The Response

I gotta admit
I started to wonder.

Should I give her these things?
Should I put aside her {very obvious} immediate needs and form a friendship first and then work my way into an avenue in which I could help her?
What if she is completely embarrassed and I cause her shame. 
Will I offend her?
Should I...
Should I...
Will I.....
Will I....
What if....
What if....
What. 
If. 

In the end
with the prompting of the Holy Spirit
I decided
to go with it.

Knowing that building a friendship with her is going to part of this
but also knowing that she has some immediate needs that I can help meet.

I dropped the bag off at my professor's office before class on Thursday.

We had a test last Thursday and I ended up finishing mine before she did so I didn't get to see her sweet face but I did come home later in the day to this email from my professor:

Sonia,
"H" had the biggest smile on her face when I gave her your gifts. I told her that

somebody loves her and her eyes lit up. Then she asked, "Really?" By the way, 

she doesn't own a computer, but she has easy access to one due to the 

vicinity of her living quarters.
Thank you again for caring and demonstrating that you care."

Her. eyes. lit. up. 

Glory.

To. 

God.  

The professor? Doesn't know Jesus. 

"H"? I don't know if she knows Him. 

But maybe just maybe they both got a little glimpse into His work and His 

message, 

Somebody really does love them both. 

And His name is Jesus. 

And I think this tiny little experience has taught me to stop being so 

wrapped up and concerned that I am going to offend. 

Love. With. Reckless. Abandon. 

I'm all in.  

Thank you everyone for praying for "H", I will keep you posted as I get to 

know her more throughout the rest of the semester. 

In other news, ignore the wacky font(s)....blogger has apparently not had

it's coffee this morning and is protesting and since I am blogging instead

of studying for a quiz I have later this morning I'd better just 

leave it alone. Boo.
