Jenn & Nadia #2

So, this morning on my way in to work I saw this beautiful sunrise (yes, i was on the road @ 6 am :) and it reminded me of the little "happys" that God gives us for short periods of time. This picture is of me and my friend Nadia. She is from Russia and is the facilitator for a kind of foreign exchange program for the summers. She is a "happy" that the Lord brought to me this summer.
Nadia shared with me her thoughts on Christ and many questions about His death and resurrection. I appreciate the time I had to get to know her because those conversations have really made me humbled.
In the world of Washington DC life is fast paced and there is always something you're going to or coming from. But, it's good to take time and think about what we've been given here in this city and in this life.
Let me challenge you, just as I'm challenging myself to think about what you've been given. Nadia does not know what it's like to have a relationship with the Lord, I do. With that comes an overwhelming sense of joy and a motivation to encourage you and those whom the Lord has brought in to my life.
*p.s. don't you love the silly face Nadia is making :)
