the world's about to change.

4.14.10
+my lab got out early this day and I hadn't given out a tract yet, so before the rock I wandered around the student center. I found a girl on a couch and handed her a tract.

4.15.10
+I stopped at brueggers bagels and handed my tract to Mark as I went through the drive-thru.

4.16.10
+handed a tract to a girl in front of building M in maverick village.

4.17.10
+I was working the desk all day, as usual, and two campus security guards came in. I tried to find some information for them, help them out, etc. they stayed for a little while and we chatted (about church actually!) but before they left I handed them both tracts.

4.18.10
+handed a tract to a girl walking down to the UV valley.

4.19.10
+while I was waiting for my friend, I gave a girl sitting on a bench near me a tract.
+gave a tract to a girl named Nickie after we shared the gospel with her. after me and my friend talked to her, we ended up finding out she is the cousin of one of our really good friends in our church! we know she has heard the truth before. I pray one day it clicks.
+I also made a stop at hy-vee to get some food for my program. I handed Tim a tract as I left with all my junk food that the university paid for! woohoo!

4.20.10
+handed a tract to a guy walking into building A while I was on my rounds.

4.21.10
+I got the opportunity to hand a tract to a classmate named Alex. he is in several of my classes and was one that I have been praying for the opportunity to share with him. God answered.

4.22.10
+after work I stopped at zorinsky lake to kill some time. a random lady stopped her car to ask me directions. I don't really know the lake that well so I don't think I really helped her, but I felt this was a divine appointment to give her a tract! she said she would read it.

4.23.10
+my friends and I participated in relay for life this weekend. it was very tiring, but a blast! at the beginning we were helping some people set up their tent. here I met Taylor, and we talked for awhile. I ran into her/saw her several times throughout the night, and just kept praying that she would be the one I get to share with or at least give a tract to. God opened the door! she was so kind and just very willing to talk and listen. it was a good conversation and I am so thankful I got to know her. she said she would read the tract later, when she wasn't so tired! I pray Taylor comes to know Christ personally.

4.24.10
+stopped by taco-bell and handed a tract to the lady working drive-thru.

4.25.10
+handed a tract to a man as he was getting on his motorcycle.

4.26.10
+went to hy-vee to get some ice cream with my roommates! I handed a tract to Shirley.

4.27.10
+I made a late night stop to hy-vee on a mission for poster board. hy-vee was out. so. I drove over to bakers! God was obviously taking me there instead! as I grabbed my piece of (cheaper!) white poster board, I headed over to my lane. there was only one open, and the people ahead of me had a lot of stuff. the man in front of me told me to go to self check-out. "but then I don't get to give a tract!" I thought in my mind. I stubbornly told him I was going to stay in line. he then insisted that I go ahead of him since all I had was poster board. I said, no, it's okay, I can wait! he told me I must be a very patient person... I then told him I like to give something to cashiers when I go through the lind. he said "well, we all have our reasons." (??) he then went on to talk about his 4 teenage boys and how they made him come to the store. we small talked and then all the sudden I was asking him if I could give him what I give the cashiers. he said sure! and that he was excited to read it. my cashier, Margaret saw obama's face and said she wanted some obama money-this was before I even had asked her! then! the bagger lady, Pam, said that she wanted one too! I have never had anyone ask me for one so excitedly as these ladies did. Margaret even told me to come back, that she works all the time, and that I should ask her what she thinks. guess you know where I'll be getting my groceries soon!

4.28.10
+I handed a tract to a man walking down the stairs in the student center.

may it be a sweet, sweet sound in Your ears.

4.5.10
+ate lunch at red robin and I left a tract on our table for our server.
+made a trip to the dmv...I'm turning 21 in two weeks! I left a tract with Jennifer, who took my picture.
+stopped by no frills to pick up a box of brownies, and I gave one to Ashley, my cashier.

4.6.10
+I needed to return my two books to the library so before I left, I stuck three tracts in my pocket. I handed one to a girl walking out, and then I got the idea to slide the other two tracts inside my books! I hope someone finds them someday!

4.7.10
+made a stop at trusty old wal-mart and left a tract with Lori.

4.8.10
+I was walking by the library again, and handed a man a tract. he was hesitant to take it, asking if I had one for myself. I told him I had lots and that that one was just for him!

4.9.10
+wal-mart gained my business once again and I left a tract with Cassandra. I also tried to give one to my sacker, but she said she already had one and had read it. she didn't seem to happy about it. I prayed for both of them.
+I also tried to give one to a girl a noodles & company, but she gave it back because she said she was a christian and wanted me to give the Message to someone who still needed to hear it. cool!

4.10.10
+I handed a tract to an older man that was walking into hper.
+there is a new card-slider worker at hper (secretly, my dream job...) so I left a tract with him as well.

4.11.10
+I handed a track to a student walking back to his dorm.

4.12.10
+stopped by my favorite grocery store, bakers and left a tract with my cashier.
+later, me & some friends went to coldstone (the best!!) and left tracts with the two cashier guys. it was cool because they were almost closed and so they were really busy getting receipts together, closing the drawer, ect., but when I handed them the tracts, the stopped what they were doing and started to read them.

4.13.10
+at work today, I was leaving and I asked my nurse co-worker if there was anything else I could do for her before I left. Vicki sarcastically said "yeah, you could give me a million dollars." I immediately reached down and pulled out a million dollar tract and said, "actually, I do have that!" I asked her to read the back, she smiled & laughed and said she would. I have been praying for this woman who desperately needs a savior. I've been praying that God would give me these "tract" opportunities at work. He is so faithful!

april.

3.31.10
+this day I got a little creative. I stopped at the bank to cash a check and as I grabbed my money, I left a "do you know for certain?" tract in the little circle container, you know, at the teller window. (what are those called?) now, I'm not certain if the teller will get it, or the person who came after me, but I trust God allowed someone to see it.

4.1.10
+with that cash, I stopped at bucky's on my way to a visit home, and paid Connie. I also left her with a million dollar tract.

4.2.10
+on my lunch break from work I was craving a salty snack. I stopped in at shopko and looked around for a bit. I decided to just purchase some cheese ritz bits and leave Carol a tract.

4.3.10
+it was a late nighter, (man--I am so thankful for a college campus where someone is always awake!) and I was wondering around, praying, and ended up giving a tract to a guy walking quickly by. I asked if he would read it and he responded with a "heck yeah!"

4.4.10
+for some odd reason, after stuffing my face all day with grandma's noodles this easter sunday, I was still hungry and craving some ice cream. so late tonight, I unusually left my dorm, and drove down to wendy's for a chocolate frosty. mmm. I left my tract with April. It's weird because normally once I'm in for the night-I'm in. but I left on a little adventure. I prayed for her and the other workers at wendy's.
