God at work

In the last month, I've seen God everywhere in my life and I have never have experienced this much at one time ever in my life. HE has helped me through the tough times I have had recently with the passing of my grandmother. I have seen God work through people to encourage me and to comfort me when I was at my lowest points. I am overwhelmed by how awesome it will be to see HIS face once I go to Heaven and just having that thought makes it easier to know that my grandmother is with Jesus and not suffering. In fact, I am jealous of her, that she is praising THE KING right now at his feet and I am praising him with faith but not sight.

Through Youth camp then the Mission Trip God has shown himself to me in ways I have never seen before. God has spoken through my Dad, assuring me that my trip to Connecticut was not going to be a mistake, but an opportunity to seek God's face and share hope to those without hope. For example: I was given the opportunity to share Jesus with someone on the trip. We where at a mall in Waterbury, Connecticut when a couple of us decided to talk with people, asking the Holy Spirit to send us someone. Sure enough the Holy Spirit sent a guy to us and it was clear to me that I should talk to him. I began to ask him who Jesus meant to him and if he was sure he would go to Heaven. When I asked him why he could go to Heaven thats when he realized he didn't know and thats when I shared how Jesus paid a price for our sins so that we can know Him personally and know without a doubt we will see Him in Heaven. I lead him in a prayer and because I was not afraid to share Jesus someone else can be with Jesus. How awesome is that? God can use anyone, heck he used me as a tool and he can use you!
