So, I thought that I was going to be "Bold For Jesus" and go downtown with my friend Jon Talley, however the Lord had different plans. Oh, I still went down town and talked to people about Jesus, only I was being "Bold With Jesus". From the moment I sat down with a man who the Lord had already been working on his heart. Please pray for divine appointments and to God for people before we talk to people about our God. And remember we are to have conversations with people about Jesus not presentations.
He was a teacher from Brazil and just got his working visa because his friends invited to America. We talked about how nice the day is and then about our jobs for a little bit. Since he is a teacher looking for a job I asked him what he thought about the school shootings and so we talked about that for a bit. I then asked him what he thought happened to those people, did they just walk off the face of the earth are did they go somewhere.
We talked about what is on the other side of this life and how do we get to a place better than this. We then talked about the Ten Commandments and how no one can keep them, and about how we cannot erase our past. But I was able to tell Him about Jesus, and what he did for us, and how we can be with him after this life. By the end of the conversation he asked me if I needed to get back to work, and I told him that I would. Be willing to go the extra mile it means so much to people for them to see that you care.
I told him that I was there to talk to him about my faith and what I believe in because God told me go and talk to him. He was very surprised and told me that I wasted my lunch break on him, and I so disagreed. You will want to make sure in heaven that there are some strangers (although they will be strangers no more) that will thank you for taking the time to share with them what Jesus did for them. We serve an Amazing God! Don't be afraid to step out in faith.

Our New House
Escrow closed today, the day after my 25th birthday! Tim and I are now proud owners of a brand new solar powered home! Thanks Chris Corbitt for directing us this way. And praise and Thanksgiving to God for leading Chris to think of us and letting everything work out! We are looking forward to home improvement projects to make the new place our own. Stay tuned for updates!

So, I thought that I was going to be "Bold For Jesus" and go downtown with my friend Jon Talley, however the Lord had different plans. Oh, I still went down town and talked to people about Jesus, only I was being "Bold With Jesus". From the moment I sat down with a man who the Lord had already been working on his heart. Please pray for divine appointments and to God for people before we talk to people about our God. And remember we are to have conversations with people about Jesus not presentations.
He was a teacher from Brazil and just got his working visa because his friends invited to America. We talked about how nice the day is and then about our jobs for a little bit. Since he is a teacher looking for a job I asked him what he thought about the school shootings and so we talked about that for a bit. I then asked him what he thought happened to those people, did they just walk off the face of the earth are did they go somewhere.
From using that we begin to talk about good and evil, heaven and hell, life and death, and the Bible and about Jesus. He had said that he grew up somewhat in the church but His mom is still very religious as is his brother. He said that he didn't like them forcing their beliefs on him and that it should be a choice and not pushed on people. I agree totally, however we continued to talk for over an hour on my lunch break. Please remember if your going to shove Jesus down someones throat please don't share him at all.
We talked about what is on the other side of this life and how do we get to a place better than this. We then talked about the Ten Commandments and how no one can keep them, and about how we cannot erase our past. But I was able to tell Him about Jesus, and what he did for us, and how we can be with him after this life. By the end of the conversation he asked me if I needed to get back to work, and I told him that I would. Be willing to go the extra mile it means so much to people for them to see that you care.
I told him that I was there to talk to him about my faith and what I believe in because God told me go and talk to him. He was very surprised and told me that I wasted my lunch break on him, and I so disagreed. I handed him a tract with more information and we talked about churches and he asked me where I go in town, so I also gave him a card with our church information as well. I could tell he had been thinking of checking out a local church but just didn't know of any good ones.
As I was leaving he said that if he was to share this with his mom that she would be too happy. You see he told me that his mom has been praying for him to go to church and this would be an answer to her prayers if he decided to go to church. I could see that he was now thinking about what we had talked and about what Jesus did for him. Please remember just because we go to church does not make us saved. Only the blood of Jesus can wash us white as snow.
Remember folks that every friend you have today began as a stranger. If you are married, there was a time that your spouse was a total stranger. Just think: you actually married a total stranger. You will want to make sure in heaven that there are some strangers (although they will be strangers no more) that will thank you for taking the time to share with them what Jesus did for them. We serve an Amazing God! Don't be afraid to step out in faith.
Seek and save that which is lost and press on in Love,
