Gone Fishin'Minta

I Used To Share Jesus Everywhere When I became a Christian at the age of 21, I was telling everybody I knew about Jesus. But as the years went on my circle of friends became nearly all Christians. Talking to people about becoming a Christian became a rarity. Have you experienced that? Are all your friends Christians?  Do you wonder if you've become too self-centered? I realized I was missing out on all that joy. Then God Opened My Eyes Gone Fishin ' began in my heart Tuesday, November 5th, 2019 A friend of mine shared in a message to our adult fellowship, "If you ever wish you had more ministry, just go sit in the waiting room of a hospital." I instantly knew this is what the Lord wanted me to do. I've been watching another friend for years faithfully share Christ wherever she went. I always wanted to be like that. This could be titled “Gone Lovin’” because I simply want to be Jesus to people. If that includes sharing the complete gospel too, great! I just decided to do it . I go when the Lord leads me. And I want to emphasize this is the Lord's doing - I'm learning. I’m also not expecting anyone else to “be like me”. Comparing is crippling. As I walk to St Jude hospital (these stories are before Covid-19) I pray for the people that I've shared with already and ask Him to fill me with the Spirit. While walking home, I praise the Lord for whatever happened and then speak the results into my phone's notes. I am learning to love the people with whom God’s Spirit is prompting me to meet. I never know what God might already be doing in their lives. The love of Jesus has stirred within me and completely overcome my fears and obstacles to sharing . Praise the Lord! What an adventure! To God be the glory! As it turns out, this excitement is now happening wherever I go. I have returned to my “New Christian” lifestyle.
