Trusting God in Times of Trouble-Hopson Carol

Today I received the following e-mail from my dad:
Dear Carol and Jim,
We have some big news to share with you. Our all
night lady, who started with us several days ago when I
needed some extra help, came to us a little religious but
not saved. She is married to a man who wants nothing
to do with God. She had some very keen problems in the
past with a broken home, etc., but her grandfather was
a preacher. We have been working with her and sharing
with her each evening. One evening she said that she
knew the Lord brought her to us, but she was not ready
to make a decision. I told her we would not push her, but
I tried your approach, Carol. I told her that God loved
her so much that He wanted her to be in heaven with
Him, and we wanted her to be there. I gave her a New
Testament and marked some verses for her to read.
Each evening she sat and watched a Gaither video with
us and seemed to enjoy it, and then we would pray.
Last night was her last night with us, and when we
prayed, I asked dear mother if I could pray for her in any
way. Then I asked our helper if I could pray for anything
for her, and she said, "YES!" I asked her what it was,
and she said, "I have made the decision to accept Jesus
as my Savior." Praise the Lord! Our living room became
a delivery room immediately, and we saw and heard a
new "delivery" while she was "born again." I just had to
shed a few tears of joy, and I gave her a big hug. She
mentioned again and again how she knew that God had
brought her to us for these ten days just for this very
reason. It was so wonderful!
by his own lust.
-James 1:13-14
