I dont know if any of yall have ever done Beth Moore bible studies but she uses this thing called "God Stops." Basically, a God Stop is a moment during the day when you literally stop and say, "Wow, God is so good! Look at this (whatever it is) that He is doing today!" It is like an ah-ha moment where we get a glimpse of our Maker. Well, last night I had an incredible God Stop moment! One of my favorite girls here at TCU ( Steffi ) lives across the hall from me in the Pi Phi house. She isnt sure whether or not she believes in God, but her boyfriend loves Jesus more than most guys I have ever seen. He is truly a warrior in search of the Lord's heart, BUT as much as he has tries, he tends to push Steffi away from the idea of Christ instead of pulling her in. Last night we were all at a worship service on campus. Steffi, being a good girlfriend, comes to support what her bf believes in. It was a great service, but nothing that left me speechless... at least thats what i thought. As soon as i got back to the house, Steffi came into my room with a little peice of paper covered in writing. She said, "I took some notes during Rob's sermon, and I wanted to ask you some questions before i talked to Will ( Will is her bf ) about them because i usually just feel stupid when i ask him questions about the Bible." I was shocked! She came to ME to talk about Christ! I thought that my job as a Christian was to seek out the lost, but this time, the lost was seeking me! In about an hour, we had talked about everything, literally everything! She asked me questions like, "What is the old testament?" and "Who is the 'we' that made man? (referring the to trinity)" and "So why is this Jesus guy so important?" We talked about everything from the covenant God made with Abraham, to Christ's death on the Cross, to having a Godly marriage! Yall, i cannot explain to you how exhilarating it was to talk with this girl about Christ! Steffi is someone who i already loved and knew, but somehow i never thought is was the "right timing" to talk with her about Christ. Now she is confiding and asking me questions about it! God is so good! He is just SO good! When the conversation was ending, she said something that im sure ill never forget. She said "Ya know Shel, Im not sure exactly what i believe. Im not sure if im buying this whole God thing. But i can see something inside you and inside my boyfriend that ive never seen before. I can see this light inside yall, and i can see this intimate relationship that you and my boyfriend have with this God you believe in. Shel, im not sure if i believe in the Lord or if i even really understand what it means to believe in Him, but i know that i want whatever it is that you and my boyfriend have! Whatever relationship and light it is that yall have, i want it!" OMG!!!! God is So Good!!!!!!!! Steffi just told me that she doesnt know if she believes in the Lord, but because of God shinning through me, she DOES know that she wants a relationship with Him! Yall, i cant even describe in words how this made me feel, but i have never felt so privileged to be a daughter of the King! Last night i got to share the gospel with one of my future sisters in Christ, and i know she will be my sister in Christ one day because she has heard her heart cry out to her maker and it desires for the relationship only He can provide!

So if your still reading this, sorry its so long haha but also, here is my challenge to you! Write on here a God Stop that you notice! Tell us about a time when you literally stepped back and thought, "God is SO good!" Love you girls, and I love that i have yall to fill me up, even if it is through a blog haha
