The way God works through us is Amazing!!

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!!

Masquerade Christianity

Wow, it has been so long since I have done this! I wish I could write all day every day! God uses me in his time though. The title of this comes from J.T. Cheek, Life group leader, friend, brother in Jesus Christ. One day at life group we went off on a tangent and it all concluded with J.T. saying Masquerade Christianity. It blew me away because that is such an appropriate term for religion in south Georgia. We live in "The Bible Belt". Most of our southern morals are based on biblical teachings. We are getting away from that now but still a lot of our moralistic ideas are biblical. It's not right for this or that ... You get it. Anyway, This is why Christians look weak to the world, this is why Christianity is so accepted into everyone's lives because they see Christianity is just a word and not a commitment/ lifestyle . When you first accept Jesus as the Lord and Savior of your life it's a lifestyle and a commitment to God. I don't know a poll but I bet if ...

My Mansion

I am learning more about myself daily, as I am sure you are as well. Today I began my day as I usually do and proceeded with the typical way I live my life. I did wake up especially early this morning though. 4:30am came early considering I went to bed so late last night. By late I mean I went to be around 11:30 - 12. Going to sleep that late, I would usually sleep in much later than 4:30am, but not this morning, for whatever reason. Well, I got up, took my dog out and came back in to sit in front of my computer, played some video games and watched some movies/videos online. I have always enjoyed a good "reaction video" so I took a stroll down that field this morning. I am always intrigued with how someone from a different walk of life will react to some specific song or something. I started watching a man, probably in his mid 50's reacting to Eminem videos. I was struck with how open minded he was, and realized how emotional Eminem's songs make me. I began to thin...

The Narrow Way

3 "Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. 14 For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few." Matthew 7: 13-14 Read that and read it again. Think about what that means to you. "Enter by the narrow gate" - to me this is simply saying the narrow gate is the right one to enter through without having read the rest of the above scripture. "For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many." - This is something that is so hard for us to comprehend. Not everyone will go to heaven, actually by what this says, many people or most people will go to Hell because they will chose the wide gate and the easy way. By them choosing that way and following that path, they will find destruction in the end. Pain and suffering for eternity. What is eternity, I can't explain because I don...
