Recently, our team made T-shirts for a fund raiser. We were on our way to sell them in front of Wal-Mart (try not to just ignore the people in front of your Wal-Mart...it is not easy to stand there and ask for money...it's usually for a good cause too). I stopped by Walgreens Drug Store to print some pictures for a poster I made. The lady who printed had so much fun looking through these pictures. She was full of questions when I came back to pick them up. She started to cry when I was telling her some of the stories. She told me that her mother and her sister recently passed away. She said the night before she was telling God that He needed to send someone into her life to show her that He exists and loves her. God used ME!!! ME!! She said that looking at those pictures showed her how God takes care of His people. After a lot of hugging and tears...she ended up buying two T-shirts :)!!!
On this past trip, we spent a few days at the Red Sea in Egypt. We were there for a time of debrief before going onto Israel. Our group was really excited about being there and we were really enjoying life. There was a man who worked at the computer lab at our hostel. He interacted with all of us a lot...we did not have internet access very often, so we were writing everyone!! On the day we were leaving we exchanged email addresses. That was at the end of January. Well...just the other day I got an email from him asking if I could tell him about Jesus!
It is so cool to me that we (the people who go on these trips) have NO CLUE of the impact that is made on the lives of people around the world!
