Amazing day....

This is funny last week I was complaining to God, that I feel on campus like in different country, because it looks like everybody is catholic there, and I dont understand them, mostly where they are coming from. I really was very discouraged, that I dont connect with students well, and cant really understand them. I totally believed that there is nobody who is not catholic at campus in Presov. And so complaining was growing and frustration too. But today I saw that God hears me even when I am not very nice to Him. He knows what I need, and knows how much I can go thru, even when I feel like it is to much and cant go any farther, He knows, He knows, He knows. I wish I can remember that every second of my life. I wish I dont complain so much and I wish I can trust Him more. Today I went to a meeting with Biba and Peta. We met a girl named Jozka, we did survey with her on the beginning of the semester, but she was not very spiritually interested and we just had very shallow conversation with her. But Peta contacted her and Jozka said that she wants to meet with us. I was like ok I will go meet with her, but in my head I go what am I going to talk to her about, i dont want to waist my time on campus just to talk about weather or something similar- such a selfish attitude. Gabika told me before meeting, well just think about why are you meeting with Jozka. Well I want to tell her about Jesus, just dont know how to start. So we went and I had that motivation in my head. On the beginning Jozka said, I dont have much time because I am going to work out to gym. In my head I go , well maybe no sharing Gospel today, but somehow I knew that she needs to hear about Jesus. Ten minutes latter her friend called her and canceled on her about going to work out. So Jozka didnt go work out, and could stay longer with us. For long time we just talked about different stuff. And it was hard to switch the conversation and talk about Jesus. I started thinking well if this conversation is going to be like this for few more minutes I am just gonna tell her " Jozka we wanted to meet with you to tell you about Jesus", I was not sure how she would react on this, but I was ready to do it. Probably it was not the best idea, and God did helped us to switch the conversation to spiritual stuff. In conversation I asked her if she is a believer. She said loud and sure " No, I am atheist". I was so happy she said that, I know it sounds funny, but for me it was answer to my prayers to meet someone that is sure about their believes. I mean , I think that catholics many times tell me " yes I believe in God, I go to church every sunday", but they have no idea about God, they just think they do. It is so much worse to say that than just say no I dont believe. I dont know if you get it, but I can not explain it better right now. Anyway when Jozka said she is atheist, I knew that I need to tell her my testimony, because I was atheist before and knew nothing about God. But there was a problem I was afraid to start sharing. i know funny. I knew the whole time that God wants me to tell her my testimony, but I was so scared. Funny thing is that Peta and Biba felt the same way and they knew that I need to tell Jozka my testimony. So we all knew somehow, but I was still wondering why Peta or Biba dont tell her their testimonies. I know funny. Finally God kicked my butt and I told her my story. She was listening very carefully, and her face was different. I can tell that she was in shock. I think that my face looked like her when I first time heard of Jesus. She didnt say anything the whole time, but just nod her head. I told her on the end that everybody has to decide if they want to accept Jesus or not. And I finished, and she said "Ok lets go". That was not something I wanted to hear from her. I thought she would say something, but maybe this was her reaction. Once I heard that every man has some reaction on Gospel, so I take it as her reaction was this. I think that she was in shock and probably never heard something like that before. I wish that she will think about it more, but I dont know what she will do. Maybe I will never see her again, but maybe she will make decision for Jesus. I dont know, but God knows, He knows. I believe that nothing is coincidence, and I believe that God was behind this meeting with Jozka. I needed encouragement and Jozka needed to hear about Jesus, because everybody needs to hear about Jesus. I pray that she will know God personally one day. Kind of long but I wanted to write it here....
