I will admit that I haven't been a good steward of this summer painting job, in terms of really talking with my coworkers about Jesus. I mean, they know that I'm going to be a missionary next year, and they know that I'm a "good Christian girl", but I have not been bold in sharing my faith. So today I just said a quick prayer and look what God did! Its just one conversation, but I pray that its the first of many! At one point the guy, mike, jokingly said "well I guess she wants us all to be Christians by the end of the season!"
There are so many people in our lives that could just slip by without hearing! This hit me first when I was on summer project in Brazil, but I only am recently getting a true burden for the people in my every day life. I read John Piper's book "Don't Waste your Life" over a year ago, and I remember feeling really convicted about the fact that I don't take steps of faith toward friends, family, coworkers and strangers much at all.
I'm in the states for another 4 months and I dont want to waste it!
