[[ God's Awesome Work ]]

God is absolutely amazing. Current mood: cheerful
Amazing...awesome...glorious...marvelous...majestic...whatever other words you can come up with to describe God, He's all of them. To sum it all up...he's INDESCRIBABLE.

Why am I giving God so much glory? Not only because He deserves it all the time and not only when He does something. But He has done something wonderful in my life & the life of a friend of mine.

You see, I have this friend that I was in nursing school with. She was quite a bit older than me but we were still friends. She wasn't the greatest influence...cursed...smoked...and such things like that. But I never gave in to any of those things. She never pressure me to either but still...I was exposed to it and of course there was always temptation there in my face. But...I stood my ground and was the Christian example that I was supposed to be. I was questioned several times about things I believed in and stood my ground and she was one that never put me down for any of it.

Well...here's the great part. Some months after we had graduated from nursing school she had e-mailed me and told me all about how she has quit smoking....is going to church...and doesn't curse anymore!!!! I was blown away when I learned all of this. Because knowing her as I did in nursing school....it was just amazing to me & it showed me that God does work miracles & is truly the ONLY one that can do the changing of anybody's heart. I talked to her on the phone today and just talking with here....not hearing her curse every other sentence...and hearing about her going to church...and God providing her with a great job was soooo amazing to me. I was cloud 9 and praising God for all of it.

It gives me great joy to see how her life has done almost a complete 180 since I last saw her. I know for sure that none of this could of been possible without God...and I give him complete credit for it. It shows how awesome and truly wonderful his power is. I also feel satisfied in that fact that I tried so hard not to give into anything during nursing school and that I had some kind of influence on her decisions.

God is great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
