Why Monday is my new favorite day of the week...

I’ve never been one to absolutely loathe Mondays…but they have never been my favorite either.

Until now.

And I wish I could say that I love Mondays because I look forward to teaching 107 loud and lively children after a quiet and restful weekend…but that’s not the main reason (haha, I wish!).

I love Mondays because of Monday night.

The past few weeks, on Monday night, I’ve gone to a gathering for Chinese nationals. Most of the people who come are young Chinese ladies. (In fact, the leader and I are the only native-English speakers….love it). Some of these ladies are my sisters, some are not. But all of them are striving to learn English. We get together and sing songs to Him and study the B*ble (in English) and another person translates. It has been such a precious time.

The other day, I was explaining this gathering to a friend of mine and expressed my desire to get to know the ladies in this gathering. I asked her to ask Him to grant me more opportunities to get to know them…

And I just love how He answers the simplest prayers and fulfills the desires He has placed within my heart.

This past Sunday, the leader of the study approached me about teaching a short English lesson to these ladies before the gathering begins. (Yes, please!)

This past Monday was my first lesson. Although it was a little rough, it was so fun. I love their desire and dedication to learn English. (If only I could be so dedicated to learn Chinese! :)  I am looking forward to teaching more of these lessons in the future and getting to know these girls more.

If you think about it, ask Him to be working within and preparing the hearts of these ladies…that they would come to know Him in a more intimate way through this time on Monday nights. Thank you!
