An Awesome Weekend!

Saturday I went shopping with my mom after we participated in the American Heart Association Fundraiser. I walked/jogged a 5K with my mom and her co-workers for the company she works for. We went to the mall and we were in Macy's and a lady asks if we are Christians. I say that I am but my mom isn't. Then she goes into saying "Jesus bless you, Jesus loves you and died for your sins..." She witnessed to my mom about how even though we are sinners He still loves us and that she needs to accept Jesus into her heart.
It was weird. The lady said Jesus in Chinese at the beginning of the conversation so at the end of the conversation I asked her what Asian background she was. She is originally from Indonesia. It was pretty cool. I know it was God just showing himself more to me and answering prayers that I've prayed. It's baby steps with being a witness for Jesus to my parents. Later I asked my mom her thoughts. It was that we have to respect each others beliefs...I don't know how to have a conversation with my mom about stuff like this. It's even harder to have a conversation with my dad about stuff like this. At dinner my mom told my dad what had happened at the mall and he always brings up the law...about freedom of speech, religion etc. He kind of gets defensive. He doesn't seem to understand what being relational is. Any personal information can never be spoken about.

Sunday was awesome! I love church. My pastor preached an awesome message and I felt God's presence. The Joy we have for the Lord was present. My pastor preached about Crowns. The crowns that the Lord wants to bless His children with. Then in the evening I went to Joshua House at the Vineyard in columbus with a friend. It was awesome too. I had gone the week before and they started a new series on Joseph called Living the Dream. It was really good. After church I got to talk with a girl I had met the week before and I just got to encourage her. I love what the Lord is doing in my church and in young people. I love what God has given me to be used by Him in ministering to others. It's amazing.
He is Good!!!
