God works in and around us... even where we think there is no way!

I got an email the other day from a friend who I hadn’t talked to in years. I was open with her about my faith and sent her updates every once in a while about what was going on in my life, prayer requests and all. I had no idea where she was in her spiritual walk, but I just kept being real with her.
Well, I hadn’t communicated with her, except for my Christmas, and moving updates, etc. Then a year since I had last heard from her I got an email thanking me for my friendship and asking for prayer! I found this so encouraging, I had no idea if I had had any impact on her life, but apparently I had!
Keep being a light and being real with those around you, you do not know what kind of impact you might be having!
God is so amazing… this happened later that same day again! Someone who I had been praying for for a long time and hadn’t heard from in about a year sent me a message encouraging me to keep following Christ and that the words that I shared with them have helped and encouraged them a lot this last while.
I was having a really rough day when I got these emails… God has His timing and knows when we need encouragement!
Then the other day we were having a chapel at school where everyone was supposed to take time to encourage someone who is on their hearts. This is always a neat experience, it is so surprising who makes a point to encourage me. People that I think I have not connected with at all, or who I think I have just not been able to gel with at all end up walking up to me and thanking me, praying for me and encouraging me. I find this so interesting! People who I think I have not had an effect on at all end up thanking me for who I am and what I have done in their lives!God works in people, even when we don’t know it!
