I was not diagnosed (parents didn't do that in the 70's)but I have aspergers which is a mild form of autism. So reaching out to people will never be natural for me, however, when I was saved I was truly born again and have been on the road to recovery ever since. <br />Through the Holy spirit and reading the word, prayer and persistence, I go....<br /><br />Because this IS the most important thing I can do, the most needful thing, the reason I live.<br />To share what I have been given, the Great Good news with others. <br /><br />I have a fishing hole I go to every week, the bowling alley. Now bowlers are usually nice folks in general, and my husband and I bowl while we are there, (so the owners don't mind me bothering the other bowlers)I do get rejections of the the tracts occasionally, I get "looks", I sometimes will bowl and be packing up and my husband will say "aren't you going to make the rounds and hand out some tracts?" <br />Now that ^^ and here vv is the most encouraging part: <br />First, my encouraging husband does not witness with me, does not hand out tracts and is not a believer. <br />I'm not even worried about that, I am trusting, the Lord is good.<br /> I try and always look for a chance to witness, and speak right up when I can. I always carry tracts to give and leave everywhere I go. I often go out, to the mall, shopping, local events, just to hand out tracts.<br />No one at church desires to go with me, (I ask weekly) no one in my family, except my husband (sorta) and so I just keep going. <br />I go alone.<br />Not to worry, trusting God is good.<br />Laura Meekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12847892332121187752noreply@blogger.com
