New Year

Today is my birthday. If I had to describe this last year in one word it would be change. God has changed me. He has shown me what real faith is. He has revealed to me what He wants me to live like. This year has also been a year fo doubt. I have had a hard time knowing that God is real, and that Jesus really did die on the Cross for me, and was raised three days later. This past month has been a breakthrough month; I may have Faith as small as a mustard seed, but with even though my Faith is small I can say to that mountain,

" Move," and it will move-Matthew 17:20. 7 This year I have been able to witness my best friend coming to Christ. I met her at my Dad's work. I invited her to a youth movie night at my Church. I knew she wasn't coming, but I handed her the little piece of paper with a smile. She never showed up. Eventually she came one Wednesday night. She agreed to come, but only on Wednesday nights. On Easter morning, she came. It was the first Sunday she ever had come. We had a guest speaker that morning. She gave her life to Christ. I still didn't get it though. I don't think I realized what just happened. Three days later she got baptized. I cried. Cried the whole night, because I realized for the first time in a year, I had done what God had aksed me to do.

That was the highlight of my year. Hands down. I emailed my testimony to one of my other friends and she gave her life to Christ. I have had a wonderful year. This year I am going to live for God, and God alone. And God is going to bless me like crazy.
