Wow

So yesterday, before my young adult class; one of my students asked me a question. Point blank..."Leah, do you believe in Jesus?" In that moment I was frozen, shocked...did he really just ask me that?? I just couldn't believe that this Buddhist, teenage kid had just asked me that very raw question. I had never been in such a situation. As soon as I got my mind around it, I answered him and told him, "yes I do, I'm Christian." I asked him how did he know about Jesus? And he told me that his aunt was a Christian and he continued to ask me what my religion was. Unfortunately the conversation couldn't go on, because right in that moment we're interrupted and class had to start. 

But 'wow', was all I could think. I pray that God will give another opportunity to share my beliefs with my students in a more full manner. But I'm thankful for this uplifting chance to answer my student's simple question; it was very much a blessing.
