That's great news, Jilly! :)

A couple of praise reports:

First, I would like to thank God for what he has done in Ugly's life. I pray his new kidney continues to function well and trust that any future procedures go well also.

Secondly, I talked with a young lady last night who used to come to CC. She was a cutter. Many of us talked with her, sang with her and prayed for her. She has since moved to a new state to live with extended family members, away from the dreadful situation that was hurting her. She still has a lot of trouble being around crowds of people, so it is still difficult for her to go to church, but God is using the crafts she loves to introduce her to ladies of the church. I firmly believe that once she becomes more comfortable around these ladies they will be able to help her feel more comfortable attending church on a regular basis. She is NOT cutting anymore! Praise God :)

I do not have permission to post her name and probably wouldn't anyway, but God knows who she is, so your continued prayers would be greatly appreciated. :)

^ Awesome, julieannie ^

The Lord leads :)
-------()-----
And, let us not forget, Christ peeps, THIS is a very rare thread indeed .

Five shields !
------()------- Their should be a little wonder, a little marvel, at that fact, as there are /have been dozens of hundreds threads started on c.c. but do you want to guess how many reached THIS thread's status ? ? ?

And, is it because jilly is so likably silly ? Yes, ok, doesn't hurt but what should he known is jilly goes onto the prayer threads a lot and invests time that way, hitting the 'like' button alike of what's on people's hearts for prayer and she's a great blessing in the introducing forum of new members, too.

This is where God shines jilly out there for all to see, His shining, her being His light to a dark and darkened world that sooooo needs Jesus. :)

Be bold, milady, and, to all doing His work, too, wherever, He leads go with Him where He wants you to go, be brave, for He just may take you where no 'man' has gone before :)

The Lord leads.... :)

I just wanted to bump this thread; this is the one GreenNnice mentioned a few days ago in the "Streams of Consciousness and Thought" thread Arwen started. Most of the newer peeps haven't seen this, so I figured I'd bring it to the top of the front page again :).

Thank you, Jim:)! I like to bump this thread every so often, so that's why I didn't respond right away.

James, it's been awhile this time around, but previously it had been short periods of time in between thread bumpings.

I'm sorry, but I think I'm going to have to give you a bunch of fake notifications for that one.

Like you, I like Private Messaging and believe the best work for Christ is done there due to it being one on one, making it more personal.:)

I know that many of you have heard the stories of people who claim to be seekers, yet come into this site's chat room and start arguments in the main chat, usually being rude or blasphemous enough that they get banned within an hour at the most. Many seekers have also come in... however, they usually sit there and watch. I know this; I've talked to many of them. I wanted to share three stories with you.

The first lady was one I greeted after the CC bot said that she had just joined that day. She said in the main chat that she felt like God had told her to come here. I asked if I could PM her. When she said that that would be fine, I asked her privately if she had ever accepted Jesus as her Savior (I actually felt led to ask her that right away). "No, I never have" she said. "I believe that Jesus is God, but I don't see why He had to die". I explained to her how our sins had to paid for, because we couldn't save ourselves, and Jesus was perfect, so His sacrifice paid the price for the bad things we have done. She mentioned that there were some things she was doing that she knew were wrong...she added that she was probably bad, because she rather enjoyed doing those things. I told her that it was normal to feel that way; the Bible says that sin is a pleasure. She said that she wanted to go to church, but didn't know how she'd be treated. I kind of cringed inwardly, knowing that there's a good chance that she'd be judged.....glad she decided to look for God on the internet. Never thought I'd think of the net that way, but recently I have a lot. Anyway, before she left, she said that she was going to ask Jesus to be her Savior :).

Another lady came in and I asked about her screen name (her moniker made me think that she was curious about Christianity, which she affirmed). I gave her the Gospel in a few sentences. She thanked me and said that she grew up Jewish, but that she and her husband didn't officially even believe in God. I asked her if she'd ever read Isaiah 53. She said that she had; those prophesies are what got her wondering if Jesus might be the Messiah. Part of her hesitation seemed to be that she had assumed that she would have to leave her husband if she accepted Jesus. I assured her that she wouldn't; that scripturally she should actually stay with him unless he insists on leaving her, which really seemed to surprise her. She mentioned that she'd been to other Christian chat websites, but had only watched. She said that she was about to give up, "but then you PM'd me....". Wow, even now as I type that, it felt funny..... so glad I decided to talk to her.

The third story is of a man who typed in the main chat, "Okay, since I'm here, it probably means that I want someone to tell me about God". I said that I'd be glad to talk to him, as did another person. I then PM'd him, just to make sure that he didn't get away :). He started out by telling me that he was an atheist (I think he did this so that he'd know right away if I was judgmental). "Okay, cool" I said. I told him the Gospel. I'd rather not give any more details since others might have seen his announcement in the main chat, but after I answered his questions and said that I needed to leave, he said, "Have an awesome day :). Godspeed".

These people were from three different countries (the US, Europe, and Australia). Both of the women specifically thanked me for telling them the Gospel, as many others have (the Jewish lady even typed "hugs" when I clarified something to make sure that she didn't take what I'd said the wrong way). I've gotten very little opposition, even though everyone I've talked to has been a total stranger, and I don't even have a photo of myself they can see.

Just hoping desperately that we will all tell the Good News to the ones who need to hear it....not just on this website; hopefully everywhere, but it's such a ripe harvest out there in the lounge.....

One more thing: you guys, please take this thread the way it's meant....this isn't directed at any specific person. Please don't turn it into an argument. I just wanted to tell everyone about some awesome things that have been happening in the chat room, partly in the hopes that others will be willing to join me in this exciting venture; NOT to have this be Jill's "atta girl" thread.....please don't think that I'm looking for kudos for this. Just hoping that we could all tell the Good News to the ones who need to hear it....not just on this website; hopefully everywhere, but it's such a ripe harvest out there in the lounge..... wow, what an easy way to fulfill the Great commission....people who are searching, and they're willing to listen to a complete stranger.......you guys, this is almost too easy....
I didn't hear "atta girl." I heard, "atta God!" ....or something...

Anyway, I am grateful those people found you, and may you continue doing a rich work for the King! Shalom!!

You as well MrsRoseTreasure, may God use you too :).

And thank you for the post, Joseph. Yes, people seem to really like a message tailored just for them. Come to think of it, that's pretty much how God treats us :).

I just wanted to bump this thread, partly because a gentleman from a Muslim country accepted Jesus a couple nights ago!

It matters that we don't waste time arguing with trolls, and instead evangelize the lost. I think I was the only one in the chat room who noticed this man, and we now have a new brother! And he's already told a friend about Jesus!
Thank You, Lord! :D <3 <3 <3
