Michelle Sochia with foreword by Rev. Flip Benham 8/11/2008
I spoke with Monique a few days ago. She said to tell everyone, "Life's been going great!" She has been attending Brother Potter's church and reads her Word every day. She said she has not gone back to her old (pre-salvation) lifestyle and has even had a chance to share her faith with some coworkers. In September, Brother Potter will be starting a Bible Study at her house on Saturdays and she has already started inviting neighbors! She has plans to serve snacks and drinks and wants to invite those that just "hang-out" in the neighborhood to come in for prayer. God is So Great! Monique said God has also been placing Christians in her life at different times to encourage her and share the Word with her!
Monique is working for an OB/GYN and part of her job will be taking care of women coming in for PRENATAL visits! (She is very excited about this and wanted everyone from OSA to know this!) She just completed a week of training with their new equipment. Currently, Monique was hired as PRN (which means "as needed"), but for the next 6 weeks, she is scheduled to
work EVERY day! She is praying that they will change her position to full-time and I told her we'd be praying too. She said once the job turns into full-time and she has a steady income, she plans to start looking for a house.
Her children are enrolled in a mentoring program where each child will have his or her own mentor. The lady that came out to talk to Monique about this program was a Christian (go God!) was able to encourage Monique in the Lord. Monique was so blessed by this!
Please continue to keep Monique, James, and her children in your prayers.
Blessings,
Michelle Sochia
