Higher Obedience

As some of you know, I’m starting a practicum/internship/stage in November. It’s my third one – I think I’ll be a little more prepared this time. Anyways, I’ve been sending emails back and forth to my cooperating teacher (the teacher I’ll be doing my practicum with) and she noticed my “signature” at the end of all my emails. I had almost forgotten about it… but it’s part of a poem that reads:

What did the Lamb that he should die?
What did the Lamb that he should need,
When the wolf sins, himself to bleed?
Richard Crashaw
Sacred Poems

She noticed it and asked me why I chose this particular poem as a signature. So it opened a conversation about Jesus dying in my stead. I don’t know where it’ll go, but please pray for her, that it will be a good opportunity for me to share Jesus Christ, that she’ll be receptive. I have no clue about her beliefs so… we’ll see! I praise God for this little door, I hadn’t thought about it!
