panther tracts.

this weekend I had an RA conference to attend at the university of northern iowa. before leaving I was thinking about the different possibilities of where and how I was going to get a tract out. I knew it was going to take some extra help from God because I was going to have to be a little bit more bold and way outside of my comfort zone. back home now, I was blown away these last two days by the opportunities God gave me! here's how He moved:

+on the road we stopped at a casey's for a break and I gave one to the cashier. my million dollar bills have a photo of Obama on them and she was not to pleased about that. I hope she read the back.

+we had about an hour wait at texas roadhouse so I engaged in conversation with an older couple next to me. as they left when their number got called, I gave them a tract. the man was a little hesitant but gave it to his wife who seemed grateful.

+I left a million dollar tract with a generous tip for our server, Brooke.

+we stayed at a days inn and I went to "get an extra blanket" from the girl working the desk, and I asked her to read a tract, she stopped and read it right in front of me! I waited, and I asked if she had ever asked herself that question before and she said no but that she didn't really care. I just told her to keep it and that it was something to think about.

+I was in and out of sessions all day and there were a few people that I began to recognize as they attended a lot of the same sessions as me. I gave Emily, Ryan, & Leif tracts at some point throughout the day. all three were very kind and thankful for receiving one.

+we stopped at starbucks in the afternoon and I gave the college girl behind us a tract which she read right there in line! after she read the tract I asked her, "had you ever asked yourself that question before?" she said, "no, have you?" I chuckled a little and said, "yes, and it changed my life." she just smiled and put it in her purse. I then left one with our barista as well.

+we had a catered dinner that evening and I left one on our table before we left. I saw another man walk by and pick it up to look at it. I turned around and asked a guy from his group if he wanted one too, he said yes and took it! he was a little disappointed in such small print on the back of the fake bill, but I trust it will allow him to concentrate a little more on such an important Message.

+back at the hotel that night a new girl was working the desk. I made a phone call out in the lobby and on my way back to the room I left a tract with Amelia. she was grateful for the gift.

1.31.10

+we only stopped once on the trip back, so I left one with Jocelyn, our cashier at the kum & go. she received it with a smile.

+stopped at a grocery store to get some milk and left one with our cashier. she was thankful.

But may all who search for You be filled with joy and gladness in You. May those who love Your salvation repeatedly shout, "God is great!"
