But This Was Different!
Through the years, I have often laid low about my Christian Beliefs. Rather it be to look and appear "Cool" at school, or just because I simply doubted the reality of it. I hardly spoke of it to others. Besides those at the Churches I attended. It's like I was a double agent. Good Cop, Bad Cop. One way here. Another way there. As I began to mature in my walk, my LIFE with Christ, my spirit began to flow out of me.
I have been a part of Planning Yesterday now for 2 years. The past 2 years have been the greatest 2 years of my life. Or so I thought. Through all of the "Shows" and "Gigs". All of the camps and retreats. Nothing could have prepared me for Yesterday, April 9, 2009. I finally realized how important it is that we, IE. Planning Yesterday, and us as followers of Christ, to share Christ with others. I have never been one to initiate discussion about Christ. I have never just gone up to someone and said, "Hey there. Can I tell you about my Best Friend in the Whole world?"
Here's the deal. My boss at work has been in alot of pain and confusion over the past 2 weeks, involving her Daughter and the CPS investigating her family for Abuse to her. She has been looking to other things to get her mind off of it all. She is a genuine, and good person. She was just hurting so bad. My co-worker is a Christian too, so I had some........ Back-up, lets say. As I was about to ask her if she had thought to turn to God, she began to ask. To ask what can make it better. What can help her hurt. In the Hour to follow, we led her to an understanding of Gods Love, and plan for her life. We gave her a bible, to which she gladly accepted and began to read. This morning, she told me she had read it last night, not only alone, but also with her daughter. We planted a seed, gave it "Food, and Water"(the Bible), and are here to help it grow.
My prayer is that God will allow my Gifts, and talents to present themselves to others that need the Love of Christ. That he would you this ministry called, Planning Yesterday, to reach the lost and hurting. It has already begun. We have started the race. And now we allow Him to lead us on this path, to the finish line!

Wow, what a testimony you have. Leading your boss to the Lord. That's what this is all about!
The best witness for Christ is just allowing His love to shine through you. Not everyone is cut out to stand on the street corner shouting out for sinners to repent.
Bees are not drawn to vinegar but rather to the sweet nectar of the flower. This is also true with those around us who are overwhelmed with life.
Let the sweet nectar of the Rose of Sharron flow through your life and it will be the proof that others need to know that there is an answer.
You have learned an important lesson, to allow the Holy Spirit to use your faithfulness to be the light to guide the lost around you who are struggling in the darkness. Keep your little light's batteries charged and allow His light to keep shining through you.
