Prayer Changes Things!!!!!

Most of you know, I've been praying for my husband for a long time now. We have had a lot of problems but God had promised me that he would be redeemed. I got so discouraged sometimes, seeing the way that he was acting, knowing that the Lord had so much better things planned for him.

My mother in law requested that we all go to church with her Sunday. She wanted us to go in honor of Donnie, who passed away last Tuesday. He always prayed that his children would come to know and serve the Lord. She said he prayed 3 times a day, for the kids, for the neighbors, for the church. Well, when we got there Sunday, a neighbor lady and a good friend of the family got up to sing a song, they said for the Thomas family. They were going to sing Robe of White, a beautiful song. They didn't even get started good before Bucky jumped up out of that seat and marched down there to the altar. Most of the church jumped up and ran down there with him! We've been praying for him so long!!!! I've been telling God, just give me something, I've been praying so long, I feel like something's hindering my prayers, please, Lord let me know you're listening!!! The Lord touched him in a mighty way that morning, he rededicated his life to the Lord, he had been "saved" as a teenager.

Next thing I know, after he got up, his sister's husband was on his knees crying out ot the Lord and rededicated his life also!!! Then, after service, the other sister's husband stayed to talk to the preacher and wound up doing the same thing!!!!! What a day that was!!! Our preacher said he thought we done turned pentecostal!!!! There was shouting and jumping up and dancing!!!! It was wonderful!!! Not likely to be forgotten in these parts for a while!

Continue to pray for the family that we will be strengthened in the Lord, that we will continue to draw closer together, that the Lord will deliver us all from temptation. I'm so excited, looking for many more blessings from the Lord through the coming days! Thank you all so much for your prayers! God bless and Agape, Annie
