TESTIMONY
Saturday & Sunday, 16-17 March 2012
After driving to Florida and back on Friday, it is back home we go. Once again I can give praise to my "Van-dals" as they keep me awake for the entire trip.
As we are traveling on Sunday morning, I learn that a girl in one of the other vehicles is struggling with her faith. During the past year, she has gone through a major depression, and as a result, she is doubting God's existence. Ironically, she has come on this trip anyway.
As soon as I hear this story, I know that God is telling me to talk to her. So, when we stop for lunch, I ask her to leave the group she is sitting with and come sit with me. I am sure it felt a little bit creepy as she reluctantly agreed. But after a few awkward moments and explaining my intentions, her story poured out.
After she shared her story, it was time for mine. There is no doubt she was intrigued since our similar stories had such different conclusions. It has provided a healthy dose of dissonance in her life.
To my own surprise, she has agreed to continue meeting with me on a weekly basis. Once again, it makes me celebrate the testimony that God has given me, which has included some dark times. In the end, you find out that God wastes none of our experiences. To Him be the glory!
