I'm currently at a train station in new York waiting for my train. Well let's tell a little story.. I was supposed to be in a hotel in NYC tonight but decided to take a train early at 3am so I didn't have to pay for the hotel. So God had a great purpose in me waiting at the train station tonight.
So I was sitting with Caesar (husband of one of the Dominican women I've been working with this last week) I saw this beautiful girl come in crying her eyes out. So of course, I asked Caesar to give me a minute and I felt like I needed to talk to her.
So I went over, asked her if she was okay and she said yes - so I asked her if I could pray for her - wouldn't hurt anyone and I would really like to. So we prayed, she was crying, clearly really upset. We were Talking about how much the Lord loves her, how much He could use this to better her, that He never said it was easy but that He would walk with us and love us fearlessly along the way. That's where the peace is, and it's a joy like none other.
So after, I really didn't want to pry into her life and ask all these questions - none my business. But I just wanted to make sure she felt cared for and safe, like the Lord cares for her and wants to keep her safe. So after talking to her for a little bit, I got to share a little bit about my last few years. About how I was doing everything the World says is great and fun and was SO unhappy and empty. But that the Lord came into my life in a way so real to me, and showed me how much He loves me personally. That it used to be works, rules to me. But That he used everything in my last for where I'm supposed to be now. Well we talked, and she completely understood. She kept thanking me saying I was such a good person and I assured her (what I felt like 10 times because I know I'm not haha) that there's NOTHING good in me. The reasons I'm writing this is because I don't want to forget this conversation so I can pray for her too.
But she had to go, she has my number and name - God is GOOD! if I was in the hotel like I was supposed to be, I would have never gotten to talk to her and share how much the Lord adores her. Pray for her?
