Background Information: First Saturday here at Youth With A Mission. Orientation has already taken place, yet no starting of classes or discussion about outreach.
It's a cool breezy night here in Orlando and everyone is pumped to see the city and get some stuff that we forgot to pack.... So we all pile into this school bus that drives about 15 minutes to an Outlet center. About 50 of us unloaded and splited up to grap the things we needed. Amber and I headed to a Super Target [yes I said super target!] to grap somethings of no importance... Anyways... We got tired of shopping... [yes, Amber got tired of shopping-Miricle in it's self!].... so we wanted to get some food, yet we were being unusually picky... Nothing seemed great to us... We walked and walked and walked and finally Amber said "Let's go to subway" So we did. I didn't eat because I wanted pasta but I went along with them. It was Amber, Adam (another DTS student) and I. We headed in and when we got to the registar a nice man give Amber and I both free drinks and chips. We were greatly appriciated of the generosity of this nice person! How could he know we are broke missionarys? haha. Anyways, we grabbed a seat and they began to eat... The nice guy leaned over the counter when we were almost done and asked where we were from because we must not be from Florida with the way we talk... So I explained what YWAM was all about and encouraged him to check it out online! At this time the holy spirit was just taking over the conversation and what was yet to come. At this time, Amber and I felt led to write this nice man a note and tell him to have a great night and thanks for the food. So thats what we did! Right as we were finishing it up we see him walking out because his shift ended. We handed him the note and out the door he went. We thought we would never see him again but God definatly had other plans... With the finishing up with the food the converstion became intense. Adam was asking Amber and I if God called one of us to India and the other to Jordan, would we go? Our immediate answer was YES. That we were completely consumed with what God has for both of us, we would listen. Then we explained to him that we thought he was calling us both to Jordan because of some incounters that we have already had with it. But, that we really wanted God to confirm it very clearly. So, we are walking out of Subway talking about this very subject now and we hear this car horn... we kept walking... but we kept hearing it... and then saw hands waving us over. So we thought since we had a guy with us, we would be safe. When we got over there we saw that it was the guy from Subway and a girl was with him. We instantly connected with them both and the conversation just kept going. We talked about everything and anything. Then the girl in the car was like "I was just telling him that my life sucks and that I wanted happiness and you guys just brought that to me". That in it's self just filled Amber and myself up. It was just awesome. Then the girl was like, "omg... I have to add you on facebook!" So we told her our names and then "We were like what is your name?" She was like "My name is Jordan"... WE FLIPPED OUT! We did the Amber and Joanne scream that most of ya'll know so well... haha. She asked what was going on and so we told her about how we needed God to confirm where to go on outreach and he totally provided! She was so excited just to know that she was a blessing to us.. After that we took some pictures and even prayed over Jordan and Myles. It was an incrediable experience and we still contact them today. God was so good and he has already provide for us in so many different ways. So don't doubt if you think God can't personally hand deliever something!
