This is what obedience looks like.....

For those of you that were at church on Sunday you heard me challenge myself in front of the entire church (I shared in both services) that I would witness to 2 girls that I work with and that I would do it this week. Beginning Monday morning I started praying that I would have a ride into work this week with each of them by myself. We usually all 3 ride together. First thing Monday morning one lady called and said that she would need to just meet us at work so I immediately got excited because I thought God was answering my prayer super fast. Then a few minutes later the other lady called and said that she would need to meet us at work as well which meant I would be driving in by myself. Obviously God did not answer my prayer that day. In fact, I was looking at it as a victory for satan. I kept praying that God would work it out for me to have alone time with each lady in the car. By the way, I was praying specifically for the car since I knew that we would have sufficient time to talk and not be interrupted at work. So on Tuesday we ALL rode to work together like one big happy work family. I began praying even harder because it was looking to be a little more difficult to be able to manage the rides as I had hoped.

Well, let me just tell you......God answers prayer!!!! Things worked out for me to ride to work alone with one lady and ride home alone with the other ON THE SAME DAY!! I then began praying for boldness and for God to use my words for His purpose. There are many times in life when you should not be prideful, but I've got to tell ya, I am pretty proud of myself in being obedient to our Holy God. Through His strength I was able to talk to both ladies. One of them is not saved and I did present the plan of salvation to her. She seemed to really be listening and now I am praying for this seed to be cultivated. The other lady is saved but has gotten away from God and I don't think that her family is saved. My prayer for her is that she would return to our Father and bring her family along.

Praise be to God for answered prayer and boldness in Him. I had thoughts of chickening out and waiting for another moment, but I knew God had ordained these moments and that I needed to be obedient. For goodness sake, we are talking about the salvation of their souls, this is not the time to be a chicken. God provided....no chicken!
