"it feels like i have found something in my life that has been missing"

PRAISE THE LORD
OH YEAH

the quote is from a gril called beth, who by the awesome power and mad skills of God is now in relationship with Him. i have been incredabliy privleged to watch His miracle of salvation up close.


re-wind
carol service is really pushed at cu as an evangelisitc opportunity, beth attended was touched but an fine piece of preaching, she talked to her friend Krisha about how she felt, Krisha (a non-christian friend from halls) told me beth wanted contacted about cu and God stuff. i txt her, got the whole church to pray for her and fearfully went to meet her at her house, God really showed up and we chatted freely about some really deep stuff, especailly for ppl who had just met for the first time... i gave her a Message translation of the new testament, john stott's basic christianity, and a gospel truth/pagan lies book (which i hadnt read - a bad plan)
she said she'd read them over christmas.
God really gave me a burden to pray for her, first time in ages i had felt like that
stayed in contact via txt she had questions about homosexuality and suicide, difficult stuff
BUT
tonight she was meant to come to eat with my house but couldnt because of an eassy and having to go home tomorrow, so i called round and ...
it was amazing to hear her talk of God, without jargon or cliches just a pure collection with the almighty
she has now read all the books and up to matt 7 and is talking about changing her whole lifestyle, ambitions and outlook, so cool, and really challenging : )

and the beauty of if all was it was just her, God and a bible. no evanglistic strategy, no pictures of a gap and a cross, just Jesus whispering into the heart of one who honestly looked for Hiim...
COME ON

please please pray for God's will in her new life with Him, and also for her brother...


"thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven"
