he other day, I was working at the retirement village as usual and I was wearing the carry the call t-shirt, the one that has John 1:1-4 at the back of it.
As I was carrying the pile of dishes to the counter, Mr H wheeled his chair over to me and asked me, "How do you know it's true? That verse at the back. How do you know it's for real?"
I told him I knew that God was real because of how he worked in my life, that how he brought so much meaning into my life was so real and so supernatural that I couldn't put it into words. I knew it was definitely something I couldn't do on my own strength.. that I was fully convinced it was God.. that I knew He had to be the Creator of everything.
I thought he was going to start this theological debate with me but, he didn't. Phew! Mr B overheard our conversation and smiled at me saying, "I'm glad he's doing some good in your life."
Hehs. What could I have said? I didn't really know how to answer his question but that was the first thing that popped into my mind.
Anyhow, to share with them about God, it just felt amazing. The rest of the evening, I kept wondering how many of them knew Christ, how I could really reach out to them.
I try to be as warm and friendly as I can.. as helpful as I can, but is that enough? Don't know how to show that I care. ahh.. I'm thinking too much. I'm always thinking too much.
Really, they're all so sweet, although there are times where they can be a tad bit fussy.
Now everytime Mr H sees me, if I'm not wearing the red carry the call t-shirt, he'll ask, "where's your t-shirt?" And he always refers to me as "the girl with the Jesus t-shirt.." I think I like to be called that, "the girl with the Jesus t-shirt." =)
