My husband and I attended a wedding in his hometown and were catching up with his childhood friends. One friend and his wife have been atheists for the past 15 years. She came running up to me at the wedding saying “I believe in God now and have started going to church! I couldn’t wait to tell you because of our past conversations about Jesus!” She called me a few days later and shared her incredible story of accepting Jesus and asked if we could talk regularly to help answer questions she has about the Bible. Please pray God would continue to grow Allison’s relationship with Jesus and her husband would come to know God too!

I posted last week (I think) that I was having spiritual conversations with the receptionist at my doctor’s office. I texted her over the weekend to tell her I was watching the TV series on the Spanish channel that she recommended about Moses and the 10 Commandments. She was so excited that I was watching and enjoying it. I had ordered her a Spanish Bible and yesterday I took it to her. I put a bookmark in Exodus 2 to mark where the story of Moses begins. She asked if she could give me a hug and said she is so thankful for the Bible and started crying. At my last appointment she and I talked about Lent and I told her how I was observing Lent. She said yesterday that she had been reading about fasting so we talked about it for a few minutes. I told her I continue to pray for her and that I’ll see her next week at my next appointment.

Today marks 9 months since my husband died, and today I was able to share with someone about the healing that God has done in my heart in the last few months. It was a complete stranger online in a local Facebook group who was loudly protesting another believers post about Easter. He stated more than once that God hates him, and asking for proof of God at the same time. After going multiple rounds of replies, I finally told them that the best proof I can provide is the change in my own heart. How God met me in my deepest grief and dispare. How He only asked for my surrender and when I did, willingly, wholeheartedly surrender to Him, He HEALED my broken heart! He took my pain and in its place, He gave me joy, His joy! I continue to pray for this person, that God will show them unequivocally how much He loves them too and desires to make them whole again, in Him!!
