This experience allowed me to meet new faces within the community of Jackson, MS. Through communicating with some of the people getting their blood glucose tested and their blood pressure checked, I was able to connect with them. I was helping meet a physical need as well as see them right where they were. Little did they know, I felt seen just as much as I was trying to make them feel seen. It was a time of caring, sharing, and blessing. Through asking them where they were headed or what they had planned for the day, I got to understand the deeper issues they face than diabetes, or high blood pressure. I understood that there is a pressure, whether good or bad, in all situations. Yet, it is how we deal with that pressure, that determines the outcome. These people are taking a step in the right direction by seeking out medical care.
