Awesome thread. Some of the things that God done for the people here have deeply touched me, and confirmed my faith in Him.

In God we trust
Wow! I have some more great things that God has done for me...
I prayed that He would bring my best friend towards Christianity, and that he (my friend) would stop doing drugs, etc...
well lately we had been slipping away from each other because of our differences.. but suddenly he is always talking to me, and we hang out a lot more.
He read one of the verses on our fridge- "God is not a man; that He should lie. He doesn't change His mind like humans do." Numbers 23:19
and he was asking me questions about it.. he seemed to think about it for a while.
It is great!
Also I prayed that my mom would come back to us (divorced my dad a few months ago) and she is starting to talk to my dad again, they are getting along well and things are getting better.

One morning, the Lord was "leading me" to fast from meat and sugar. He wasn't leading me to do this to make my salvation more secure, or to give me more of His grace, just a general leading with nothing attached to it. I agreed.FatherApe said:
After a few minutes, I walked to the pantry and pulled out some Pop-tarts and ate them. I also grabbed some meats from the refrigerator and cooked them, and then ate them. In my heart I knew I had disobeyed, but I just rationalized it away by saying, "Well, my salvation is not in jeapardy, so I guess I'm alright!"
Then, I was going to start reading my Bible, but I decided to take a small nap instead. Then, I started to dream. I was playing a game of Scrabble with a guy, and a woman walked by and I invited her to play the game with us. Then, a very godly friend of mine walked by and I asked him to play as well. He told me he would rather "get into the Word." I then told him to lighten up and play with us. Then, in the dream, he started to chastise me, telling me that I was making Christianity a game. I then thought in my head, "You know what, this is just a dream. I can wake up and just ignore this whole thing."
When I awoke on the couch where I was sleeping, there was a person sitting on the top of the couch, but he would not let me see him. He then put his hand upon my chest and started to press downward. Fear started to fill my whole body, and I groaned out loud. The angel then said to me, "You are made of body, mind, soul, spirit, and faith. You need to build up your body." His words were like arrows literally piercing my ears. The fear of the Lord trembled my heart, and I saw another person in the distance looking on me, as if he approved of the rebuke. The angel was gone, and I looked up, and realized I had to stop making Christianity a game and start living right for God.
