| This is a story of a girl who decided to take a risk and chat with a monk and see what The Lord had in store.
One day a lovely squad leader challenged a girl to talk to a monk. It wasn’t that the girl was flat out refusing to speak to monks. She had asked a question here and there. But the girl was definitely more comfortable letting someone else take the lead in that kind of conversation. So one day this past week was THE DAY. It happened. The girl carried on a conversation with a monk, with the assistance and laughter of one of her teammates. There wasn’t anything super fantastic about it or anything like that. But the girl walked away having learned an important lesson. She learned that even though conversations may be a little awkward at times, it doesn’t mean that she’s terrible at them. It means that she needs to press into them. A lie the enemy had her believing for a long time was that she was terrible at getting-to-know-you type conversations. And she spoke that as truth over her life. But God is doing a work to rid her of the lies and help her be fully rooted in the truths The Lord has already spoken over her. The end, well, it’s more like the beginning of something awesome. Also, there’s another route change: we will not be going to Turkey anymore. We still haven’t heard where they’ll be sending us instead yet. So as soon as I know, I’ll be sure to post about it. |
