"But God Speaks Through You..."

Had the most interesting conversation with my friend JR just now, and I really want to share a tiny fraction of it.

Out of no where, I texted my friend that I haven't seen for a while. Surprisingly, she replied in the middle of the night and it woke me up. I woke up and started talking to her through text, trying to get to know how her life is. I got tired of typing and suggested to meet up. Really couldn't expect a yes because I suggested to meet 8 hours later. Out of my expectation, she said yes.

Tried to sleep that night after deciding to meet up, and knowing that there was a prayer meeting in the morning...I still couldn't. I was awake trying to put things together into pieces.

To be honest, I was so scared that I would not recognize her because it's been almost a year? I'm quite terrible at keeping in contact, and this is an example of that...I was a little anxious of that and because I know that she no longer believes in God, all I did was to pray and anticipating the most awkward catch up. We were so close in high school, and I guess most of us are close to the point where we can just say whatever on our mind, not having to be afraid to offend each other :) The moment she saw me, she was super excited. Having only 2 hours of sleep and rushing over, I was a little thrown off the cliff and didn't know how to react, because time seemed to have just rewinded back to the high school days.

We had a wonderful catch up, discussion on God and science. And really praise God! I got to share the Gospel with her :) Definitely have to continue to pray for her, and I'm so grateful just to be able to invite her to explore Christianity together.

The title of this blog is "but God speaks through you..." you might wonder why I used this as a title as it seems to have no relations at all. Believe it or not, these were the words that my friend said to me in the middle of a discussion. At that moment when she was talking, I was praying cause I didn't have the words to say anymore, and my brain was completely scattered...the next moment...that was what I heard. I don't know why exactly she had that in mind, but I was so pretty amazed. Thus I boldly continue on.

As I shared to a sister right after in a busy plaza, this conversation was hard to carry, it was nowhere easy because of the circumstances, but praise God for His work (definitely not mine at all) and allowing me to witness Him softening her heart through the conversation :)
