Discouraged and now Encouraged   Leave a comment

So When I was in Arkansas last week me and a friend had the privilege to share about who Jesus is with our two friends that were Muslim and had never heard about what Jesus did for us! It was such a cool opportunity!

I left there thinking man I love the God I serve! I thought to myself that this is what we are commanded to do is to be his hands and feet and to share the good news with every person we see and it’s such an honor! Me and my friend trena have been praying really hard for our friends and I recently found out that one of the guys was going to come to our church back at home for the first time to see what it was all about! I was really excited this morning and was driving to church in Tn this morning and just was praying so hard for this guy and for truth to continue to be spoken and for the lord to do amazing things! I was so sure that good things were gonna happen!

I prayed through the service and my heart was really heavy for him to know Jesus and then I ask my friend about how everything went after church and she told me he didn’t show up this morning! I WAS VERY DISCOURaGED!! And as I sit here now it’s like I was just reminded that it’s not about me and its all in Gods perfect timing that he might come to know him! I feel that the lord is teaching me that even when things like this happen and we pray so hard and trust in GOd for big things and then nothing happens right then or things fall through at last minute Am I Still Going To Trust Him?!?! The answer is yes! I have to this is what faith is all about! I serve a big God and things will happen when God wants them to not when I want them to and that’s ok! I have to learn to accept that!

Needless to say even though I was discouraged I am now encouraged because I believe in the power of prayer!!
