Day 65

Today was a good day.. but a sad one. Today was our last Arabic class. :o( I know I have mentioned it in past blogs, but our teacher, Lodi, has been such a blessing and encouragement. Her love for Christ permeates through her smile, her speech, her actions.... in every way. We were hoping to be able to go to church with her before we left, but it hasn't worked out. Today we sat and had coffee and fellowshipped, talking about the wonderful love and mercy of our Savior. Then we came back to Walid's to cram in as much as possible for us to study while we are in the States. I will miss her dearly. You know how sometimes you meet another believer and it is as if you have known that person your whole life? That is Lodi. So my prayer requests tonight are for her. Her husband and children are saved, but she has other family members that are not. They are nominal Christians, not true believers and they don't understand her faith. Pray that the Lord would give her grace and wisdom as she lives out the Gospel and shares it in their lives. Pray that the Lord would continue to use her for His glory. Most of all pray that the Lord would give her more of Himself. He is her all in all, her greatest joy and utmost desire... it is so evident in her life. I wish everyone could meet her! I am grateful that the Lord gave me such an opportunity.
