Overwhelmed

Let me start off by saying that "I love being a Christian"! Ever since I gave my life over to Jesus, I have been blessed beyond belief. I have always thought that I was a good person and treated everyone the same. When I gave my life to Jesus, my outlook on people changed. I saw people differently (in a good way). Especially my family. If they ever needed me, I tried to be there for them. I wanted them to be able to count on me for help. People I met on the street. I started to have more compassion for them. Started to be even more friendly with them. Go out of my way to do something nice for someone. I noticed that I would stop to help someone on the side of the road with car troubles. I would stop and help anyone if I could. I was feeling and seeing the changes that the Holy Spirit was doing in my life. I try to let the light of Jesus shine through me and out of me on to everyone else. It is really an awesome feeling, let me tell you.

I never really understood the full aspect of how I was treating people until my birthday last Sunday. My family went way out of their way to be overly generous to me. Not that they haven't before, but this time was different. The kinds of cards I recieved, showed me that I as affecting everyone around me.

Then on Sunday afternoon, after we came home from lunch with friends, I sat down and opened up my Facebook page. I was astonished! Overwhelmed actually! I had almost fifty people posting on my wall wishing me a happy birthday! I nearly cried. I had no idea, that many people cared enough about me to wish me a happy birthday. I mean they took a moment out of their busy day to wish me a happy birthday. Praise GOD!! He is working in me and through me to reach other people. I praise Him for that!

I am blessed to have the best family and friends anyone could ever ask for! That's not because of me. It's because of Jesus, in me! Hallejuah!! All the glory to you GOD!!!
