What i learned from a meth addict

ok so first off let me say that since last Thursday, my world has been in a whirl!!!!
so much stuff has happened....
thursday night scott told Shanna and i about a house next to him that was for sale....let me first say that i hadn't considered buying a house at all. nor would i if scott didnt persist that we come look at this house.
friday i was driving with the parents and saw the neighborhood that i THOUGHT the house was in, texted shanna and told her there was no freakin way i was going to live in this house! After lauren's party we drove past the house, and i loved the outside. i didn't want to. but i did. it was a lot to take in...but we drove around the neighborhood to get an idea of night life and that was it.
Saturday after work i went over to talk to sean about the house to get his opinion. while i was there shanna and her parents went over to the house and looked at the outside. There are def things that this house has that i really really liked, but i had some concerns...so saturday night we drove by again....same drill as before, and then went home.
so sunday...this is the day that pretty much shaped my amazing day today.....
so i went to church at Bethel to hear Craig speak....now i had planned on going to journey church then, but craig said he would be at bethel so i wanted to go support him. well while he was preaching i was listening, and he was saying how we are always witnessing....and as i was sitting there i started thinking about it, and was like hmmm well i only really talk to my friends, except for when im at work. and when im at work i can't really be a witness because we're not allowed to talk about religion of any kind. so yea....we went on about our day, looked at the house, had a bad feel about it, ended up looking at the most awful pink colored house and it was alright...im still a tad apprehensive, but we will see what God wants us to do.
So this morning i continued to think about Craigs sermon and i just couldn't think of ways that I could witness. I mean....my friends are christians, and even though my coworkers aren't unless they know me, they wouldn't know that i am a christian. some of them know that i go to church because they ask what i did the night before or whatever...but yea....you get the point.
Anyway, so we had this employee who worked night shift while i did....well about a month ago she called and said that she couldn't work that night....and we never heard from her again. I knew that she had been to court a few days earlier for a drug possession charge, but i also knew that she had been working after that, and figured nothing had happened. And well i work in fast food, it's not like people are known for their longevity. Well today she came to pick up her check from a month ago....she couldn't find her hat, and our policy is you have to pay for it. I end up having to take her to the bank to cash her check.....well as we're waslking out i asked if she wanted to ride with me or follow me....she chose to ride with because she needed to talk to me about some things.
On the way to the bank she didnt say much of anything. other than she's been in rehab. i feel really bad for her, but i am not allowed to give her her job back....but she was such a good worker...anyway...so we get the check cashed and get back in my car, and while we're sitting there she says, "so i know you went to something...it was called rhythm or something...and i know that you worship God, and that you are a christian. i've seen the way that you act, and how you care about people....i want that too...do you think i would ever be able to go to something like that? or that i would be able to have that?"
my mouth probably dropped to the floor of my car. i mean, i've never talked to her about any of this. but she knew. this also comes the day after i had been snotty thinking that craig's sermon was not for me. little did i know even when i am in a place where i can't witness, im still witnessing. I almost cried. she also told me that she think a lot of christians are crazy, so i probably would have sealed that had i started crying. but we talked about God, and we talked about her coming to rhythm....which she said she would come thursday night....she may come, she may not....but i learned so much just from this today!!!
This was probably the biggest slap in my face i have ever had!!!
But it was a good slap. something i needed.
but now, i need sleep. and that's what im going to go do!!! night night all..... :)
