I just got back from visiting some friends and family in my hometown. I couldn't believe my eyes as I led someone to the Lord while sitting next to my dad and wife. While outside my brother was making arrangements to go to Teen Challenge so that he can learn what it means to follow Christ at the same time he is getting clean from drugs. Plus, one of our best friends who would be the last person in the world to go into a drug program broke down and decided he too needed to go to Teen Challenge. He is actually there as we speak.
Some people say miracles don't happen in the 21st century, but if what happened in front of my eyes were not miracles, then I must be dreaming. God was moving in and through me as I just placed myself in the right place at the right time.
I learned that sometimes, just being present when people are going through the storms of life will make all the difference. I didn't have to beg or coerce anyone to make the decisions they made. They made the decisions on their own and I was just there to facilitate their choices.
