Stepping out of the comfort zone

I would say on pretty much of a daily basis at work, i have been engaging in conversation about the Gospel and the whys of needing Christ. Its been great exercise, I have been feeling the itch to go to the streets as well but alone just doesn't seem to cut it for me. I've been watching a fellow sister in the Lord that has been street fishing for a very long time on some of her videos if you want you can find her at http://fishwithtrish.com If she were near me I'd be going with her! She reminds me of myself so much, I know this is my sister for sure! Though we haven't met yet!!!

I have been utterly inspired and compelled by the love God has for me through what He has done, that I cannot and will not hold back, I want to do His will! His love alone in me is enough for me to make it past all the trembling and fear to simply go!

As well Trish has inspired me too! Thanks Trish! So, he res what happened last night. I was leaving Bible study and I had some tracts in my pocket, so as I walked toward the theater there was a crowed, I began to give them out to people, Did you get one of these? they would take it and even wanted it when they saw the million dollar bill! I came up to a group of kids and then emptied my hands, and as I went back towards them it just happened, I was engaged by the sentence with a beautiful sweet timid girl. "Do you know what the million dollar question is?"

this was a crowed of kids and now this young girl was being centered out, she was quiet but I asked "Where do you think you are going when you die?" I started to shake......... she had no idea and said she really hasn't thought about it.

I asked her if she believed herself to be a good person, to which she replied unsure not really...... wow! This is a first, so I knew grace would be enough, but still she didn't know where she was going when she died. I asked her if she was familiar with the 10 commandments and she said yes and I asked her if she thinks she kept them and she kinda nodded yes but still unsure, I asked if we could go through some to see, and off we went............. The kids around me were shocked as a matter of fact a young girl who was there said "Do you know Sidney?" (from church) and I was like oh you go to Rivers Edge which is my new church. There was also this boy there who seemed to feel sympathetic to this girl I was talking to, but he totally got what I was doing and laughed a few times at the answers I gave and then just began to watch the whole transaction take place with his friend......... I went through some of the commandments and then helped her to see her guilt. I talked about the court room and a good judge not letting us go because we are sorry, that if the earthly judge was a good judge we would have to serve his justice somehow, she was quiet, and seemed to want to hide, but it was OK, I knew God was doing His work, I said you being found guilty would have to pay that penalty right? She nodded, I asked her How much more God who is Holy and just? She was quiet, I asked Do you know what God did so you could be free from the price you would have to pay (hell) she said "The Jesus Story?) I said "What?" I said j"Just like you standing in that court room and unable to pay for what you have done someone comes and throws themselves infront of you and says I will take the punishment!!! Jesus died on the cross for this very reason, for the sin we committed, which is the breaking of Gods Laws.

I asked "Do you know how to take part in that, what he has done so you won't stand before God guilty?" She was like confess? I said well no not really, its part of that, "The bible says we must repent I said "do you know what that means?" Then I explained repentance, I said " It means say if you are having sex outside of marriage (and that called fornication and the bible says no fornicator will enter the kingdom of heaven) you stop! because you recognize you are sinning, I said " so If you lie you stop, and as well in that repentance you ask God to forgive you, and put your trust in what Jesus has done! He will give you a new heart with new desires to please HIM!!! I asked if this made sense to her and all those listening, and shook all their hands and thanked them for their time, and as I walked away the boy who seemed (Christian) said "I admire your courage" of which I replied ("I'm shaking") "and he said me too but its from the cold" I pray for this young girl that God bring her to Himself, for His Glory Amen!

Well the street muscles are being exercised, I am wanting to venture off on Good Friday...........anyone want to come?
