Hope is Stirring!

Last week, I wrote a blog about one of my girls who believes that the devil is god and that God does not exists. Every week I have talked with her for about 30 minutes to try to work on this with her. Today, I was not looking forward to talking with her; I just wanted no more stress. Oh but how wrong I was!

This precious girl is giving into God’s pursuit of her. She has found herself from time to time writing poems and when she goes back and reads them it’s as if it was a message from God, Himself, to her about her situation. She’s still not convinced but she admits that He probably does exist but she’s very confused. She feels like He doesn’t listen to her, yet I was able to point out all the ways He has been responding to her.

Last night after the night of praise and worship she told God that she was very alone and sad and she really needed a hug. Just a hug from Him. She said that there had been no wind last night, but at that moment as she was heading down to the cabins, a rush of wind wrapped itself around her. She said “it might be strange for me to say this but I think it was God.” I told her that she was so right that it was God. She couldn’t believe that I was saying it.

I’m so encouraged to see a heart softening before my eyes and seeing God personally pursue this young lady and she’s letting Him in a little at a time. I have no doubt, that your prayers are helping this beautiful soul take one step closer to finding everlasting life in the arms of our amazing Savior. Please continue to pray for her and for us as God has given us the huge work of guiding her to Him. I just can’t quit smiling! My God is wonderful!
