all who are thirsty on wednesdays

I tried looking for Emily’s neglected email about our conversation partners… Sorry, Emily. I just couldn’t find it in the sea of emails that is my inbox T.T

So I decided to just post about my conversation partner stuff on tumblr instead because its easier.

My partner is culturally Christian. He grew up going to church but I don’t think he knows what it means to live as a Christian, or if he’s even encountered God in a real life-changing way yet. He’s talked to me about his views and past experiences with the church. He believes, but not urgently. God and Jesus is an impersonal factor to him at this point, just something to be contemplated from a distance and at his own pace, over the span of his lifetime. He also has a gf who is agnostic. She definitely influences him a lot and questions a lot of things about Christianity. This keeps him from wanting to delve further for himself and I think he’s in a complacent spot right now in terms of his spiritual journey.But he enjoys our conversations about God and openly accepted to be my conversation partner.

Im supposed to meet up with  today and have our first chat, but he asked if he could bring his girl friend….this kind of threw me off my loop because since they’re at different points of their spiritual journey and come from different backgrounds, I usually tend to cater my approach accordingly. But when they’re together, its hard for me to go anywhere deep in either direction because they influence each other and it gets complicated…

So I really need God’s grace on me today. I need Him to use me and for His words to speak through, not mine, His wisdom, not mine. I trust that God will handle this situation perfectly in His accord. That is all =)

Thanks for praying!
