Often we are too scared to meet people who are different than us, but they are often the very ones who can unveil to us a new side of God. Nothing to fear from different! Even though I'm late to this post, I'm so glad I'm getting to read it today. Thanks for sharing, Mary.

Especially to Billie! That was awesome the Lord put you there for her. For someone who wouldn't judge Billie. He knew the right woman to be there and represent His love. I think your magnetic personality and Christian ways were what were offered by Him to Billie in that seminar and I pray she realized that offer of friendship. You always bless me...And I love your humor. Always. Makes me leave with a big smile on my face. Shine on sister!

Maybe she doesn't respond to your emails because she expresses herself better in person. Not everyone is comfy with computers.<br /><br />But imagine her being able to just come out and tell you her story? God wanted you to go alone to that conference to hear it. I am so in awe of you, and of Our Lord.

God for whatever reason wanted you and Billie to have met and spent the time together that you did.
