Hello, and welcome once again to my podcast blog to
light my very first episode integrated into the blog titled
I Believe. I am so excited and so appreciative of
the time and energy that you put in to be here.
(00:35):
The following article is a chapter taking out of my
upcoming book, Purposefully Driven, a call to action to pursue purpose,
self discovery and making an impact in a world around you,
which will be out soon. In this article, I share
(00:57):
my story on how my brother be came a believer.
I will also give you an opportunity to add your
prayer request, if interested, to the Faith Box. Each name
placed within this virtual treasure box is a testament of
our shared hope and unwiring belief in God. Join us
(01:21):
in this heartfelt journey as we lift each other up,
celebrating the strength of community and the power of love.
The following story is recorded on Easter morning, which has
defined the rest of my faith journey and the reason
behind the faith treasure Box titled I Believe. A few
(01:47):
weeks prior to my brother's visit, we were asked to
put down an individual's name in a treasure box. We
would then pray for the box in reference of placing
the situation in God's hands and let God do the rest.
And you guessed it. I put my brother's name down
(02:09):
That morning on Easter, I felt a tog in my
heart to ask if my brother would like to join
us at church, to which he responded, I don't have
anything to wear. I didn't really bring clothes to church.
I said, no worries, you can wear whatever you want.
You can even pick out a shirt from my husband's closet.
(02:31):
When I came back, he was still undecided, but agreed
to go with me for support. During a powerful worship
song at the altar where the treasure box was placed,
I was kneeling down praying when I looked to the
(02:52):
back where Leo, my brother, was sitting. I could not
believe what I was seeing. It was my brother lifting
up his hands, whispering something with his lips. I look closer,
and I could not believe what I witnessed that day.
I believe, I believe. A sister came up to me
(03:16):
and said, Sister, I think he referring to my brother,
just got the Holy ghost. As it was a custom
in the church to seek out the gift through enabling
of tongues, I looked at the sister and softly chuckled better.
He got something better, He got faith. You can find
(03:39):
this chapter and more in my upcoming book, Purposefully Driven,
a call to action to pursue purpose, self discovery, and
making an impact in the world around you. That is all.
Thank you for joining me, and I'll see you on
my next episode. By now,
