Lead me on

"How do you be a real Christian?" The little girl's face showed the sincerity of her question. I'm sure my face betrayed the shock I felt. A friend and I were substitute teaching at an Awana class here in Ozark, Arkansas. We were simply sharing about our experiences overseas. We didn't even give the Gospel message. God obviously had other plans for this night.

After the class I sat down with the little girl and shared the whole Gospel with her. She eagerly received Jesus into her heart. After we prayed together I explained that all of heaven was having a party because she met Jesus. Her face lit up and I knew that she will never be the same.

The past month has been very difficult for me. I call it post-Asia trauma. God did so much in my life and through my life in the two months I was on outreach but now that I'm home I feel slightly at a loss of what to do. I am staffing here in Ozark until December and then I don't know what I should do. I keep crying out to the Lord asking for direction and He keeps reminding me that He is directing me. He directed me back to Ozark. He directed me to Awana class that night. Then He directed me to His little girl who needed to meet with Him.

So, my prayer for this time of my life is simply this: Lead me on, Lord.
