YAY!! Does it get any better than this?!.......Amber

Today was GREAT! Honestly, I thought that it had potential to blow some partial chunkage, but it was just greeeat (as my friend Tony the Tiger would say). I woke up pretty pumped because I was going to meet this kid from the drop in center because the night before we got into a discussion about his life, my life and what God has to do with that. And so this morning we were going to talk and I was going to give him a Bible. I highlighted a couple of verses in the Bible and kinda got it ready; then I was going to put his name in it but then I didn't for some reason. So this Bible was all prepared for someone; but the kid didn't show up (which was okay, because we talked later online).

So I decided to go to the centre early and work on this silly website (that has been driving me nuts!), and this other girl from the drop in center came online and we started talking. And she had responded that she was interested in learning more about the Bible when this Lifeforce team came in (and we had ordered Bibles and they had just come in). We had lost a bit of contact, but we started talking today! And so I told her to come to the centre and I'd give her her Bible. And it was just so incredible. She told me about all the things she was going through, and how she always prayed to God even though she didn't go to church. I just got to sit down with her, explain the love of God and the gospel; show her some verses in her Bible...and she was so excited about everything! So we prayed together and she prayed and asked God to come into her life and for forgiveness! So we're going to meet again next week to talk, pray and look at the Word. God is just so beyond me! I forgot what it felt like to see someone recieve God's love for the first time; and the most surprising part was her openness. Like I haven't talked to anyone who has been that open to the gospel since AFrica. Almost a year!! God's plan is just so faultless

And it's funny because a close friend of mine prayed specifcially this week in an email, that the youth in Stonewall open themselves.

I just think that I sometimes assume that people in Canada don't want to hear about something as remarkable as the gospel; and that the response to it is always a critical one. There are so many things and people in my life that bless the snot out of me right now; I can't even handle it, so I'm going to go to bed...because tommorrow is going to come
