Initiative

I took the initiative to share the gospel, leaving the results to God, and ...

...it felt amazing. I got to share the 4 laws with a student named Kaitlin Foley. She is a freshman from Omaha, NE (an instant bond for us). I was informed by other students who care for her that I should talk to her about her faith because she had a lot of questions that they were having trouble answering. I had talked to her a bit about those questions at the Lee Strobel event with other students around. Then, I asked her to meet with me alone so I could get more in depth. We ended up going through the booklet and it definitely challenged her idea of what a Christian technically is (a believer vs. a church-goer). I am still leaving the results to God. She has not yet "received Christ" in the way that the booklet says to do. I am waiting for the Holy Spirit to convict her heart and that she will give her life to Him fully instead of focusing on all of the questions that she has. She is learning that she can have faith in something without knowing everything.
