There's a new name written down in Glory....
... Posted in Faith and the Gospel
It's not mine-- mine's already there, praise God!
Once upon a time there were two young ladies. They were bestest friends, which in today's language is probably BFF. They were both in band, both played clarinet, and both liked the boys. These girls drove each other insane much of the time, but loved each other nevertheless, in that way that best friends who get on each others nerves do...lol One became a Mormon, the other didn't-- although she felt it only proper and loyal to support her friend in her newfound faith. They both eventually got married and started families.
Anyway, as time went on, their lives took pretty different turns. The one who wasn't a Mormon found herself in a Pentecostal church, and was confronted with her sin before a Holy God. She got saved-- Redeemed, how she loved to proclaim it!-- and it changed her life forever. She often thought of her friend from school, and wondered if she had ever left the Mormon church and gotten saved, but knew of no way to find out. So many moves, so much water under the bridge....
One day she found her. Or rather, she found her friend's sister, who then got them in contact with each other. So many years had gone by, but the girl who had gotten saved started to seriously pray for her friend's salvation.
And guess what? The Lord is still in the saving business, and her name got written down in Glory last Monday!!! My dear bestest friend is now my Sister in Christ!!! Praise God, Hallelluia, OUR GOD REIGNS!!!!!

Where did you get your Israel banner? I found you because of the hymn He Leadeth Me" and left a comment. Then I saw the banner. I'd like to add it to my blog.
Nice blog--inspirational.
Blessings,
