What a Friend we have in Jesus!!!

"Take it to the Lord in prayer!" Don't know why that song just popped into my head. Anyway, just wanted to say hi. Church was really great this morning!!! Worship was fantastic. I don't know what it is about worship music for me, but anytime I just sing praises to him I just LOVE it. Most of you know I am a horrible singer, so it's usually good when Jackie is around, so she can block out my bad singing!! But when I love a song, and it's just me and the Lord, it is SO good!! I have a lot of favorites, but one that sticks out for me is the Santuary song "Lord prepare me, to be a sanctuary!! Pure and holy, tried and true- oh-oh-oh!!! (!!!) I think this song has special meaning for me because it was the song that was sung at Pine Haven after I had made the announcement to accept Jesus as my Lord and Savior, I have a great baptism story!! So, I was at Pine Haven (church camp!) and my mom was there that year, probably to make sure I was being good and all that!! Well every night they do an invitation night during Chapel, and invite anyone who wants to be baptised to come up front. Well the Lord was definetly tugging at my heart that night, and I wanted to ignore it so bad. Getting up infront of people to talk is SO scary for me, and to do this was horrible. I kept thinking, "I'll do it next year!! Maybe then I will be able to get up in front of people!" Whenever I am at a convetion or anything, and the invitation music (there's no name for it, but this is what I call it, when the band comes back, and the leader is giving the challenge, and people come up to accept the Lord!!) It is so great, but at the same time, I CRY everytime anyone goes up there to speak. So I always take kleenexs with me, ANYWHO.... This time at church camp, I just started to cry, and then cool thing was that I wanted to find my mom, I am cry baby, and she knows me best, and when I found her, she was crying too. Like the Lord was telling her it was time for me to make this big step. I just think that it was so amazing that he was talking to both me and my mom. When we got up front though, we were both sobbing, so not sure if anyone heard what she said, but oh well!! I love my mom so much for this amazing baptisim story!!! The Lord is so amazing!! Something I have been struggling with is sharing Christ. I am a very shy person, so telling people about anything is scary, let alone Christ!!! He is so great!!! (Cue the music!!) But after all this happened, we sang the Sanctuary song, and then one time at another convention/gathering or something, they played that song, and a girl that wasn't from my hometown or church, told me it was my baptism song because they played it after I made the decision to be baptised, and I've always loved that song because of that. A goal of mine, that I've had for awhile, is to baptis someone I've brought to Christ. It hasn't happened yet, but I am praying for it!!! Well, it is SUPER late, and I am tired!!! I miss my brother, pray for his safe trip to Wyoming for the summer!!! Mom did cry too!! I knew she would!! LOVE!!
