Blue Monday

Good morning! Happy Blue Monday. Thank you to everyone who sent me kind words of encouragement and offered up prayers on my behalf for my doctor's appt on Friday. I'm doing okay ... another post for another day ... what I'd really like to show you is what was going on with my two guys while I was away and I get to do it while linking up with my pal Smiling Sally.


My son and husband served this weekend in Leesburg, Florida at a ministry called "Soldiers for Jesus". Notice the beautiful blue sky. My son is not looking directly at the camera here but they were street witnessing and passing out tracks to some notoriously hard core biker gangs. To say I was a little concerned, would be to put it mildly, but Joshua and Jay were thrilled to be out witnessing for the Lord.

These are some of the people they were witnessing to.


This is my beloved son sharing the gospel. The blue sky is lovely but if he didn't have on the sunglasses you'd be wow'ed by the eye color, I can truly say! lol One person gave their life to the Lord this weekend. And my guys were really 'stoked' about it. They have an 8 month process induction before they can be considered a full time member of Soldiers for Jesus but they are putting in their time. I would like to say as Josh's Mom, that this has always been his strong suit. Street witnessing. I am terrified of this kind of boldness but he loves it.

I pray you have a blessed day in the Lord. Big hugs to you!

It takes a really special person to step out in faith like your son and hubby did. What a blessing that God has drawn them to a ministry where they can flourish! Happy Monday!

No need to worry about the bikers; there's even an organization of Bikers for Jesus. Thanks for sharing. Happy Blue Monday.

Debra, This sounds like a great ministry. I'm with you, my gift is not street witnessing, but I so respect those who have this gift and are so willing to step out for the Lord.

Have a great week!

That is so great that they can do that together.
I'm with you though, I wouldn't make a very good street evangelist but I do admire those who do it!
Hugs.

Guess what? My brother (who is not a Christian) was there this weekend with his motorcycle and friends. Wouldn't that be something if your guys spoke to Steve? I'll have to ask. My brother lives in St. Pete and loves his motorcycle.

Frizzy said...

WOW! I am impressed by your son too. Sounds like you'll both be learning a lot from each other in your continued walk with the Lord. IMPRESSIVE! You must be sooooo proud!

It takes special children of God to go beyond their comfort zones the way your son and husband did -- you must be very proud (when you are not worrying!)
Thanks for sharing a wonderful story -- Cass

Roberta said...

Hi Debbie, After reading today's blog, about Josh and your husband going street witnessing,I just had to put in a comment. That is just such a special talent,and they both deserve a double thumbs up. There is always resistance in the spirit world when it comes to spreading the word out there. Thank God, That we are overcomers. Hope that your Dr.appointment went ok. We will be praying.
