I met Zoe* when I moved to my new house back in February. She had just started working out a furniture store very near my house. I chatted with her every few days and was so thankful for a new friend so close to my house and, even better, she is cousin! I couldn't believe the Father's grace in bringing me to someone so quickly after I moved to my new house
As you know I wasn't in town for all of March and half of April so I hadn't seen Zoe in a while. When I got back into town I tried to catch up with her but she texted me to let me know she no longer worked at the furniture store because it was too far. At first I was disappointed and wasn't sure if I would get to see her anymore. She texted last week and invited me to her home on Saturday. I went over late Saturday afternoon and spent most of the evening with Zoe, her mother and brother. They were such gracious and hospitable hosts. I had a great time getting to know their family and practicing language too. We talked alot about the difference in our faiths and a little about who JC is. I also sat in the living room as her brother went to the m0sque and Zoe and her mother did their evening pr@yers at home. As I sat there I asked the Father to fill their home with His presence and work to draw them to himself. My heart broke to see Zoe and her mother in their home pr@ying because they are not permitted to go to the m0sque. I want them to know that because of JC they can go near the Father and are not restricted in any way. Zoe's father passed away several years ago so it is just her mother and 3 brothers. I am hoping this family will be a family of peace and the Father will allow more opportunities to get to know them and speak about truth.
