9:36
Plans. Don't expect them to always play out the way you think they will. They won't. I expected to meet one guy today at 1 and finish sharing the gospel with him. Then I was going to go through the 'East Asian language booklet that also shows that Jesus and Christianity is not just a western thing' with this other guy at 2:30. Then at 4 me and TL would say goodbye to our friend. I didn't have anything planned for the night, but thought I'd use that time to write notes and verses for the brother who connected last week[, Moped].
Actually, we met with this guy at 1:30 and kinda ran out of time again, the next meeting flopped and so me and TL just talked about church for an hour and a bit, then me and DP met with our friend (TL was busy) and when DP left I went through the booklet with him (I don't know where his heart is though). Then I ran into JW, DP and the first guy again [from 1:30]. I talked with him for a while again about nothing in particular.
I have kinda learned that when my plans fail, God is at work doing something even better. One meeting that failed we met a guy who is pretty cool, but not really [the guy who doesn't (maybe) know the whole gospel..? We didn't get enough time to talk with him]. Another time we met up with a guy and shared the gospel, he went to church, got a Bible and is going to get more information. Another time, we met a guy, who knew a girl [only met her a few days before apparently, praise the Lord] who we shared the gospel with who the next time our friend went through the 'four spiritual laws' with her and now she is our sister. Instead of one possibly meaningless conversation, we got a new sister a week later.
My plans keep failing. I need to trust more in how God is using my failures to just really do what He is planning. It's probably good that I shared the booklet today in preparation for next time? Building my confidence? I need God so much.
