Update--

Thank you all for your prayers at this time. I am excited to say that the Lord is truly working in this situation. Last night, I texted my friend when out of the blue he said, "Phillipians is hard to understand." You see, my signature has Phil 3:9--a verse eluding to how we cannot earn our own way to heaven and that we must trust in Christ. Apparently, he had read most of ch 3 on his own and was having trouble understanding it. I was so excited. We talk too much about the subject, but I know that this was of the Lord. He is moving closer to my friend.

Just continue to pray for his protection from Satan so that these seeds would continue to grow. I am so very excited to see the Lord work--I just can't get over it (not that I want to) I'm sure that our prayers will be answered and I can't wait for the day when I get to post that my friend has been saved.

Thank you for your prayers and your encouragement through the storm. Because of the Lord working in my life through you as well as through me, I know that I will get to the other side of the storm.
