one of my friends relapsed back into drugs and alcohol. We picked her up and now's she's staying with us while she detoxes/recovers. I feel so humbled and blessed that God is allowing us this opportunity to do this. She's gonna be staying with us for awhile. I think I'm gonna benefit much more than she is.
We've talked some (she's still coming down) and she told me that she has no other alternative. She wants to stay here (at our house) and learn how to be a Christian. She says that God is the only one who can save here. She thinks that she's too full of sin and that God cannot possibly want her. She recognizes that she isn't saved (which is a huge revelation considering that she goes to church).
I'm feeling so much right now, I hardly know what to write. I am so happy that she's seeking him and I feel so blessed that WE get to be ones to point her to Christ. I'm so grateful that I go to good biblical church where I don't have to fear that she will hear a perverted gospel. I pray that God shows His mercy to her and give her saving grace. I've realized that despite all I 'know', I don't know anything at all! I really thought that I know sooo much about sharing the gospel and everything but nothing comes out and I don't feel like I know what to say. Good thing that God does not depend upon our ability to get people saved because we would all fail! Lord, help me to articulate Your Word in a way that glorifies You. You guys, I am so excited to be here, to serve in this way, it makes me feel alive. I feel purposeful like this is what it's all about and I finally get to do some hardcore ministry. Please pray for us.
