my decision....(from camp)

well the Lord worked in my life all week last week...and He didn't just work while the sermons were being preached. He was working just in the camp, while we were hot and sweaty when we were playing games, and even while we were sharing the food that all the guys were snarfing down...it was the fact that you could actually feel God's presence at that camp, you knew all week that He was at work in hearts. well as i was saying, He was doing a work in my heart. mostly He had convicted me of my prayer life, i used to pray all that time for my brother and my unsaved dad. but then as i started maturing and realizing what my dad was doing to me and himself, by drinking, i stopped praying because i thought and believed that he didn't deserve my prayers. and God convicted me of that...how dare i choose who and who not to pray for. i am just as bad as my dad because God doesn't weigh sin, and my dad is not a christain....i had been harboring this bitterness in me for years. but this last week at camp, i can honestly say that i let it go, God is once again in control. so many things that i had said to my dad and that i had said to my brother were coming out of my heart of bitterness. because that bitterness was controling me. now i honestly believe that when i talk to my dad or my brother, God can speak through me, and before he could not because i was in sin. just because i let it go, and just because God is back in control doesn't mean that i will not struggle with it. so please be praying for me....i'm going to be calling my dad this coming saturday, because that's the only day tht he'll be home and not doing anything. and i'll also have this week to be getting ready. i'm going to try to witness to my dad, and apologize to him for this bitterness and for the way that i've treated him with disrespect for such a long time. i will be doing this over the phone which i would rather be doing it face to face but god can still work, even over the phone....i love my dad so much and really want to see him saved and on his way to heaven. anyway, i would really appreciate all of your prayers. thanx.
in christ,
dani
