My Cardboard Testimony:
unlovely, broken-->WHOLE, BELOVED
used, worn, second-hand, worthless-->NEW, BEAUTIFUL, CHOSEN
Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
I have summoned you by name; you are mine. --Isaiah 43:1

Praise God for conversations with students!
Over the past several months as I've been volunteering with InterVarsity at Hope, I have felt privileged to be included in my students lives. One girl has insisted that I come over to have tea, another wants to make sure she keeps up-to-date with what goes on in my life with Russia and things, and I've been able to build a handful of other good relationships with students through random encounters at the Kletz (student restaurant/coffe bar) and on the sidewalks. And apparently they missed me at Chapter Focus Week!
But I am amazed at how God has been able to use anything and everything to do this. Tonight, I needed some help with an errand relating to my trip to Russia, and one of my students had offered to help me with it. It felt really weird to invite a student along for an errand. But we went to get shakes afterward, and we had a really, really good discussion. God took an errand and turned into a meaningful, witnessing conversation. I feel so honored to have been able to have that discussion with her!
God is moving!
