Jesus said...What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray,Does he not leave the ninety-nine and go to the mountains to seek the one that is straying? And when he finds it, assuredly, I say to you,He rejoices more over that sheep than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray.
Matthew 18:12-13
There's a new lamb in the fold.... and words can't express how wonderful this mom feels! Truly, there's revival going on around here! While I was a workin' my youngest caught a ride to church last night with my sister (bless her soul).... At decision time, my precious angel takes a step of faith, all by herself, heading the call of our Heavenly Father. She shared with my father she had doubted her decision made at the tender age of seven and wanted to get it right. She made a public profession of faith and will be following in believer's baptism this Sunday morning!
I'll have to admit, at first I thought, "wow.... I really wish this had happened when I was able to be there....." then, I was quickly reminded that God doesn't work on "my" time... Every door He knocks on or opens (or even shuts) is done on His schedule.... in His time..... and all the praise, honor, and glory is given to Him.....
