Day at the Park

We arrive at the Austin park about 1:00pm ate lunch and out we go to engage the public. It is really hard for me with this aspect of evangelism. After a talk with my friend Brittney, she helped me to remember how I use to talk with strangers with out a second thought, but when I know I am trying to turn the conversation towards the Gospel it is incredibly difficult. Her suggestion was to quit trying to make it happen, go back to talking to others as I use to, as a friend and not a target. The advice was good and reminded me that in that I can trust God to help the conversation open up for a chance to share His message. On the way back to meet the group I saw a man sitting at a picnic table by himself. My first thought was well we are leaving in 30min so I will just go back to the group. Thankfully God was not gonna let that one slide. I sat with the man, and introduced myself, we talked about were he was from and what I was out in Austin doing, the conversation went well and did not lead to God, but He exchanged numbers and might attend Church with our group tomorrow. God is good, my doubt is shameful, He will glorify His name. We shall see what happens next on this journey...
