It has taken a little while, but finally after being pushed and asking God for help, I can say that we have really started to get to know some coworkers and are hopefully getting some opportunities to hang out and be able to talk to them about life. I just want my passion for Christ to be evident to them all and that God loves them for who they are and wants a relationship with them as well. There are a lot of really awesome and interesting people here, and I really do want to get to know them and enjoy the time that we will hopefully get to hang out. Lately, my whole carpool group has been doing an awesome job with getting to know people and getting their contact info, so that we can invite them to hang out or come to project stuff. All of us have stuff in our lives that we are having to deal with, but through God's power, we have been able to keep going after people and hopefully we will get great opportunities to share the gospel with them.
It has been incredible to see how God has answered prayers for me just in the last week. For the last week, I had been wanting to see one of my coworkers who was really cool and we had some common interests, but for some reason we were never scheduled together, so I missed my opportunity to invite him to the scavenger hunt that we had around the Magic Kingdom this last Wednesday. I had been praying that I would see him before that so that I could get his contact info and invite him, but God was working in the situation in a completely different way. Ironically after we were done with the scavenger hunt and just walking around the Magic Kingdom, I ran into him and I think it was his girlfriend. Anyway, it gave me a way better opportunity to get his number and ask him if he wanted to hang out sometime. In the past, I haven't really been good with just being able to do this type of stuff, and God knew that this situation would be the best for me to be able to do this. Another situation that was really neat for me to see God working was when we were in the Magic Kingdom, one of my friends has a tough situation at work that we weren't really sure how it would work out, so when we ran into a situation there right after the scavenger hunt, I was quick to get her away from the situation and start praying for her. I was praying that she would be calmed by God's peace and that He would help her through it, and then when she talked to me the next day, she said that everything was okay and that she didn't have too much trouble, even in that situation. I just love seeing how God is working here and I hope that he continues to bless us in our efforts to share his love. It is tough being the first group ever from Cru to work in the "attractions" part of the Magic Kingdom, because no one even knows that our program exists, so we have huge opportunity to show what we are all about, but also have it hard to establish ourselves in such a large group when there are only 4 of us. I think that people are starting to take notice of us and how we work, and so I think that God is finally starting to help us establish a little, for lack of a better term, "credibility." We are here with Cru, formerly "Campus Crusade for Christ," and we want to share God's love to all the people working here! I hope that we can continue to do this even though it is challenging.
Philippians 4:13
"I can do all this through him who gives me strength."
