Seeing God move

A message I sent to my team members November 23rd:

I'm coming home from visiting the english group and I have to give God a huge shout out. He's mind blowingly amazing! A guy who I met in St Quentin en Yvelines* at our stand** (I had seen him the week before) came with his friend. He is Muslim and so is his friend. It was a good discussion and everyone participated. Afterwards I told Alice (the student leader), she didn't know they were both Muslim. Afterwards, we had a quick debriefing to see how to make sure they felt included and welcomed even though I thought she did a great job. It's awesome because she was a bit discouraged because not many people were coming. I'm so amazed at how God brings people! You never know who will come!

*St Quentin en Yvelines, is another city in the Paris region about an hour from the center, which is where we were.
**Stands are set up on campus to invite students to the GBU group and also for us to talk about Jesus. We pass out Bibles and other information about the GBU.

Keep going


I'm waiting for this WOW moment with a student who reads the Bible with me every week. I want her to understand the Gospel, believe it and be saved. Today I felt like our discussion didn't go well because I didn't see any change. I speak of Jesus every time we meet hoping that this time she will get it. I love spending time with her I just want her to know Jesus so much. What am I doing wrong? How can I trust in God's timing and not my own? God was patient with me, why can't I be patient with her? I need to trust in God's timing and just keep planting as much seed as possible.

Busted!

Here's a funny story I shared with my friend Jen.

My heating pad busted in my bag today. I wear it like a fanny pack for cramp relief. Gel oozed out and got on my hand. I had to walk quite far in the RER B station to find a trash, which was disappointing. So I had to just deal with the gel on my hands hoping it wouldn't give me cancer because I didn't have tissues. I thought I should share my story with someone. I hope you're have à good day.
