Today's assignment

Well, I started school and so far it has been amazing! Yay!! My online peers are just fabulous and such wonderful people. They're so encouraging and I pray I bless them as much as they bless me. 
Yesterday we started a conference called "Living Jesus" and we have had some of the most amazing speakers. 
We've also had these assignments where we are to go out and find people to pray for. Now if any of you know me, I've wanted to do some street witnessing for a long time. Anyway, today I decided to go to Wal-Mart and before I left I got a picture of a older lady with reddish hair, glasses and a blue shirt over in the cleaning isle. So I go to Wal-mart and while I'm walking toward the front doors, the whole time I'm praying "God please let there be a lady in there with red hair, glasses and a blue shirt. Please give me the words because I don't have a clue what I'm supposed to say or do". I get in there and I'm walking toward that section of the store and I'm just looking for this woman. I get to the cleaning isle and there was a woman that had red hair, glasses on her head and a blue shirt. I thought to myself "NOOOO WAY!!" and kept walking. I stopped and was like "I need to go talk to her", so I went back and she had left that isle, but I found her one isle over. I was so nervous and felt so awkward, but I pressed in and walked up to her. I explained why I was there and that I was supposed to talk to her. She smiled and said "Oh bless you, I'm gonna give you a hug and kiss, but I'm in a hurry, but you're gonna do great!" and started telling me what she needed to do and rushed away. She almost over emphatically blew me off. I was left a little stunned and wasn't quite sure what to think. I thought "God, surely that's not what was supposed to happen". Left a little discouraged, I decided I was gonna walk around and see if there was anyone else that might fit that description, because surely that wasn't the encounter that was planned! I walk around starting to feel defeated and found a bench where I sat down. I sat for a few minutes and I thought to myself "NO! I'm going to step out in faith and pray for someone"!! So I jumped up walked around the corner into the halloween isle and asked the lady there if I could practice praying with her and why. She gave me an answer (which I don't recall exactly) that gave me indication she didn't believe and didn't want to pray. So I asked if I could pray for her in my own time and she said that would be fine. She gave me her name and some things to pray for and we went our separate ways. That's TWO strikes!! I thought "I'm not giving up yet" all the while I'm feeling very discouraged. So I go back to the photo department and there is an older lady with red hair. No glasses, no blue shirt, but I thought " what the heck, I'll give it a shot". So I walk up to this lady and told her that I was suppose to talk to a lady with red hair. I didn't mention the other things thinking maybe I had misinterpreted. She is very apprehensive to talk to me. I ask her if I could pray with her about anything and she told me that she attends church regularly and has people at her church to pray for/with her. I asked if there was anything right then and she replied "Well I pray for myself" as she is backing away from me. I could see that she couldn't get away from me fast enough, so I told her Jesus loves her and to have a good day.  I walked away very hurt and wondering if there was something wrong with me. But as I was typing this out I felt the Lord say to me "You stepped out in faith. That's what matters to me".  Amazing! God is good. 
Well, I have to get back to school! Love ya all!
