I witnessed one of the most powerful testimonies I have ever heard, and probably ever will. I had no idea what kind of persecution happens in our world, in our country, in our very neighborhoods. It brought tears to my eyes. This dear sister in Christ has inspired me further to pursue an uncommon life. I want to live as she does--on the verge of packing bags to go wherever my Father leads me.
Afterwards, I went up to her and before I said anything, she told me that she could see that God was going to do things with me. She could see a beautiful quiet spirit even though she didn't know me. (I was blown away. This is the second time a stranger has said something like that about my future.)
I wanted to remind her how God has a name for her that will never change and that He is a Father who will never deny His baby girl. We had a good chat in the short time we had, and she welcomed me to email her with more thoughts and questions.
I feel like I love her as though she were my sister, or at least a cousin. I've only listened to her talk for 3 hours, and I hardly know her story, but I am still so filled with love.
Oh Lord. Draw me near to you with a passion and fire that cannot be quenched by our bland mediocrity of culture. Empower me. Make my life radical. May the uncommon be daily life for me.
