wow
i seriously could not ask for a better way to leave home than how i am doing so. yesterday i went to a leadership retreat for my church and oh my goodness it was amazing. i would write all about it, but i have limited time to finish packing and what not. but basically our pastor was calling us to audacious faith. i realized that every excuse i have for holding back is super lame and in all reality i have nothing to lose and everything to gain. we had an offering and on the offering envelope we were to write the name of the person who the offering is for. who you are going to pursue for the cause of Christ. after the offering was taken, we prayed that by this time next year that person will have come to faith. tonight is my last night and my mom and brother had dinner together and i asked my brother to come to church with us tomorrow. generally he gives a shy maybe and it never happens. this wasn’t good enough for me tonight, though. i said well i’ll see you at church tomorrow, starts at 930! he left and about an hour later my mom gets a call from him and he tells her that his friend is coming to church tomorrow with us, as well. my brother said that this morning he just felt the urge to start reading this daily devotional book he has and decided he needed to get back into church. he said that he wanted to come but he wouldn’t have come unless he was told that he was going. i was the answer to that. i wouldn’t take no for an answer this time. i was finally obedient and let God use me. and it feels amazing. my brother’s friend just recently got out of jail and is trying to get his life back on track and he called my brother tonight to see what he was up to. my brother told him he had just got done hanging with the fam and he was going to pick him up tomorrow for church. look at this chain reaction. how awesome is this?! all from one choice to be obedient to that little voice whispering to me. i knew God was going to work, but good grief i had no idea it was going to be so fast. i am so overwhelmed with joy and just so thankful to see the work of God so crystal clear. i prayed a prayer for my brother and the next morning my prayer was answered. the power of God is so phenomenal. he honestly works miracles. this is such an encouragement and i can feel God working in me and calling me to an audacious faith that holds nothing back. i am so excited to see what he has in store for me on my upcoming journeys!
