So…today at Starbucks
I got witnessed to.
This has only happened to me once before… What was so funny about this time was
1.) how it happened, and
2.) why out of all the people in Starbucks, this woman chose me to share her “one tract” with.
I had a good prayer time this morning… I read my Bible… I had just got out of staff prayer… was the anointing not evident?
Did I look the most, out of all the people in there, that I needed Jesus? Don’t get me wrong, I have had my fair share of witnessing to people that turned out to already be saved… I just thought it was kind of funny…
Which brings me to how it happened…
I was at Starbucks with Meg and Kirst. We walked in, got a table and then I got in line to get us all drinks. I had been in line for a few minutes when a woman came up to me with a $5 bill in her hand. She said to me, “I think you dropped this…” I knew that I hadn’t, so I said “oh thank you, but I don’t think I dropped it.” She then quickly said, “well i think you guys were the last ones to walk through the door, so it must be yours…” then put it in my hand. And took off. Literally.
I was pretty shocked for two reasons…
1.) It had been 5 or 6 min. since we had walked in. It’s Starbucks. Come on… I’m pretty sure 8 people walk in per minute.
2.) Most people (unfortunately) would have just taken the $5 bill… I was pleasantly surprised at this woman’s honesty…
So I walked back to the table to ask the girls if they had dropped it…
only to discover it was not even real.
Huh??
I then realized as I opened it up that it was a gospel tract.
Oh boy….
What makes me so uneasy about this approach to witnessing is that it was completely deceptive!!! This woman’s whole premise was that she was full of integrity and honesty.
yet the $5 bill was not real, and she knew I did not drop it.
Lucky for this woman I am already saved and love Jesus..
I can only hope that all of us find a more better approach to sharing the TRUTH with those that desperately need it…
without giving em fake money…

OH MY WORD!
That’s complete craziness and sadness all in one…
hahaha
Jesus bless her
what was great about yesterday too, is that we were also constantly overshadowed by “happy guy” asking about our oatmeal.
Oh, I know!!
Bless his heart… He really wanted to make sure we liked it! And we did!!
Oh, good times…..
Oh Kelly, you have no idea how often we get witnessed to there! I get tracts with all SORTS of scary things on them, and all in incredibly awkward ways…. Oh Christians! We’re a lot of fun, aren’t we?
Oh i know… i bet it happens all the time! Just thought it was a funny story…..
Seriously? Seriously!? Seriously. Can’t handle that story. PTL you were already saved darling. {But maybe you should search your heart….she obviously pinpointed you!} Just kidding. Either way, it’s sort of annoyingly funny {because you are a Christian}!
