BRAG ON IT!!!!!

Wow! You both have amazing stories so maybe God had me put this post up so that we could share stories and keep each other accountable/encouraged.

I am in my final week of EE (Evangelism Explosion). Have you guys heard of it..........it's international? Nevertheless, we are in the final weeks of this course and it is driving me crazy. I am a level 1 trainer so I'm actually training folks to go out and witness in the streets. I love it but it has honestly taken a toll on me. I am so weary. You guys stories is what we call "witnessing as a way of life". I tell you ladies...........I'm encouraged.........it's our job to witness and to be a blessing and testimony to folks. If only what we do for Christ will last............I can't get weary.

Sooooooooooo encouraged.

No Talisha, I can't say I have, but we are trying to incorporate evangelism more at our church as well.    But I'm not the "shout it from the mountain & knock on 20 doors" type, that's why I never went in to sales! LOL

However I'm glad to hear that we've encouraged you.

Gigilani,

You are like me........I'm not the "shout it from the mountain top" person either but if I could describe it........it's like a way to socialize and questions you can ask to bring it up. It is really smooth!!

There is no way I could do sales but you couldn't tell me a few years ago that I would be witnessing on the streets of Detroit either. :)

Okay, I'm jumpin' in right here.... G, I was so moved by your story girl!!! Big tears over here.  God is so good!!!   Thank you for letting God lead you.  Thank you for being the woman of God, He needs you to be!  Wow.  I am so inspired!!  I love when we are led and move in His flow.  I KNOW God is telling ALL of us in the end times that we MUST be witnessing!!!  There is no question in my mind about it.  We must gather his body together.  We are disciples.  WE must witness! 

Talisha, I have NO doubt that is EXACTLY why God prompted you to start this post.  God is not playing.  It's time.  We must love each other.  Encourage each other.  Edify and comfort each other.  I have made a new covenant with God and asked for more of Him in order to be used in a greater way.  I want to give more comfort, exhortation and edification, even here on BAF.  With all the hurt and negativity, let US, His children, come out from amongst them and shine differently, even here!  Let us lift and comfort and say words of love to those on this board and not words of hate and hurt.  We are too be different.  So let us show the Jesus in us in a greater way!!  Hallelujah!!!   He WILL use me to lift the low and comfort the hurting and minister to the lost.  I am Worshiper!  We must worship Him.  When I am singing Praise and  Worship, I know He is there in the midst.  It's time ladies.  Let's win the lost!  God is watching.

Love you both soooo much.  Thanks T, for getting the ball started!!!!

i dont snore anymore
i can sleep comfortably in my bed
i can do 30 minutes of cardio ( before I could last maybe 3 minutes)
instead of looking in my closet for something to squeeze into I have to look for something that is not too too big

 I was able to fit into a size 10 bottom even though when I looked at them ans saw how small they were and didn't think i could get into them.

Hey everybody!! (Lee, LOL)
I put on a pair of jeans in a size 22 that used to be too tight.  I went to the grocery store, and had to hold them up by the waist the entire time, becase they were falling off, LOL

Loving my RNY!

I puchased an Ann Klein sweater in blue and a Large and it fit perfectly about 4 weeks ago...Went back and they had a cute pink one in a Medium but I was unsure but purchased it anyway...I have it on today and it fits PERFECT.
