One of the best parts of my new Tuesday - Thursday routine is swinging through Starbucks and picking up a drink for myself and my friend at school and then grabbing her for class... because... we get to talk about God and His awesomeness all the way to school! This has been a miracle in and of itself.
I met this girl two years ago the first semester when I started back at school. We talked some and studied together a couple of times. I just assumed she was a Christian the whole time I would be talking to her about this or that - well Jesus did this Jesus did that...
It wasn't until we reconnected this semester that I found out she didn't commit her life to Christ until just a few months ago! Since the semester started I began picking her up for the class we have together and we talk about God all the way to class. This morning was no exception...
We were finishing our conversation while sitting on couches in the hallway outside our classroom this morning and talking about the gifts that God gives us and learning to walk in them ( she didn't really like hearing about the "learning" to walk part ... lol) but as we were sharing there was a girl sitting on the couch behind us. I didn't notice at first but when she got up from the couch I saw her walk into one of the other classrooms using a cane.
My first impulse was to jump up and ask her if I could pray for her... but I didn't, I let her walk into the classroom. Why? I am not sure... but since this is a pattern and the only common denominator is me... I suppose I need to ask the Lord why I have been so shy about praying with people. The Word says I should be bold, so I need to figure out what is holding me back. Obviously I am still "learning" too!
