Today has truly been an amazing day! Justin accepted Jesus into his life! I could not be more thrilled, prayers were certainly answered today!
Today in Chapel former NFL player, Scott Turner, visited our campus and talked to us about salvation and not turning your back on God when things get rough and used his college/NFL experience to tell the story. Of course as soon as Justin saw NFL on the screen when we first walked in his said to me "dang! I better listen today!" I just looked at him with a look he normally gets when he says something silly. But little did we both know that today God was speaking through Mr. Turner and straight to Justin's heart.
After leaving chapel, Justin was excited more than normal and just kept saying I really want to talk to this guy before he leaves! And that he did. Mr. Turner was down at the football field house (where Justin's next class was) and they got to talking, I'm not sure exactly what was said but they ended the conversation with a prayer and since that Justin has been overwhelmed with excitement and Joy.
I was in Microeconomics when Justin texted me telling me he had something so exciting to tell me but he had to tell me in person. I asked what it was about and he said he couldn't tell but he had gotten the chance to talk to Mr. Turner! I got out of class and met him at chick-fil-a for lunch, thinking that he was going to say he talked to Mr. Turner about the NFL and got pointers and what not. Little did I know I would be shedding happy tears for the rest of lunch.
Justin was so anxious to tell me! I felt bad cause I really needed to go to the bathroom so I made him wait for I would have definitely peed my pants! When I came back he looked at me with a smile and said, "I'm ready" I looked at him confused I wasn't sure what he was talking about so I asked "Ready? For what?" he said he didn't "know how to put it, but yesterday was the anniversary of you giving your life to Jesus; Today is mine." At that moment I couldn't figure out how to say anything I just smiled back at him and tears filled my eyes, I couldn't have been more excited!
Tonight, we will be praying together and Justin will be giving his life to God. I am so excited to see what God has planned for our lives together and walk together with Christ. I am just over joyed at all the excitement today!
"That if you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord'. And believe in your heart that God raised from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. As the Scripture says, 'Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame'. For there is not difference between Jew and Gentile- the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for ' Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved'.(Romans 10:9-13)
