Girl in Psych class

There is this girl in my psych class who I think is really cool. She is smart, compassionate, and someone who I am becoming friends with.

For those of you that don't know I do not talk about God at all with people I do not know. AT ALL. We were studying last week and we were taking a break and she said the following:

A: Okay I have a question and you are going to think that I am psycho.
K: Okay what?
A: Do you ever think that you hear God?
K: What do you mean?
A: Well I was at work last week and I was talking to a co-worker and I started telling her about my life and then I started telling her that I knew that God had a plan for my life and a purpose. I didn't really know that until I said it.
K:That's really interesting...
A: Have you ever done anything like that?
K: Yeah I have. I totally believe that God speaks to us, and I think he talks to me.
A: Do you go to church or anything?
K: Yeah
A: I went to church for the first time in my life last week with my boyfriend and I hated it...people seemed like they were judging me.
K: I have a great church...very comfortable it is my home. It meets in a coffee shop. I sometimes share on Sunday mornings. (I told her about sponge bob day and God's love message)
A: Wow that sounds neat.
K: Yeah it's fun
A: Yeah I wish I could fine a place where I wasn't feeling judged.
(The conversation went on for awhile)
A: I am really glad that we talked about this. I love that you are a normal person, you know you drink and stuff...I really feel like you are someone who I can talk to about this stuff.

COMPLETELY BLEW ME AWAY!

Now I would not think EVER in any of the interactions I have with people they would know I were a christian with my words, but I listen.

I think listening is something that is vital in showing God's love to people. Being present in their lives.

It is good...
