Word of Praise

They say God works in mysterious ways and I guess they're right. For years my whole family has believed in God, but lately? It's like...some huge revival.
Back when I was twelve, I really got into the Lord God Jesus. My family never went to church because that just didn't work well for us, but I had attended sunday schools, Bible camps, and whatnot and just on my own...I started praying every night. Talking to God constantly, reading my Bible, improving my life.
For years this went on, sometimes getting really hard when satan would try and make me doubt, but in the end I suppose it was for the best. Not just for my faith, oh no. Now my mother goes to church almost every sunday. She reads her Bible, and now...sheesh. Two of my aunts have really gotten into the Lord!
As I said before, for years my whole family has believed, but it's like after they started a family, they just didn't have as much time anymore (like the Bible warns with marriage). Now though...they're all getting older. Their kids are leaving and they're aging...my one aunt attends church regularly, the other who has had LOADS of trouble in life (been married a few times and whatnot) has begun buying various Christian books and now my mom said my other aunt is coming with her to church tomorrow. It's just so amazing!
Praise God for using us to bring more people to Him! At the time we never understand why this type of stuff happens, but there always is a reason.
