Amazing

I am a Christian but on here and in real life I do not push my beliefs on others. As with a lot of things in my life, my relationship with God is a private one. Not a secret at all, just something between me and Him. That is why I have never talked about it here. Today is a new day though and I have to tell you what happened to a friend of mine Friday night.

I know a few people who have actually heard the word of God straight from the man himself. Benny is one and my mom is another. He has also come to Little Man more than once. When my mom talked to Him, He told her to do things that didn't make sense but because of her faith in him, she listened and it all made sense in the end. It was life changing things that ended up being the best thing in the world for her at the time. A lot of people thought she was crazy but she didn't care. When He tells you to do something, you listen.


Anyway, my dads best friend that was also my biology teacher in high school had a heart attack a week ago Friday. That Sunday he had a quadruple bypass and all went well. He was sent home last Friday. He is 63 and has been a teacher for 30 years. His son came up to help take care of them and they had put a baby monitor in his room so they could hear if Gerald (my dads friend) was having problems.

Let me just say something real quick. Gerald and his wife are not religious. We actually wondered if they even believed in God but it was never brought up. Ok, back to what happened.


God came to Gerald and had a long talk with him. At one point, Gerald's son heard talking on the baby monitor and got up to go check it out. Before he got to his bedroom door, God told him to go back to bed, that He was talking to Gerald and had it all under control. So, he went back to bed.
My parents went over yesterday and Gerald sat them down and told them what God said.
God told him to retire from teaching. That it was time for him to do something else in life. God wants him to start talking to the youth of America about Him. God outlined the whole plan for him and told him exactly how to do it. God even told him what to call this mission. Youth of America.

Gerald told my parents that he was saved Friday night and that this would be the new path in his life. He has already talked to a local preacher about getting it started. Isn't that AMAZING!
Gerald was a little worried that my parents would think he was crazy. They explained that they totally understood and my mom told him about the times God talked to her and to Little Man. Gerald then said that he has always felt some presence around Little Man and that he now KNOWS that Little Man is destined for greatness and that God gave him to me at such a young age (16) and that I didn't abort him for a great reason. A lot of people have said that about my Little Man.


After Gerald told the preacher what happened, he told his church about it Sunday morning and two teens gave their life to the Lord that morning. His mission is already starting.

I am not asking you to believe anything I am saying, I just wanted to share with you the amazing thing that has happened to a dear friend of mine.
