Ever find yourself writing in a blog rather than doing the five page paper you should be writing? Mmm... yes that is me and that is what I should be doing. Any way facebook is no longer an interesting place to procrastinate because of all the silly applications and games. Although I would like to share, I found the most interesting thing about an old acquaintance from high school.
I will not disclose her name, so we will call her Jane. Jane was one of the most popular girls in high school, not for looks, but for her attitude, spunk, and fearlessness. We had our last class in high school together, and I remember her talking about the things she would be doing with guys and what she did last weekend with some older college friends at a frat party. They were not pleasant stories. I was sad for her because she did tell me at one point she didn't know if she could ever be in my position as a Christian. She thought it was boring. At that time in my life, I probably portrayed it that way for some reason. I wish I hadn't, but there is more to this other story.
So today I found her on facebook through one of her status posts. It was a very encouraging note about God. I was shocked. not because it was about God, but because the quote showed something deeper that she was learning. I was curious about what else she posted, so I followed her status' back a ways and almost every post was about her change of heart, how she was lost but now she is found, how she was so thankful for Jesus and his undying love.
Oh my goodness. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. This girl who I thought was so lost was now so found. I wanted to say something about what I was seeing in her, and tell her I was encouraged, but I didn't. But I WAS encouraged. I'm happy she found the Lord and pray she continues on that path.
