Meeting # 3

I had mentioned a few posts back that I had an opportunity to visit with someone who was in crisis and randomly called our church wanting to talk to a minister. I happened to be the one to end up visiting with her.

Well, she has since been to our church 3 times and to a LifeGroup twice. She emailed me today wanting to come by tomorrow to talk about her relationship with God. She has some questions and wondered if I would talk with her.

So, tomorrow will be meeting # 3. I am still amazed at how curious she is and how much initiative she has taken to set up meetings and to ask questions. She is searching and I feel blessed to be a part of the process.

I'm not sure how tomorrow will go. I am praying that God will direct my thoughts and words and that He will use me to somehow help her in her journey. Mostly, I just hope I stay out of the way. It is very apparent to me that God is working in her life. I don't want to mess that up.

I am thankful that God has given me a front row seat to watch someone's life be transformed by the good news of God's love. I got chill bumps when I read her email today ASKING if she could ask me some more questions. I have never had this type of experience before.

The really odd and strange thing is that I know that my life experience has impacted the relationship that we have established. I don't think I would have been given this opportunity four years ago. I am not trying to make this about me because it isn't....but I do know some walls were immediately broken down when I briefly shared the personal crisis I had been through and that I sort of understood some of her questions....I didn't have the answers to all of them but I did understand the depth of the question....For God being able to use anything in our life for His Glory, I worship Him....
