He provides!
Yesterday was probably the first day I went on campus intentionally. And as most of you know, I was scared out of my mind. I am not one who can walk into a crowd of people and start a conversation. I am not one to go up to some stranger and say hi and continue a conversation. Oh I would say Howdy at A&M but that was the extent of the convo. Besides most Americans aren't keen on having a stranger coming up to them and starting a conversation out of the blue. So needless to say I was quite a bit out of my comfort zone. My insecurities started to seep in and my stomach was in knots. I felt a bit like Moses, wondering why in the world God was choosing me to meet girls. I kept thinking about how I'm not qualified to do it. But alas, I knew that was what I was suppose to do. That God had told me to come here and make friends with the students and that since He told me to do it He would provide for me. So I went to campus. I sat and ate lunch and as had happened many times before sat with some girls who were very quiet. So it didn't go all too well. We left lunch and headed towards the library where there were masses of people all waiting to take their ID picture. We split off and I went and sat down with three girls and just started talking to them. It was amazing! I didn't know I could do that. Oh wait, I can't, it was definitely God. And as I sat and talked with the three, other girls started trickling over. So by the time I left, I had met probably 6 girls. I got numbers from 4 of them and will hopefully meet them again soon. I'm thinking maybe lunch next week. So it was a pretty incredible day, watching the Lord work in His mighty ways. He is the Jehovah Jireh, the Lord Provides. How can we second guess that?
