How Amesome!

So, Christian-Friend was very excited to hear that Not-Quite-There-But-On-Her-Way-Friend had been seeking answers from God, and wanting a relationship with Him. Christian-Friend invited Not-Quite-There-But-On-Her-Way-Friend to visit her church, and she decided to go. She had been there before, months ago, but never returned for fear that she would not be able to make a lifestyle change for God. During the service, the pastor was led by the Spirit to stray from his lesson and speak about something he has never spoken about to the congregation before. It just happened to be about a struggle that Not-Quite-There-But-On-Her-Way-Friend had been facing her entire life. Christian-Friend has continuously prayed for Not-Quite-There-But-On-Her-Way-Friend since that Sunday, and had been asking God for direction in her prayers for her friend. Today, Christian-Friend opened her devotional and read the story of Jonah. A prayer that followed seemed to be very fitting for Not-Quite-There-But-On-Her-Way-Friend, so Christian-Friend sent Not-Quite-There-But-On-Her-Way-Friend an e-mail instructing her to read the story of Jonah and included the prayer that was in her devotional. Not-Quite-There-But-On-Her-Way-Friend replied to Christian-Friend, stating that the story of Jonah and the prayer that went along with it made her weep and has moved her so much that she wants to take the final step of giving herself to Christ completely. Christian-Friend was very excited and wanted to know what specific thing about the story and prayer helped guide her friend to this amazing moment in life. Not-Quite-There-But-On-Her-Way-Friend then said that she had been e-mailing Christian-Friend's pastor, asking questions under an alias a few months ago when she first visited the church. The alias? Jonah.
