Today, I had the chance to share my testimony with Linda, our house helper. You can read about how God has been working in her life and breaking our hearts over her need for Him on Jenny’s post earlier this week. Thank you for your prayers… they are paving the way for us to share the gospel! Now you have to imagine that my speaking is still much like a 4 year old, but that IS better than the 2 year old that it was a few months ago! (2 years in 3 months… that is what language learners call PROGRESS!)
Sharing your story can be hard but when Linda kept telling us that her mother-in-law has no heart, we saw it as an opportunity to share how my heart was empty before knowing Jesus. Last night, Jenny and I were talking about how we have known each other for 20 years. I was 15 and she was 16 when we met and first dated. (Where did the time go?) Jenny was sharing this with Linda who asked if we met in church. In fact, we did, but I was not a Christian at the time. I was an angry, hurting teenager who had just moved from the only home I had ever known when my dad lost his job in OK and our family moved to CO. We started going to church and I saw this group of teens who had love and peace in their lives like none I had ever seen. I wanted that… and God gave me peace and joy like I had never known. Linda sees the joy… she talked about what she sees in Jenny – a big heart and love for others. These were the few simple words that we shared with Linda today… pray that they plant more seeds that we can water tomorrow.
