So, sitting in Church for two hours or more on Sunday Nights with a two year old and 9 month old is a little difficult to say the least. Tonight, I decided to go down stairs after the first hour and let Joshua play with the other kids. I sat right inside the door to the apartment and the doors always stay open. Tonight, a 22 year old muslim girl was walking by and came in to talk to me (thanks to my beautiful white children that everyone wants to touch). So, we had the basic conversation of what's your name, how old are you, where are you from, etc. Then, I asked her if she knew of Jesus. She said yes, and then said a few words that I don't understand yet. Then, I told her basically everything that I know how to say in arabic about the Lord. She grew a little quiet and then started asking me about my husband. She asked if he was American. Then she asked me if he was a good man. "Yes", I said. And before I could say anything else, she asked, "Does he love you?" (This is a question I have been asked more than once since I have gotten here.) I then explained to her that my husband does love me very much. I told her that my husband loves Jesus and Jesus loves him. And the Bible teaches him to love his wife. I pray to tell these women that "yes, my husband is a good man, and he does love me, but it is because of the Lord. I want them to see the love of Christ.
Please pray for this young lady. She is 22 years old and currently engaged. I believe with all my heart that the Lord brought her into a CHURCH tonight because He is trying to reach her.
