The open doors... I'll take it

So I was at work today and an amazing thing happened. I got to share my testimony with my boss. It was interesting how this came about. I'm always telling people I'm gonna pray for them or their family. I told my boss I would pray about a situation regarding his living space and he chuckled at me and said that "That's okay." as if to say it's not necessary I don't believe in prayer. I said that's okay I did. I was still gonna pray. Conversation ends. A few hours later he notices this gift I received from my friend Tiffany years ago- It's a cross shaped card holder that holds memory verse cards... so he starts asking about it and if I change the cards every day. I say it depends. Sometimes I like to keep a verse there for a while. He then starts asking if I'm catholic or what I believe. I told him I'm a born-again Christian. He asks how I came to believe what I believe. I started to share to him about going to VBS -- Vacation Bible School. I told him that I learned about Christ and how they shared the gospel about how Jesus died on the cross and rose again and how we as sinners need to repent and to truly be followers there must be a change.. a change in the way we live... meanwhile he's listening. I tell him how though I had accepted Christ I was still stagnant and I didn't really start growing and living out my faith until I moved here and became involved with my church family. I was so fun being able to share this much and to just use my life to show that i'm the way I am because of God's grace. I hope I'll get to share more with my boss. I pray that God is drawing him to HIM. Pray this with me also.


So in saying all this I was compelled to finally write my friend Ang who I've been witnessing to for years. I shared this story of being able to witness to my boss what I believe is my call to missions in the now. I talked about my desire to be in foreign missions but how God closed those doors. I said I was just waiting and at time would be frustrated in at not knowing what God wanted me to do... then I realized my mission field is here. Wherever I am that where I need to be preaching the Gospel. I've known this for a while but today it seemed so much more evident that God says hey... you want a chance to share with unbelievers-- well here you go I'll open doors for you to work in places where they need the Gospel. I am blessed that I have been given a story to share to others and that they are willing to here. Pray that I will have many more opportunities to share with many of my co-workers. Seeds planted. God is growing them. Just plant seeds and love the sinners as Christ loved me.
