A few posts ago, I told you about a girl I didn't know and the hell she is going through. I'd like to continue with her story, we'll call her "Hope." Since meeting her last week, God has not let me forget her.
But she is so unapproachable, & I'm so unqualified, so I'm really depending on Him. After a few days of waiting on God, He guided my next step for Hope. I felt Him say, "Do something a mom would do, but has never done, because Hope has no mom." So I got her a gift with no agenda. A gift for the occasion of Just-Because. I found a pretty box and put a new pair of delicate crystal earrings in them. I also felt God nudge me to not accompany this gift with words. So I put a gold bow on it, but no card. I dropped it off to her place of employment, but asked her employer to give it to her.
And that was that.
Yesterday, I saw her. She came up to me with her head looking down and said, "Thank you."
And that was that.
But as I was leaving, I noticed the earrings in her ears....and that's a start.
Please pray for Hope.
She hasn't met me....she's getting to know Jesus through me.
And that's just the beginning.

WOW, That gave me goose bumps. Heather, that's so great. If we can all touch someone in need like that, the world would truly be a better place. You're an inspiration to people like me who feel "unqualified" and you make it OK to take the chance. Hey, what do we have to loose??????
Thanks for the great post, Kristin
I'm loving this story!!! God always has a purpose on EVERYTHING and I just can't wait to see how this story continues to unfold. I'm telling you, both of you are being blessed. Please continue to keep us posted. We'll continue to pray for you and Hope.
AWESOME! I can't wait to hear the rest!
DEAR ONE, WE CAN "GO TO CHURCH" ,BE INVOLVED IN ALL KIND OF "PROGRAMS" ETC...BUT IT IS THESE THINGS THAT PLEASE OUR HEAVENLY FATHER, STEPPING OUT OF OUR "COMFORT ZONE " SOMETIMES LOVING THE UNLOVELY,SPREADING THE "AROMA OF CHRIST" TO THE HOPELESS HUMAN BEING... OUR PURPOSE ON THIS EARTH IS TRULY ALL ABOUT THAT . HEATHER, YOU ARE LISTENING TO GODS WHISPER IN YOUR LIFE AND THAT PLEASES HIM ..LOV MOM
