Passion Fruit

Maybe my title is a bit of a stretch but it perfectly describes tonight. Thank God that today was better than yesterday! Mind you I still found myself being attacked through a futile family drama and my sister and I immediately discerned that this was not of God. Then I went and cried to God and then He gave me the strength in the midst of it all to say, no, I will not give my joy and victory to the enemy and that the only way to show the enemy that the plan to distract, disappoint and depress me is not going to work. I decided to stop crying, to stop worrying, and to start reading my textbook! And sure enough everything went back to normal like this never happened!

Tonight it was crazy how God ministered to me! It all started with a powerful Bible Study that isn't your traditional Bible study. Through the renewing of the mind and fellowship, there was new strength, new joy and a new passion! Sure enough two girls from the Bible study and I went to the local Canadian coffee shop ( yes, it's Tim Hortons for those wondering). There we discussed great matters such as God's will, and success and conviction and lo and behold here comes a student from my class who has always talked to me about class. I have found favor in her sight by God's doing only and she basically implied her respect towards me in my excelling in school work. Basically I found out her name just today, introduced her to my other friends and then she kept coming back to give ask me questions about the course. Then I actually send her and her friends my notes! And by the way, these were unsaved people, non believers! And guess what my notes or power point slides have my prayers to God in them! And even the saved document is called Glory to God! Then I keep meeting another unsaved friend who even told me today that she sat beside me because she thought I was smart. God showed me that even though He didn't reveal my exact purpose in life, there is work for me to do here and doing my readings and excelling in class according to His Spirit is more important than I originally thought!
