I play flute. This will be same as hitchhiking, just thumb up waiting the person who God send to me. After found The shelter , I played flute in Trader Joes 25 minutes , got $5.25. That was better than main street. I have found that grocery stores are always good place for busking. A young man who helped me to make phone call told me, Santa Barbara is not a good place for busking. He played guitar 6 hours , made 10 bucks. In Los Vages he made $120 a day. I was happy to hear this news , I told him I will go there. I hope tomorrow I will make a lot of money . May God bless me . Thank God for these 11 days traveling.
