Hello all,
First off, I'd like to say that I'm sorry I haven't been around the boards much lately. My CPA test is less than a week away and I'm seriously feel like I'm going to need God's intervention to pass! Luckily I know that it really isn't such a big deal in the whole scheme of life. I would like to be able to help other Christians out with my skills though later in life.
I have been reading the posts on the thread and have really felt like the Holy Spirit has restored these boards on SI to a peaceful, loving place to be. Praise the Lord!
On a sadder note, my grandmother recently went into the hospital (last week) and was diagnosed with cancer of the colon. She was an unsaved, alcoholic when she went in to get surgery. My mother went out East to see the extended family at the hospital and the Holy Spirit was definitely at work. My grandmother, through some strange circumstance that I don't know the full details of, accepted Jesus into her life after the surgery! Praise the Lord! My Grandfather and Uncle also were there and are seriously starting to be convicted by the Holy Spirit but still aren't ready to give themselves, fully, to the Lord yet. They're both pretty stubborn. My Grandfather was a lawyer and was appointed by President Ford to be the President of OSHA a few years back so I'm pretty sure that he thinks he doesn't need God in his life right now. My uncle is the same way as he is also independently wealthy, but somehow God is eating through these shells.
Anyways, It would be wonderful if people could pray for these three as my Grandmother is doing worse now and has no intestines anymore. Of course, a more dire need (in my opinion) is the saving of my uncle and Grandfather as my Grandmother may be happier in heaven now that she's saved (but that's another discussion).
Thank you and God bless,
Grant |
