As I was doing my dishes I just had this really strong urge to blog about this so that those who view it might pray tomorrow...
Over this last week God has really been pressing on my heart the idea of thinking missionally where you are at right now and to not put it off. Then last night I went to the Way (after not going for about 4 months) with Emily and Kara. The discussion was about not forgetting God's heart for the world, he calls us to the widows and the orphans. What really convicted me was the fact that I haven't even had the heart or guts to reach out to my own family! This breaks my heart and I just know it breaks God's heart. Yesterday I felt this call like I've never felt before to take action. So tomorrow I'm starting to do something about it. I'm going to invite my grandma out for coffee and just talk to her about her relationship with God. I know that she used to go to church a long time ago, when my mom was little, but I've never talked to her about it. I feel like in the past she has been hurt by the church and by religious people, so I hope that by just opening up to her in honesty and love that she will see the true heart of Jesus.
If you are reading this please pray! Please pray that I would have boldness, that she would have an open heart, that Jesus reveals himself to her, and that he would welcome another beloved daughter into his arms. Amen.
