Today in the Blue Apple, there was a lot of people attending Bursley Game Night. The two groups sent over were greatly out numbered. At first I was hoping to see some people from frizbee yesterday at the reflection pool, but very few came out. The rest of the people are all strangers. I was dissapointed because I wanted to build deeper relationship with some of them, and I was thinking: how can I do that when they don't even show up? we started playing games with some people, and as more and more people came in, the Blapple because really loud and crowded. My dissapointment became bigger, I prayed to God :"God I am not coming up here to just play some board games with these freshmen, and if this is the only purpose, I'd rather go down and bring people to the movie night. And if this room-full of people is who your heart is after, then don't let this night go by like this. Show me you are here."
After that, for about 3 hours, God was just moving like crzay. Dan and I shared the gospel with a Thai Buddhist, and he was really touched by it and wanted to bring his devout-buddhist mom to new encounter. He said that he went to an international school in Thai and it is Catholic run, but no one told him the Good News. I felt the spirit moving in him. More over, in the middle of sharing the gospel, this other guy jumped into the discussion while playing monopoly, and was going in between the game and the conversation. After the Thai person left, Dan and I were able to have a great conversation with him who was born in a Christian family but doesn't understand how Jesus is both human and God, and this whole concept of trinity. What's crazy is that he is really curious about what the truth is and really passionate about finding out the truth, that he is willing to push back the date of going home to celebrate his brother's birthday so that he could make it to New Encouter. We all decided we are gonna learn more about the concept of the trinity together.
God is truely there tonight, and he moves in directions that I cannot imagin. Even I was a little dissapointed starting off, I was sooo privileged and blessed coming out. All the glory is His, and I'm speechless about how a simple prayer (more like a complaint) could be brought so far. He is crazy and alive!!!! He doens't need my plans and visions. All he needs is a simple act of obedience that when opportunity comes, Jean, you take it. God is soooo good and there are gonna be greater things to come!
