well, i'm currently sunburnt (i'm primed and ready for a wolfpack game right now) and sitting in the NORTH SUNRISE RESORT in CLEARWATER BEACH FLORIDA :)
although this trip has been incredibly interesting, i wanted to share one small way that Jesus showed up this week.
since we're sunburnt, allison and i have been finding different ways to amuse ourselves. i've almost read two books and we've slept and applied a lot of aloe. today however, we did a bit of shopping and swung by the Family Christian Store so alli could get a devotional book. i was browsing as i so love to do in bookstores and ran across a book. it's called "Woman to Woman." it talks through one woman's struggle and fear of evangelizing and talking to muslim friends. as soon as she learned a few tips and through the power of Jesus, her fears were overcome and she eventually moved to the middle east with her newfound freedom.
as i expressed ALL OVER my application (my own pathetic attempt to not get accepted), i have a ginormous fear of evangelizing to muslims. it's just one more reason why i know this was never my idea to pack up and move to lebanon for the summer. i don't know what it is, but i don't think i can handle it. over the past few days a few friends have told me that they have books to suggest (yeah, cuz i have time to read) and have given a few tips of their own. i am incredibly grateful to them for their kindness and concern but it still kinda scared me.
well, i picked up that book at family christian and read the back and immediately knew i needed that book. i later talked to a sales lady who said it was the last one in the store, and it was on sale! yeah! it was also misplaced when i found it, and probably wouldn't have found it otherwise. i decided to stop believing in circumstances and threw my debit card on the counter.
so thanks Jesus for being awesome. it's something small that i'm hoping God will do great things through.
