so my little sister became a Salvation Army Soldier yesterday. pretty cool huh?
made me think back to my enrolment at the beginning of this year. wow. so much has happened in my life since then - some good stuff, some bad.
i was thinking back to when i got enrolled as a soldier - both my mum and my sister were not present.
At that time, my sister was going through depression. The day of my enrolment, she was admitted to hospital as she had attempted to take her own life (three times in total within about a month).
Now she is loving Jesus, and living for Him. Thanking him for the new LIFE he has given her.
Wow.
The change in her alone is incredible.
And you know what? he's doing it in others' lives aswell!!! God has the power to turn our lives around! And it's an incredible feeling to see so many people HAPPY...and LOVING Jesus!
At our church... we've had around 18 people (at least) give their hearts to the Lord for the first time. It's so exciting! and people are actually grasping on to the vision for our church too!
May i be clear though, this stuff doesn't come without a fight. Jesus said that this would never be easy... and it's not. Christianity isn't easy. Fighting for Jesus isn't easy.
But wow, it is well worth it!
Blessings!
