I was walking along the trail, this Wednesday and I was like, "I am going to try to talk to people, at least say 'Hi'". I was walking up to this man and I could tell that I would atleast be able to say, "Hi" and he would atleast say "Hi" back. He walked up to me, turned around and started walking the samed direction as me. I prayed something like this "Thank you Lord for making this easy, ok what are you doing Lord, help me Lord to talk." We walked I think about 2 miles. He told me about some of his struggles. I really enjoyed our talk. At the end we exchanged phone numbers and said we would try to walk together sometime. And again I thanked the Lord. I'd been asking to provide someone that most people wouldn't notice or spend the time with for me to witness, not just a quick presentation of the Gospel, but someone I could spend time with and walk with and get to know. I don't know what will happen, I may call him and nothing may come of it, but durring the time I spent I found out that I was not the only person this man had given his phone number to. And that thought broke my heart. There are many people to reach out to if we are willing. For me it has started with a prayer, God provide oportunities and help me to be obedient. And He has been providing more of those in my life.
That's great. You told me to make sure that you're stepping out. Good job. I don't need to tell you that actually helping someone is usually a lot less romantic than walking with them for awhile, so make sure you call the guy. Cool.
