for everyone

Don't give up.

I remember all those years when I was allowed to sit at the table of five people of the inner circle of the world number one player.  I gave materials and spoke spiritually to all at that table.  It was received politely and sometimes I would see that material on the table after we all had left.

I did not grow discouraged as I always realized that just being allowed to sit at that table was from the very hand of God.  One of five people.

Last year, sitting all alone on the final day at the French Open was that number one.  I sat down and spoke about faith, but this time it was different.  "Yes, I want that"  I asked three times, explaining what it meant.  Yes, Yes, Yes.  I then sourced the book "The Purpose Driven Life" in French and carried it to Wimbledon.  As the player was getting in the car at Wimbledon, I gave the book and hugging me asked if I wanted money for it.  I said, 'no'.

You see; I do not do this to gain access to famous people as some would understand the word 'famous' or 'wealthy'.  I can not control any results, I can only pray and patiently wait upon the Lord.  Even now, my eyes tear up thinking of the love God has for this person.
