Priscilla is a sweet young christian girl that works at the Dollar General store. I really embarrassed myself the first time I met her. When she first told her name I said to her, your parents must be Elvis fans and named you after his wife. She said no, then informed me that they named her after Priscilla from the bible. I wanted to crawl under my Little Debbie cakes!
Of course I had to go home and look up Priscilla. She was one of the first missionaries and a leader of the early church, along with her husband Aquila, she risked her life for the apostle Paul. Priscilla`s spiritual maturity and understanding of the faith helped build up the early church.
Priscilla and I have become friends and often share stories of our faith and love for the Lord. She is really struggling with her job and hopes to find a job that will be more challenging and rewarding for her.
Today, I was in the backroom and she seemed down, I asked if I could pray with her. She said, right now, of course. I tried to listen closely to the Holy Spirit for just the right words. When I finished Priscilla said, that was exactly what I needed to say! Thank you, no thank God!!!!!!!!!!
2 Timothy 1:8-9 So do not be ashamed to testify about our Lord, or ashamed of me his prisoner. But join with me in suffering for the gospel by the power of God, who has saved us and called us to a holy life-not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace.
