People are getting saved all over the place!

This week has been very encouraging for me spiritually. I have found that many times in my life I get really caught up and going going going and I forget to stop and love on the Lord. However, there are also times (like this week) when I make a conscious effort to spend more time with the Lord and the results are always so immediate and evident! I don't know why I ever stop!

There are a couple of really awesome things that have been going on this week. First of all, in my life the Lord has really answered a big prayer. I have been very anxious about a certain situation in my life and I found out Sunday that God has taken care of it...WHOA. Hold the bus, I just remembered something. The Friday before last a preacher at church came and told me that the Lord had revealed to him that I had been fighting a certain situation in my life and that I had won over and over, but the devil was continuing to fight me on it (this is true) he also said that he felt in his spirit "9 days." Honestly, at the time, I just let it go. People say all kinds of crazy stuff in church sometimes, and sometimes I really have to let the Lord work on my unbelief. Anyways, all of that to say, I realized that God answered this big prayer for me on Sunday, which was the ninth day. So cool. I know that you want to know the prayer and how God answered it, but I just can't share that with you...yet :)

The second really awesome thing that happened was at the church in Bowling Green. There is a beautiful young woman who comes to church at FAC and she has two kids, a daughter (to whom I give piano lessons) and a son, Ty. They are SO cute. Anyways, her husband does not come to church with her and every Wednesday night Bianca (her daughter) and Ty request prayer that their daddy will come to church (precious!). I wish the awesome story was that he came... but it's not. Actually, it's better. On Tuesday night/early Wednesday morning there were some bad storms here in Bowling Green and this lady from church got up out of bed so that she could watch the weather and protect her children, like any good mother would. So she and her husband were sitting there in the living room and she began to pray. Well, out of nowhere her husband said, "What are you doing???" and she replied, "What do you mean?" EVIDENTLY, she had been praying and all of the sudden started "speaking in another language." WHAT??? So awesome! This girl was filled with the Holy Ghost, speaking in tongues right there in her own home, in front of her husband, who is not a believer! What a testimony!

She gave this testimony Wednesday night at church and we sang the Kim Walker song, "Oh Happy Day," which is my favorite song ever. It makes me so happy. I'm so stinking excited. I just want to praise Jesus all the time... I think I will :)
