Precious

Meet Precious.  I met her 2 years ago when her mom was taking English classes at the same building Living Hope rents from.  Precious lives up to her name, and she is so much fun to be around--what a crazy, sarcastic sense of humor she has!  She has been coming consistently to everything at Living Hope, and God has been gracious to give me many opportunities to spend time with her and speak truth into her life.  During June Emily and I got to spend a lot of time with her.   We would often hang out in Jackson park, visit her home, or have her over to our house.  We even got to have a sleepover at my (and Emily's) house, and we had a blast!  My favorite part was dancing in praise to God as we listened to her Nigerian worship music.  :)


Below are some pictures from the last time I saw Precious--in the beginning of July before she headed out on a 7-week trip to her mom's home country of Nigeria.  JaNae joined us on this special occasion.  We gave her some photos from Living Hope and hung out at a park.  Her warm-hearted mother even served us Nigerian food!

Precious just got back from Nigeria today, and she already called me and asked, "When can we have another sleepover?"  I'm excited to continue this relationship and allow the Lord to speak truth and show His love through me.  Pray that Precious and her mother will grow in their personal relationships with Christ.
