God's Spirit Pouring Down On Our Sons & Daughters....!!!!

Good morning! Wow! Do I ever have some wonderful, amazing, awesome news to share with all of you!

We are having a Revival/Revolution here in Whiteland, IN! It is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G what God is doing in our lives! He says in His word that He will pour out His spirit upon our sons and daughters and boy is He ever! I am in total AWE over what He is doing in the kids lives!

Our kids have always been raised on "christianity" but as happens with so many, we didn't stick to it the way we should of, we didn't keep them involved which in turn made it so much easier for us to "slack" so to speak and be "convenient" christians. Let me take you back a few months....

A few months ago, my parents were given some books for Christmas. It was the "Left Behind" series. Taylor was drawn to them and began reading. Soon he was through with books 1, 2, and 3 and was wanting more. We took a trip to library and checked out as many as they had available and he immediately began reading again at a high rate of speed. He was going through them quickly.

I started noticing a change in him. He was back to his "old" self but a new improved version of his "old" self! Before long, Eian was asking Taylor if he could read the books and was wanting to learn everything he could! It was truly AMAZING what God was doing in their lives!

Last Thursday, while we were waiting in the lobby of the heart catherization lab for the doctor to come out and talk to us, Braeden went to his Uncle Rusty and told him he needed to talk to him right then. They went out in the hall and right there in the hallway of Methodist Hospital, Braeden gave his heart and life over to God!!!

Everyday since then, Taylor, Eian & Braeden have been having Bible studies, they are witnessing to their friends and peers, they are reading their Bibles and growing in leaps and bounds! They don't care that the kids are making fun of them. They are excited to be "Jesus Freaks"!!

Their little group is expanding to others. Saturday night Eian & Braeden's cousin, Austin, came to their Bible Study and although he didn't ask them to pray with him that night, he did ask what he needed to do to be saved. Last night while they were getting ready for another Bible study, Austin called and asked the boys if they would please come and pick him up today for Bible Study! And yesterday Braeden shared the gospel with a boy at school and he came to their Bible study last night and Bri attended too! Praise God!!! Today I got a text from Bri telling me she wanted to "talk" to someone she hadn't talked to in a long time. I think maybe she was needing encouragement but the truth is, she is strong and full of love and compassion. I know God will be with her!

The boys will be leaving tomorrow for Mardi Gras. Mardi Gras you say? Well, they are not going to celebrate Mardi Gras - they are going to celebrate God's love, His forgiveness & His hope for eternity. They are going to share the Gospel with the lost and show them there is hope for eternity! I ask you all to join me in praying God will protect them and use them to His Glory!


Do you see the pattern here??!! God has started a REVIVAL in our lives, our homes, our hearts and I am just rejoicing! I am so thankful that even though I messed things up and got in the way so many times God didn't hold that against us. He still loved us and He was still willing to forgive us and pour out His blessings upon us! There is so much more I wanted to share with you all but time is getting away from me and I have so much to take care of today but I just had to share this AMAZING news with you! I promise to keep the praise reports coming!

Until then,
Beth
