"Welcome to the Kingdom."

My friend Marleah and I got to say this to two ladies last night.  Well..really...it was 12:30am (ish) on December 1st.

I am overwhelmed with joy and praise for God Almighty.  These two young women have been on serious spiritual journeys this whole semester and so many people in Cru have had an impact on them.  God blessed Marleah and I immensely to allow us to be a part of their moments of faith.

One of the coolest things about this whole story is that these two girls are best friends who have been on this journey together.  In one night, they both surrendered their lives to Christ.  They are new sisters in Christ!  My joy and excitement cannot be put into words.  Marleah and I just keep smiling goofily at one another that God would invite us in to this very personal and intimate moment. 
11 As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.” 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”  Romans 10:11-13
 God is so good.  He can and will do immeasurably more than we can hope or imagine. 

Grace and peace,
Shayla M.
