Princess Warrior, Part 3

Hello again!

These are now firing in rapid succession. Read and comment at your own pace!

Question 1: On page 111, after advertising for the opening of a home run private and public school, Princess finds herself opening her doors to an overwhelming flood of students - at number she never anticipated.

Have you ever prayed for God's leading or responded to His call only to find that His call was bigger than you ever anticipated? How did He provide to meet the need, both in your personal equipping and in the stretching of resources?

Question 2: In chapters 13 and 14 we see Princess' heart continue to break for people who have no access to the education about HIV/AIDS that could save their lives and she becomes an activist?

What issue has God pressed into your heart? What causes your heart to break and how do you sense God leading you down a path to minister to people dealing with it?

Question 3: In chapter 14, Princess has a divine appointment with Dr. Phiri who has resources and a platform from which he can educate people about AIDS, but who is looking for someone special to be a spokesman. This appointment comes at one of Princess' lowest, most desperate moments. She is totally blown away.

When have you been totally frustrated and defeated only to have God meet you in that moment and do something you could never have dreamt up on your own?

Question 4: In chapter 15 we see Princess really deal with the issue of loving God more than all else as she struggles to serve God in the light of her husband's opposition. The words of Jesus stand out to me here: "If anyone comes to me and does not hate his mother and father and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, even his own life, he cannot be my disciple."

Have you ever faced a time when you were sure you were answering God's call but faced opposition from a parent, a spouse, or someone else close to you?
