At the crossroad

We prayed for our treasure today and GT received the location as Starbucks. On our way there, we met 2 other PE mates who were also going Starbucks. GT felt this is a confirmation from God. There were many students studying in Starbucks. We looked around for a table and for our treasure at the same time. Both of us agreed it would be a young girl sitting alone at a high table. We bought food and drinks and sat on the same table as her. It was difficult initially as the girl had earphones on and typing on her laptop. GT and I got to know each other while waiting for a good opportunity. Just as our conversation reached the topic of Anxiety in young people, the girl got ready to leave. I started speaking to her and we got to know she is a Year 1 uni student doing Data analysis and computing. GT asked the girl if she is experiencing any anxiety in her school work. The girl was very open and shared on her anxiety, why and how she is considering to change her course specialisation and her concerns on the job market. The girl shared that she is a free thinker and her family are also non-believers. Her mum had brought her to a temple previously. She has Christian friends who invited her to church events previously and she attended a few but she doesn’t know Jesus personally yet. GT asked for permission to pray for her and she agreed. We encouraged her to visit the church near her house, which is where many of her friends are attending too. I shared with her my personal experience with students from that church and how they encourage young people to pursue higher education and strive to glorify God in their studies. I could sense she was touched and encouraged by GT’s prayer and our sharings.
