Last night I was feeling very anxious about her coming over today to learn from me.
I was feeling this way because A) There are so many more people here far more capable than me to do this and B) I was scared I would be a chicken and not mention Jesus to her.
So I woke up early today to have a time of prayer (Gosh, I need to do this more!!), and I asked God for grace in these matters. I had such a moment of "I believe! Help my unbelief!" (Mark 9:24). I had all these fleshly thoughts going through my head; such as -Why would she be interested in knowing Jesus? She'll probably think coming to church sounds boring. She is such a fashionista that she will probably not want to listen to such an unhip girl such as me....
Yet, she came. She learned. She shared. It was a pure blessing.
During our lesson, I asked her about her family and she opened up a little about her home life and the struggles she has. It was such a privilege to be receiving pieces of her life (in broken English and Hungarian). We shared and we bonded and I absolutely loved it.
All through the lesson I was thinking "OK, so should I invite her to church tonight?? Is that too fast? Maybe now. Maybe next week...ahhhhh!!!"
So God pushed me into asking the question since I was warring in myself. She all of a sudden asked me: "How long you can meet today?" And so I was forced to tell her that at 7:30 we had church. I didn't have enough Hungarian in my repertoire to explain to her that I have Church tonight so I grabbed Aron as he was passing by so he could translate the invitation to her. And she said that she works early in the morning tomorrow but wants to come next week! So Praise the Lord!!! She is so open and I am so excited for this. I write all this quickly now because I am asking all of you readers to pray for this situation. Yay! I am so unworthy of this opportunity, yet God still chooses to use me in it. So exciting!
