ok so I have a few stories here to tell but they are all great!!!
First story is about a girl I met over 2 years ago I think on myspace, she and I both we and are Christians. We shared stories about God and enjoyed hanging out together. Well as we started hanging out I found out she has 2 atheist brothers. One of her brothers (AJ) and I talked a pretty good but and I would talk to him about God. I didnt push God on to him but I would tell him different things. I found he wasn't really atheist because he believed in a higher power just not God. Well later this girl got married. She married a guy I thought was a druggie but I didn't want to say anything to her to lose her as a friend, she and I haven't talked in a long long time but last night we did. She said that her husband had been into drugs really bad and I think she did, she didn't really say but she did say she had been to jail like 3 times I think. But she said the third time she went to jail she didn't think she would be getting out soon. She said after she got out after a week, when she got him AJ told her had been praying for her and when she came home that God does answer prayers!! Since then he has been going to church and prayer often. He is only 15 or 16 but from what he called atheist to Christian because his sister went to jail... AWESOME!!!
Second, I was on the internet the other day and I found a site a lot like myspace. One thing different is there is a spot where people can talk about a blog or give advice about a blog. I started commenting on one where the girl asked if being gay was wrong. I was prepared and I gave her the reasons it was wrong mainly because God said it is wrong and I gave her Bible verses to prove my point. Well other people wanted to bash God but one person caught my eye. She said she used to be a Christian but she lost her faith a while back. I asked her if she had msn messenger because I wanted to find out what made her lose her faith. She said yes and we started talking. She lost her faith because she had like family members die in like a month and the hurt caused her to turn against God. I said well maybe they are in heaven right now, they aren't suffering so why should you be suffering form them leaving this world. Anyway, push lead to shove and she said she didn't think God would give her another chance. I said God is a second and 10th, and 50th, and 1,000th chance God. He never gives up on us. She said well what should I do, I said pray to him, ask him to forgive you of your sins and ask him to come back into your heart and guide you to become the woman of God he wants you to be. After a few minutes of not talking to me she came back and said now Im crying, I asked why are you crying, she said because I said that prayer and already feel a lot better about myself. She and I continued to talk about God and I offered to help her with anything she needs help with, she said she was going to take me up on that but in the mean time try to find her a church. I havent talked to her in a few days but Im waiting for her to get on!!
I told these stories to show what God can do in peoples lives, he saved 2 people that easily and this has encouraged me to never give up on a non-believer. I want to ask everyone to please keep these 2 people in your prayers as often as possible, God has them back now we need to pray he keeps them!!!
Thank you all for reading!!
