my roomie pt2

(Yeah...so yall thought I was finished? I never got to the point yesterday :) )

there is no pride, only glory for the Lord our God. I truly believe that. What right do we have to take pride in anything we do or anything that we are when God created and controls everything?

so back to the story...

So no one was representing God and like I said I wasn't crunk and upset about it because of pride, I just didn't want people to hear all of these different things about religion without hearing the TRUTH, not to knock other religions because I love everybody, but as a firm believer in Jesus Christ, I know He's the truth. So since everyone else was giving their religious spin on things, I wanted them to hear the Good News. Well, I kept feeling a tug at my heart because it would not accept the fact that there was nobody to represent God, but I was too much of a chicken to let God use me and the Holy Spirit speak through me. I don't think, well I know, that I am not orally articulate...especially when it comes to explaining something as complex and abstract as Christianity to a large group of tech people. So basically the Spirit was leading me to speak, but I didn't obey...and I felt bad too. Then the bestest roomie in the entire world, Hui, asked one of our Hall Directors if she could talk about Christianity, and she was like sure. However, the Islam presentation ran sooo long and was followed by the Baha'i presentation, so Hui had to agree to let people leave before she began to speak...in case they didn't want to hear about Jesus. So some people left and then the room quieted down. So my roomie began to speak and she was so humble and she seemed a little nervous at first and was breathing hard and she seemed to be reading the crowd for a reaction. She was doing her best to find her words and explain the gospel as clearly as possible and I was just sittin there thinkin, "man. look how awesome God is and Jesus and the Holy Spirit are." I knew that for Hui to stand up there and speak in such a relatively "cold" setting and in front of a lot of people was definitely stepping out of her comfort zone, but I saw that she was relying fully on Jesus and knew it was going to be alright. So, I just kept on smiling at her and trying not to cry. I was so teary eyed. It was so beautiful to me. Her love for Jesus was so strong that it exuberated from her being that she would put herself in such a position so that He might be glorified...and she loved the audience enough to know that they needed to hear what she had to say. We(the other Christians in the room) tried to help her out when answering questions. There were a LOT of questions...especially from the president of the Muslim Students Association. One thing I realized was just how deep Christianity is. I mean I already knew that, but it's like wow. The more you think you know, the more you learn you don't know. That comes into play a lot when you are trying to explain things to non-Christians, but thank God for the Holy Spirit. But yeah, just wanted to say that my roomie is an awesome child of God and I love her! :o)
