"Lord... give me the gift of faith to be renewed and shared with others each day. Teach me to live this moment only, looking neither to the past with regret, nor the future with apprehension. Let love be my aim and my life a prayer." ~Roseann Alexander-Isham

Witness

On my way to meet Nichole at the subway station, I was stopped by a Korean lady. She asked if I knew who God was? I answered yes, that I knew God and was a Christian, she asked me what church I went to. After, I told her she proceeded to say that she was with the Church of God....and tried to witness....I think.

She kept asking if I knew God's name. I am still not sure what she wanted to know. She went to scripture. First, to Matthew 28:19-20, and pointed to Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. I said these where titles, which Pastor Hardwick shared once and that the LORD JESUS CHRIST, were the names to those titles. One God manifested in three. She said 'NO' and went to John 6:49-51 and asked what manna was. When she didn't like my answer she went to Revelation 22:17 and asked who the bride was. Now when I told her we were, the church....well, you should have heard her 'NO' this time.

Now remember by this time I am late to meet Nichole, I had text her to say I was there....but hadn't heard back from her. I kept trying to get away from this lady. I told her I believed and that I knew Jesus died on the cross for my sins. I asked her if she knew John 3:16, but she would not accept my responses. I was praying please God, either give me the words to say or a way out. Just then Nichole called me. Praise God!!

The strange thing for me is how I was able to remember the scripture she used.

Nichole and I went to meet up with the other 20/30 Somethings that were skating. Then 12 of us went to dinner, to a 'noraebang', and ended the night at 'Starbucks'.

I had Burger King because I am getting a little tired of Korean food all the time. It was the best meal I've had in awhile. I think that is kind of sad.

The 'Noraebang' you'll all find interesting. It is a room that you rent and sing Karaoke in.

It was a good night. Though I am laughing, we should just call the group '20 Somethings and a 30ish'
