Faithful Fridays

Happy Faithful Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm soooo sorry I didn't do it last week. I have two things to tell and one prayer request. It may be a long post soooo.....here we go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First of all.....a heavenly dream. One night, I dreamed I was upstairs, watching commercials on an old brown tv that had antennas sticking out of it. Well, all of a sudden, a commercial came on that had Jesus with his arms outstretched. Jesus came out of the tv, and hugged me. It made me feel warm all over. I felt so blessed and secure and safe and cozy when I woke that morning.

Another thing....you know how we Christians are always talking about telling people about God, but more than half the time we don't do it? Well, I've thought about it alot, and kids could have a BIG impact if they would witness about God....if they had the courage. I have this one cousin named Josh. I know he's not a Christian, because he does really bad stuff. Well, I've always thought, man, his own family must not even tell him about God, or else he wouldn't be doing that stuff. I've always wanted to be the one to tell him about God. Every single family reunion(which we are having tomorrow, btw), I always find myself waiting, waiting, WAITING, until I get the courage to even look him in the eyes, but it never comes. That's how much he scares me. He wears chains, dresses in black, smokes, and just acts scary! Well, I want to share with the kids on blogger, and the blogger's kids how I would tell someone about God.

I would talk to them, and ask them how they're doing. I would just start talking to them about stuff. Then, tell them about a time when I was going through something tough, and I prayed about it, and it got better!!!!!!!! I would tell them I'm a Christian, and that I'm happy everyday because I have God on my side. I would keep a bright smile, and tell them that they can become a Christian, too. God will forgive them if they feel guilty, and he will bless and protect, and love them always. In fact, he already loves them more than anyone who could ever love them. I would tell them he was tortured to death on a cross, so that we could be forgiven of our sins. But three days after he was killed, he rose up from the grave!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My mom, dad, and I are reading a book every night called the Case for Christ. It is REALLY good. All the doubts anyone could have about Jesus would be completely banished from their mind. This guy didn't believe in Jesus when he set out to find out if his story was true, but then, he searched all the evidence, and....well, I won't spoil it for you, but, I totally reccomend it!!!!

I have a prayer request, too. You know Uncle Richard, our friend from the Ozarks? Well, he and his wife just got a doctor's report that it's a possibility that he may have cancer. Please pray that this isn't true. Thanks.
