Turned heart????
What a week! There is a lady that I've known for about 3yrs now. I meet her when I first came back to AZ. Her and I have always gotten along pretty well. However she is not a Christian. She would invite me to her children's birthday parties and stuff, so we were okay friends. Here and there she would ask me questions about God, but she never really wanted to discuss "religion". About a week ago I meet with her to have dinner. During our dinner she started acting a little well, how can I say it, irritated with me. She just seemed annoyed about everything I said. Obviously me having a relationship with Christ, my conversations are going to be about that relationship. Usually this is fine with her but this night she definitely was not enjoying that. So she ends up telling me that she was reading this book fictional book that has the main character (who is a lesbian) pretty much denounce any kind of God, mentioning that God was something created by man. I have to say I was kind of taken back by this because even though I know she isn't a Christian, she never tried to denounce that God really did exist. So after hours of us "discussing" this matter, I pretty much went home with my heart broken. We have one life here on earth and what a waste to spend it not having that relationship with Christ. SO of course I've been praying for this friend and this week I got a phone call from her. It seems that her father ended up going to the hospital because he couldn't breathe. Come to find out he has a rare, non-curable disease. Pretty much the disease eats away at your muscle tissue and your nerves until you just end of dying. Obviously she is just devastated. First off please just keep her and her family in prayer as this is a really tough situation for them. Second please pray that God would just get a hold of their hearts through this. I'm not saying God did this to get her attention but I do believe God "allows" things to happen in our lives to remind us that He is here.
