Prayer

Upon moving to Florida I took a second job at a minature golf place. I was unsure why God placed me at that job. I met a friend immediately and thought maybe that she was the reason. As the days went on I began getting closer and closer with this new friend, and all I cared about was trying to show her who God is. She has no clue and told me she did not want to discuss it. So every day I would pray and pray just waiting to see what the next step was. I wanted so badly to get her into a church. So I just was myself around her and showed her what a Christian was. Well eventually we became very close and she started opening up to me about her life and some things that she is going through. She has a very hard life, and I wish I could just move her in with me away from some bad things that are happening in her home. So anyway I just kept praying and finally two days ago after four months of prayer, she came to me and asked for my help in finding a church. She did not even no what denomentaion, or any other "church" terms meant. Which was strange to me but I said to her ok, well I will take care of it. Well I got scared and started to think, "well maybe she just said she wanted to go but I don't want to push her into anything." As soon as those words came out of my mouth she called, literally the next second and asked if I had found a church for us to go to on Wednesday nights together. And everyday this week she has been calling me, asking if I found the church for us yet. I can't believe what God is doing in her. I just would like every one to pray for me that I will be open to God working through me. I also would like your prayers in helping me find a church. I am scared that if take her to her first church service ever and she does not like it she may regret it and stop going only after one try. I know I just need to have faith, but your prayers would be of help also.
