Shut down in my own home.... My son's best friend just asked me to not preach to him about God, or tell him when I hear Angels singing, cause it's too

much! He's heard it all before! He said that he believes in God, but he doesn't want to talk about it with me anymore...He only comes here to hang out with his friend, my son! Nothing more! He gave me a hug and the words God bless you slipped out of my mouth!!! I don't think that I can change who I am??!!! It's how I think, it's what I believe, being a Christian is who I am, but at the same time I do want to respect his boundries as a Christian too! Like Heaven forbid I push one of these young ones out of the reach of God by pushing my beliefs on them constantly...But I am who I am at the same time? I need a balance, I need to respect his boundries and yet be myself a Christian woman of God who experiences Angels singing, and miracles, and grace! And believes in the Bible, and thinks of the truths of the bible as my own truths. Help me Lord!

Praise the Lord! This young mans older brother who is also best friends with my other son has told me that he is a born again Christian!!! We talked yesterday and he told me that he saw the cross and was redeemed, and that he was born again, and that he felt the Hand of the Lord upon his shoulder, and that he has been talking to his Grandma's small church's pastor who said that some people read the bible 40 years and still don't get it, and that he is seeming to get it! I shared my most favorite scripture that He made Him He who knew no sin became sin for us so that we might have the righteousness of God! And about the worlds! I also gave him a really good bible with commentary's and a concordance and he told me that he's been reading it!!! I am so happy for this young man! I never thought he'd read that bible, thinking it was a loss, but it's not, he's reading it, He's been born again, he's been experiencing a Jesus High! He is a big influence in my sons life! Praise the Lord, Thank You Jesus for saving this young man...Tiz truly beautiful! Hallelujah!!!
