Problems and challenges constantly arise during our weekly programs. While these issues are difficult to deal with we still know that God can use every “challenge” for His good. Recently, Katherine Hedglen, Community Liaison, was involved in one of these amazing opportunities.
"Micha and LaQuisha are both on the same "small group". Often, they don't get along. Last week, the two girls got into a fight. Both were sent to time out to cool down and work through the problem. In time out, both girls claimed the other started the fight. We talked about some different solutions for when someone starts trouble with us. We settled on several alternate possibilities - all agreeing that the wrong answer was to begin fighting.
However, the moment Micha thought I was not looking, she left her chair and attacked LaQuisha again. LaQuisha refused to fight her. I was very excited to see LaQuisha applying some very difficult things that we had been talking about.
This week, Micha was back. She stayed behind after large group to ask what would happen if someone chose not to believe on Jesus for salvation. I asked her what she thought, and she answered very carefully. It seems that she had been thinking about this question recently. We talked about sin, God's punishment for sin, and how believing on Jesus was the only way to avoid God's punishment. Micha wanted to think about our conversation and talk with me some more next week.
I have been really excited to see what God is doing in her life these past few weeks. It seems that God sometimes uses difficult times in lives to lead people to him. Pray that God is doing just that with Micha right now!"
