My friendz and their identity

It's so hard sometimes to not be able to hang out with your closest friends when you want to. Thanks to all of you who have called me to let me know you forgave me for not calling you...hahah

Even though i haven't had the chance to hang out with them, God has been faithful to show up and give me opportunities to meet new ones. There were two people i met today and it started out like a typical :strangers, block of ice , me: type of thing. So i struck a conversation with them. I asked the usual question to chip away the ice between us and it seem to get no where for awhile because i only got one word replies. but, stubborn old me, just couldn't given in and let that block of ice win. so i asked them to pick only two words to describe who they were. The guy Derek said, "I'm Cold" and Lindie said "I'm dorkie". so i'm like...ooookay....and then Bam!!! God ushered me to give them two words that would describe them as God would describe them. To Lindie i said "you are God's Jewel" To Derek i said "you are His Precious"

And in that moment their countenance changed and something lit in their eyes. Lindie gave me a hug and Derek just kinda smiled at me but i knew something inside of him was chipping off.

God is so awesome and so incredible and only He knows how to provide the need of His children accordingly. I don't know what God is doing inside of them but i know that somehow, they went home knowing something about themselves they never knew before; their identity in Christ is not what they thought it was. Praise the Lord!!
