Amazed!!!

"Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles." ~Acts 2:43

"...and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him." ~ Acts 3:10

Today, I want to share my amazement:

Last night, after watching Facing the Giants and spending the whole day with God, I was broken. It was 11p.m. and I just sat there in my truck in the parking lot of my church, pouring my heart out to my God. I prayed for my church, my city, my struggles, my friends and the ones I love, and my family. I wept over all the pain that I had felt in my friends and I told God about how much they were hurting and that I trusted Him to make a difference in their lives. And then God began laying people on my heart and ways that I could help:

Heidi - For those of who don't know this girl, she is amazing! Her calm spirit and gentle words and funny little things that she does fill my heart with joy and laughter! Every time I think of this beautiful girl, I have to raise my hands to heaven and praise God for creating such beauty! I know that I love this girl, but I have been hesistant to tell her. You see, our relationship is a special one! She is going out with a godly young man named Aaron and has asked that I continue to treat her the same as before she went out with him. When I first got that request, I thought it would be hard, but it hasn't been. Infact, it has been a blessing! I have become even closer to her as a friend and I have even been blessed with befriending her boyfriend. I have found that I don't have to say the words, "I love you", to show that I do love her. I have kept to God's Holy Word which says, "Greater love has no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." ~ John 15:13

But last night, I felt led to tell her a few things. And the amazement only grew as I picked up the phone to call:

She is an hour ahead of me in S.C. so it was already midnight there. I called once... nothing, twice...nothing, and then I did something different; I prayed. And then God reminded me of the use of the number three in the bible...so, I called once more... ... ...and on the third ring of the third call, Heidi answered her phone! (Wow! Amazement levels were through the roof!) Of course, it was still midnight and Heidi sounded like she has just been woke up by three phone calls. So I got to straight to the point. I told her that I loved her and that I wasn't afraid to say so. I told her about having faith in her relationship with Aaron. I read to her the words of Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." God spoke through me and told her not to be afraid, but rather, take strength, courage and hope. Then, Heidi and I prayed for each other and our friends and I said goodnight.


Did you think the amazement would end there?! Not a chance!!

I then went to Wal-Mart with the sole purpose of telling people about Jesus! (I do not wish any praise for this, because it is God who gives me the courage to do such things; praise Him!) I got out of my truck and began asking people where they would go when they died: Heaven or Hell? One man came to Jesus Christ last night and another, is SO close! I told him the prayer of salvation and gave him the promise that when he decides to pray it, God will change his life. I was also blessed with being able to strengthen a number of Christians I met in that store! Amazing! Amazing!! AMAZING!!!

MY GOD IS AMAZING!!!!!!!
