Wow God do Your thing

"But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on His own; He will speak only what He hears, and He will tell you what is yet to come." John 6:13

So a really amazing part about being in relationship with God is that sometimes He decides to show you stuff before it happens.

So this story will start on New Years Eve 2008:

Jason and I decided to stay in and pray that night. And as I was praying by myself I saw a vision of me standing in front of a bunch of college aged kids sharing my life story. And as I saw this picture God told me to not be nervous because all the opportunities to share my story would come from Him and not from my own manipulation.

So I wrote down in my journal what I saw and heard and put a question mark by it.

Okay...wow I thought: one) I hope this really happens because I don't want to feel like I'm hearing things like a crazy person two) I wonder who will ask me to share and three) phew I'm so glad I don't have to make this happen

So two weeks later I'm checking my voice mail and have a message from Bree (who was heading up the college ministry at Rock Harbor Church). She said they were doing a Sex Forum for college students at church and she felt lead to ask me to share my story.

Of course I say yes. And even though God told me not to be nervous I still was and I had to pray tons to get over the fear of speaking. But within the month I was at the Sex Forum, in front of 500 students, sharing what God has done in my life over the last three years.

And fifteen people decided to give their lives to Him that night.

Then in the days following that night God showed me another vision. I was sharing my story again, but this time specifically at a college campus.

I was excited cause I new what the first vision felt like and God made it happen. So now I was really hopeful and started waiting to be asked to speak at a college campus.

A few months passed I started gettin antsy without knowing what college campus I'd speak at or how it would come about. So I prayed and asked God for the right opportunity to share my story at a college, that His will would be done and that He would continue to prepare me to speak.

Flash forward to last night...

After church service at Rock Harbor I was talking with a good friend, and another girl about 21 years old approached me and introduced herself. She asked if I was the girl who had shared my testimony recently at Rock Harbor.

I was like,"Yeah."

And she proceeded to say, "So I do work with Campus Crusades for Christ at the University of Irvine. And I am putting together an outreach for women on campus, and I was wondering if you'd be willing to share your story."

Dude, I probably had the goofiest smile on my face, and all I could say was:

"Yes, I've been waiting for you. I would love to!"

She was floored and we were both jumping up and down thanking God.

Next week I'm meeting with her for coffee to talk about her heart for the women at UCI and what she has planned for the campus outreach.

Man.. I don't know how else to wrap up this blog, except to say:

I love how He works and I am so in.
