Praise

Life and more abundently
Friends,
I am just awestruck at God's great grace and power. As some of you know, my wife and I are no longer together and haven't been for several years now. She has left my town and won't talk to me other than thru a solicitor. I guess I have gotten used to this. Our son was living with her, so I was on my own but praising God for his wonderful grace. Not complaining and bitter. My son applied for 4 uni spots. One spot where I live and 3 where his mother lives. Last week he moved into my accommodation, coz he got only one placement offer - where I live. I have prayed for this. Our first weekend together for months (this weekend) was spent at the beach and then we went to the Botanical Gardens. I spoke to him about my christian walk and how it is anything but boring. If any of you know me, you will realize that this is the case. Those of you who don't know me can catch up in the following blog: http://web.me.com/rmt0912
Anyway, I invited him to church last night. He hasn't been to church other than for weddings and funerals. We sat together and sang and listened to my pastor talking about the blood. I wondered how Rhys would take it. How it was going with him. I went out the front at the end of service to help the pastors praying for those who came forward, leaving Rhys in his seat. You could have knocked me over with a feather when I found out that Rhys was being prayed for by my good friend Pastor Ivan at the alter. God was moving on his life and he came forward to accept Jesus into his heart. What a God I serve. He is just so good to me...so great.
DABbers, I praise the Lord for the wonderful love and blessings that are coming forward in my life.

Hi new me. Yeah, this is an extension of a quite incredible testimony. Most of it is locked up in the old DAB forums. Just suffice to say that God has proven his faithfulness to me in more ways than one.

Thanks Jack for that testimony! It's a blessing to hear it.

Praise God, Andrew!!!

Of all the wonderful things I can imagine, having your child accept Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior is the BEST! To know that they will be spending eternity in heaven with you...there is nothing better.

I know that it's been a long, and sometimes painful, road for you. I pray God will continue to bless you abundantly.
