The Aftermath of Closure

Listening to: Further Seems Forever- I Am. "I am redemption. I am desire for obligation. I am one step closer to you."

Today is officially the last day of my summer, as I begin my concurrent education placement at St. Paul's Catholic School tomorrow.

Today is the best day ever...I have the best news ever. Today, at 11:00am, while I was serving coffee to someone at drivethru, Sarah was in her room praying for salvation.

That's right. Sarah became a Christian today.

What a way to end the summer. I am so overwhelmed by this that it's like I'm reliving my own salvation. It's so exciting. I expected God to work in her life, I did not expect her to do it today...so much sooner than I anticipated. So freaking exciting. Like, I honestly can't express it on this screen...the conversation was kind of funny too, it went like this:

"So, I listened to this really sad message last night that stressed the urgency of salvaion...because Hell really sucks...it really made me worry about you." I said.
"Oh, I don't think you need to worry anymore, Noah," she said.
"What?! Did you...ask God a question?"
"Yeah, at 11:00am this morning."
"Wow. You can even tell me the date and time. I'm so excited that I want to run into the traffic right now..."
"Please don't."
"Okay."

So after this I proceeded to remind Sarah that she had just made the most important decision she'll ever make in her entire life. It was kind of overwhelming for both of us. So all of you that read this that are believers, keep praying for Sarah that she will grow and mature in her relationship with Jesus. Your prayers matter. They have mattered. Thank you.

On another note, I'm getting together with Jerry today, as we have decided to study through the New Testament with each other.

So this is how my summer ends: With desire for the truth, with a new church, with new friends, with being used by God to help bring one of his children home...and with strong conviction of my worst faults.

And so I march on...
