O Happy Day

A Day To Remember

April 16, 2009 is the day that Busiswe prayed and asked Jesus Christ to come into her heart and be her Savior and Lord. This is something she wanted to do for a long time and today she was overjoyed because she had made this life-changing decision. I was privileged to be a part of it. Earlier this week, I went to the grocery store where Bucie worked part time. Whenever I visited she always greeted me with a big hug but this time I noticed the grief that lined her face. She was hoping I would come by since I rarely do. This was a appointment God knew I had to keep. The next afternoon we visited as planned and Bucie shared how she longed to be loved. All her life, she felt unwanted and unloved. I remembered her in class. She seemed so full of life and always had a huge smile and such energy. I now learned all of this masked a deep need to be cared for by someone special. As we sat together in the chapel, I shared from the Bible how much God loved her and wanted her to trust Him. She was ready to do this and I will never forget how she prayed. Both of us were overjoyed in this wonderful moment. I thought this is why God sent me here, to show women, most of whom live in terrible circumstances, that they are precious to God. Afterward I went to her home and there we prayed again. I ask you to pray for Bucie that she will always follow Jesus.
