Taxi cab driver meets Jesus!
Hey everyone I hope your all doing well and following Jesus. Well, I wanted to encourage you with something pretty cool that happened today. Me and Matt got a ride from a taxi to "Barnes and Noble" and on our way back we got to talk to our cab driver Dave. I told him about our band and that we were leaving today for Africa to be apart of a christian youth conference there. I told him about our faith and what God was doing in our lives. Anyways when we stopped at the hotel to get out he just started pouring out his heart about his belief in God. He told me that he grew up in a religion that had way to many rules and at a young age it didn't feel right. He told me that he was always drawn to the story of Jesus and accepting his forgiveness of sins. So I explained what it meant to follow Jesus and to give your whole life away to HIm. I asked him if he wanted to pray with me and ask God into his heart. So we prayed together and he got saved!! It was awesome! David is a cool dude, I cant wait to hear about what God is going to do in His life and the lives of his family!
So be encouraged and stay plugged in to Jesus, you never know who you'll meet that needs to feel the Love of God. Love God and love people! What's God doing in your life today? Big or small please share!

God has been doing amazing trasitions in my life lately. From planning a wedding to bring in a new pastor to bring back some old friends who have fallen away, sometimes the words that scare us the most ("change") can be the times when God shines. Your blog entry is a true example of that. Blessings from your neighbor in La Porte.
What God's been doing in my life lately is really awesome!
My sisters, a friend, and I recently started a band and we play in Local coffee shops around our small town in Alaska and when we start to sing songs we've written about God or worship songs.. people stop their conversations and begin to listen. God's just so amazing and he's begining to open up doors for us we've never imagined.
Just wanted to say that you guys are a BIG encouragment to me... So thanks!

I recently started a new job, and it has been amazing how many times God has provided for me to speak about my faith in just a short time. Just last night I was able to talk to a co worker about what it means to really be a Christian, and that it is all about the relationship with God, not how many times you go to church in a week. She shared with me her concerns about her teenage daughter and all the influences she has in her life, and she confessed she wanted to start going to church again. It amazed me when she said that being a Christian was pointless unless you live out your faith. She said she could see a huge difference in me, and this was someone I met for the first time last night. God has put on my heart to pray for her and her daughter, and I hope I can continue to share with her.
It just reminded me that even people you just meet, or see in passing, are noticing how you act. We are representing Christ in everything we do, good or bad. I am so blessed to have a new job that God has provided for me, and I am beginning to see why He wanted me there in the first place! :)
God Bless you guys, and thank you for sharing your lives, and encouraging us in the Lord!

recently my wife and i joined wycliffe bible translators and have begun the process of building our support team and getting training. music is a huge part of our life and one area of training we'll get is working with the people's indigenous music and other art forms to help them incorporate those into worship. we're so excited and humbled to be called by our God for this work at this time. He is certainly good. looking forward to hearing more from you guys. God bless...
This is so awesome!
Thanks for sharing Lee!
Take care and keep on listening to the Lord! :)
Love ya Sweetie!

As for today, God revealed to me his will for my life wholeheartedly. I have a feeling that China is about to see the Lord in action! Smuggling bibles into the nation wasn't exactly what I had in mind, but any plan of God's is a plan a mine. :) You guys are in my prayers!
Stay strong!

i met this guy in my homeschool group, and he seemed to need a friend, so i gave him my email
he was swearing online, and i still talked to him because he needs GOD. but he started saying more than just "regular" swear words, and so i told him i wuz srry, and i spammed him.
i want ot be a light for CHRIST but i dont feel comfortable talking to him anymore.
thanks,
skout
God bless you!
