It Never Rains...It Pours

God is still in the business of working Miracles. Amen? Yes! He is! I have been trying to keep my Sundays free, but this last Sunday, I decided that I would go out door-to-door trying to get some more bible studies going. I only had about 4 and I am trying to work up to at least 20! It is estimated that you have to knock on over a hundred doors to get one person to agree to anything. Which means...I have a LONG ways to go!

I had been feeling slightly overwhelmed and frustrated with my current situation of going door-to-door by myself. I had been hearing all over..mind you, not once, not twice, but several times that Lake County (the county I am in) has the most sex-offenders in Central Florida. Not a very comforting thought for a 100 pound-5'2"-19 year old girl!

I talked to my dad and he told me I needed to pray. Pray about all the things I needed to pray about, and pray that God would lead me to the right people. So, I prayed. I said, God, can you please PLEASE, help me find some people to have bible studies with today?

I called some of the people I have been trying to get ahold of for weeks now, and finally TWO of them answered the phone, and said YES to personal bible studies! Praise God! One had moved, and the other one was supposed to be a drop-off study that turned into a personal study. At least that's what she agreed to! :)

I went to an apartment area I had been eyeing but saving for a time when I saw a lot of cars there, and was sad to see that it said "No Soliciting" so, I called Mike and said, "Can we go in there?" We're not asking for money! He told me that I should just go in and if they say "No Soliciting" explain what I am doing, and hope for the best! I went to the doors, and withing 24 doors, I had SIX BIBLE STUDIES signed up! I got a little worried that my schedule would get mixed up, so I ran back to the car to check my schedule to see what was left. Especially since everyone seemed to be asking for Tuesday! So far, I have 5 people that want studies on Tuesdays! I went back going door-to-door and by the end of the evening had a total of 11 people (including the two phone calls) signed up for bible studies! Praise GOD!!!!

I was floating on air. After going door-to-door quite a few times with no one setting up an ACTUAL appointment for Bible Studies, I felt like God had poured out Heaven's blessings on me. You can be so tired, tired of walking, tired of rejections, but when you find just ONE person, it all seems worth it! AND I was blessed with 11! It was truly from God. There was no other way anything like that could have happened.

My prayer that asked for five people (and I thought I was asking a lot for one day) was answered and more than doubled! God is Good!
