Stuck!

                     I have been rouging canola for the past almost two weeks now. It's tiring but better than most jobs, I'm sure. I have been praying to God, to help me to be a light to those people. Which is my background...old colony mennonite. They are the hardest people to be a witness too. Anyway one day the one guy, (Jake) asked me, "what church do you go to?" I was a bit stunned and out of it, but not surprised that he asked me that question. So I told him, that I go to the mennonite brethren in town. So he asked about how it was and if they were all english speaking and stuff like that. Eventually the conversation turned to the bible and the old bible times. Now this is where it got very tricky! Somehow he got the conversation turned to the bible and rules, and how it says this and that. I can't exactly remember what he said, but he said something that the bible said, that I knew was not right. I told him that, and he asked me how I knew. So I told him that I read the bible and nowhere did it say what he had just said. He kept arguing against it. So because he's my friend, and I didn't want him to stay amd at me or lose a solid friendship...I closed the subject. Being stubborn headed and very sarcastic that I am. You want to know how I closed the subject? I said, "I'll guess we'll see who's right. He was confused and aked me what I meant. SO, I told him, "There is a heaven, and a hell. We either go up, or we go down! When Jesus comes, we'll know who's right, me...or you...He was a bit scared and was like, "yeah, I guess so." What I'm trying to get across, is simply this. It's hard, to be a light for Jesus. You will eventually get to a point where you do get a chance to witness and you will get stuck! But don't let that stop you from being a witness. Keep at it, and pray. prayer will always help and give you the words you need. Ask God to help you, when you get stuck. I have an uncle and an aunt, that I am extremely close too. I love them so much, but they are so far from God. It hurts, and it also helps me to keep going, to be a light for them. I pray with all the strength in me, that they will one day come to Him. To let Jesus live in  their hearts...keep going, even when the going gets tough...and pray for help, when you get stuck!


            Have a great day as you bask in God's GREAT love...and protection...for you!
