Monday Madness... Again

Monday Madness... If I wrote this tomorrow it would be Testimony Tuesday. But today is Monday, so we're going to stick with madness. 

"I have been young and now I am old, but I have never seen the righteous forsaken, or their children begging bread." Psalm 37:25

That's a scripture to shout about. God truly takes care of his children. I could list story after story after story about how He provides for us, but I will share with you the most recent one.. the one I am SUPER pumped about right now. Last week Joseph started his new job (he loves it, by the way). And on Thursday he found out that the department he just left is being shut down, and everyone is being laid off. Whoa. So yeah, first and foremost, let's pray for those people who are losing their jobs. They are moms and dads and husbands and wives, and they need our prayers. But then lets praise the Lord that He provides for us and takes care of us and constantly has a hedge of protection around us! Joseph didn't know when he left the other job that he would have been out of a job had he stayed, but God directed his footsteps and absolutely should be given the credit for what happened here! It was a miracle and a sure sign of God's grace and love towards Joseph (and me hehe ;) )

Okay, another story. One equally as awesome. Last Thursday (I think), my sister Christina had the opportunity to make a speech in front of about... well, we thought it was just sixty students, but it turns out the students from alternative school were in the room, and so were the lunch ladies, and some teachers, and other staff.. and well, people are just coming out of the woodwork who heard what she said. Christina was elected president of the school's branch of FCCLA, Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America. She wasn't going to give a speech, but then she did. To make a long story short, she told the students that where much is given, much is required, and that she had the truth and she was going to share it with them. She proceeded to ask the students if they wanted to go to heaven. They all raise their hands. Then she dropped truth on them like an atomic bomb I tell you! She gave it all to them: Jesus name baptism and being filled with the Holy Ghost. Her teachers were getting antsy, you could have heard a pin drop. However, the results have been phenomenal. Already two girls want to be baptized in Jesus name, and more and more students are coming to her, asking questions, or just letting her know that they heard what she said. And that is the most important part: that they heard the truth.

So this is my shout out to all young people: YOU CAN WIN SOULS!!! Just do it! Yeah, it's scary, but it's so worth it. 

Final story. Yesterday we had two awesome services at church. Sunday morning the presence of God just filled the sanctuary, people were in the altars crying before God and I know they touched the throne with their prayers. Sunday night we had a visiting evangelist. There is a man who has been coming to our church for several weeks and he has been baptized and was seeking the Holy Ghost. After the evangelist preached, he made and altar call. The man went straight to the altar. He said he wanted to be filled with the Holy Ghost. The entire church came up to pray for him, and I PROMISE before everyone could even get up there (I was playing piano and singing so I saw the whole thing) he was speaking in tongues. He had so much faith and he was so ready to receive, it was just that easy. I was pumped. It was absolute madness.

People, these are the last days and revival is here. However, every day people are falling away from the Lord. Don't be one of those people, just go ahead and join us. It will be worth it after all!
