praise report!

I got an email from my mom this morning saying that my uncle had prayed with her this weekend to receive Christ!

SO COOL!!

She's been sharing the Gospel with him longer than I could probably remember, but apparently it's just taken that amount of time, and a few unexpected turns in life, to get him to a point where his heart was soft. He even asked her why she'd stopped sharing with him in recent years!! She told him that she had said everything she could, and that the choice was up to him how to respond to it. On Sunday morning he made a very good decision and chose to put his life in God's hands.

I immediately thought of my older brother, who has run hot and cold in his reactions to my questions about his interest in God over the last few years, and who at this point probably wouldn't set foot inside the Rock if his life depended on it. No matter how he responds to me, I know I can't give up hope that one day his heart will change. Hopefully it won't take him until he's 60, like my uncle.
