Tonight I was over at Je's place cooking dinner for her as she had a break from studying in library. After she ate we chatted before her flatmate Melanie brought a friend into the kitchen, Caroline. We just chatted about models, about looks etc. I was look through my camera and deleting old pics. Melanie also looked through some pics and asked about Sarah's dance performance which I mentioned took place in a church.
When Je went away to shower, I was left with the two girls and Caroline picked up the point that I go to chuch and asked if I was Catholic or Protestant. Then the three of us had a long coversation about faith and religion. Turns out Caroline grew up in Catholic primary school but she decided not to go to Catholic secondary school because she did not believe in the stuff she was taught, however she still has some sort of 'faith' in something.
The conversation was challenging for me and it happened when I leasted expected it. However, I managed to share about mum's hands healed by God after going to church, and also how my faith in God developed through the years as I experienced Him more. =)
Then I had to rush off to take Je back to uni library because she was afraid her books and notes may be taken away by students as they were left unattended for so long. So Je was quite panicky. We prayed before I drove off, and I drove quickly to the library and asked Je to call or text me with the 'result' once she goes upstairs. I waited in car praying and holding my silent phone asking God to have mercy on Je who is trying to study and I asked that God will not let this be an obstacle to Je's studies as she was already struggling.
After about ten minutes, I heard footsteps run from behind the car and saw it was Je. I thought she ran out crying that her books were gone, but instead she had a smile on her face and told me the books were stilll there. 'Yes! Praise God!' was my first reaction! =)
That Lord is gracious! And I think I should start a Grace Book. =)
