Yesterday I got to my Physics class a good 20 minutes early (which is sad, because it means I could have slept another 20 minutes--no, I'm kidding, really!), and I was reading my Bible while I was waiting. Now I will frequently get my reading in before class if I get there early enough, since my day doesn't seem to start right if I don't begin with the Bible. However, no one has ever commented on it before.
But yesterday a girl walked over to me. She wanted to know what I was reading, because it looked like a Bible. Turns out that her name is Dana, she's been a Christian for 6 years, and she had noticed my reading before and wondered if I was a Christian too. So I met another sister! That really made my day. She talked a little bit with me about a book she was reading that her pastor recommended. She had wanted a book that would give her a good way to explain the inability of Man to save himself--thus the necessity for salvation through Jesus Christ. She had been talking with some Muslim women who found this the biggest stumbling block to their understanding of Christianity and Christ. Hence this book, which she is going to let me borrow when she's finished.
That really excited me--I try to keep on track while I'm at school, focusing on my walk with Christ even while I'm learning about sonographs and standing waves--and it isn't easy for me! So this was a blessing--sort of a tap on the shoulder from God--a definite encouragement!
I had one other very interesting conversation with someone else about Christianity and religion the same day, before my next class...but I actually have to run right now--I'm doing an interview with a Muslim girl named Fatima for my World Music Appreciation class, and that's at 1, so....see y'all in a bit! *grin*
By the way, I hope you all appreciate that I'm taking time out of my busy schedule to (semi) keep this blog up!
