We will begin with the precious girl that God brought into my path while flying home for my brother’s wedding. I ran into her while waiting to head into Oklahoma City. We talked a little bit, and something just drew me to her (Possibly the Holy Spirit??? Just maybe :D). Before we boarded the plane, I asked God if I should share the gospel with her. I felt as if He answered with a clear yes, but I was still doubtful. So I prayed again,” God if this is someone you want me to share with, just let me sit by her on the flight.” And now for the disclaimer: If you don’t want God to answer your prayers, don’t pray specifically!! I really did not think that I would be able to sit with her, because she was long gone by the time I boarded. But, sure enough, I eventually made my way back to tail end of the plane and low and behold, there was one seat right beside her. Who would’ve thought? I certainly did not. To make a long story short, by the end of the flight and after much hesitancy in my heart, God opened a door in our conversation for me to share the gospel with her and it was so incredible. She did not accept, but she was very open and willing to learn. I know God planted a seed in her life and I am excited to stay in touch with her. The kicker of this story is that after I talked with my D-Group leader, Kelly Hall, she told me that she had been praying the entire way home that I would be able to share the gospel with someone that weekend. The power of prayer may be something that many of us have lost faith in, but God’s faithfulness still remains (2 Timothy 2:13) and I praise Him for that!! I challenge you to be specific in your prayer and let God blow you away with His faithfulness and love, for He is certain to do just that.
On to story number two. God has opened incredible doors for Lindsey, John, and I to share with five of our fellow Five Guys coworkers. What a blessing!! I get chills just thinking about it. Just last Wednesday night, I was able to share the bridge illustration of the gospel that we have learned here with a sweet little Hindu girl from India who I am blessed to work with. I was so extremely privileged to witness her building understanding and ecstatic reaction to hearing the gospel explained in this way for the first time in her life. By the end of the illustration, tears were streaming down her face and I knew that the Holy Spirit was doing an indescribable work on her precious heart. It was undeniable the love and truth of God that was seen in her eyes. She said, “This is the best night of my life and the best gift anyone has ever given me.” I was on the brink of crying with her I was so touched by how the Spirit moved in her life. Just earlier that day at work, we had been discussing her faith and how she worshiped at home. It was undeniable that God had been preparing her heart for that moment when she would have the choice to accept Him, and that is exactly what she did. Ladies and Gentleman, we have a new sister in Christ to welcome into our family and we are all so very fortunate!! Praise the Lord for what His ever-pursuing faithfulness.
I cannot even to begin to describe how changed and blessed I am by the work that God is doing here. It has been such and indescribable and life-changing experience to see His faithfulness and presence in such a clear way. Besides these two specific stories, there have been so many other awesome ways with which God has been kind enough to use me for His kingdom. I am humbled that He has chosen to use me and extremely privileged that He has allowed me to be a part of His master plan. I pray that God reveals to you ways in which He can use you as well and that you will be open to whatever that may be. Again, I thank you so much for your incredible love and support. Hope to share more soon!! God bless, and may He challenge you in your faith today.
