Unexpected Phone Calls and Days off

Well, I am too excited not to write about what I have experienced. So, in the middle of what I am doing, I am obliged by my enthusiasm to write about what has taken place in the past couple days.
So, yesterday it was my day off and I was planning on preparing a sermon which I will have to preach a few weeks from now. Due to limited time during the next couple weeks, I thought I'd take advantage of Monday to write it. But I got a call from Tony, the evangelist that I work with, and he said that a guy named Michael called him. We had met Michael a few weeks ago when the team from Indiana was here. Tony gave him his number, as we do with many people, and told him to call if he had any questions. Well, yesterday Michael called and had some questions. So, Tony asked if I wanted to meet with them. It took me a few moments to decide to go - but I really felt like I should go, and honestly, I remembered the sermon that I heard from the day before about being a servant - and a servant is available. So, I went and met.
We talked for about 3 hours. It was quite a long day of conversation, but it was fruitful conversation I thought. It seemed like Michael had really understood a lot about what we were talking about. He seemed so interested in learning about this all - but when we got to the part of making a decision to surrender and follow Christ, for some reason, he couldn't make this decision. So, we encouraged him to not take a minute longer than necessary to make this decision. And we talked for a little while longer, then brought him back to his house.
So, just about a half hour ago, Tony called again. He said Michael had called him back. And Tony told me that Michael made a decision to follow Jesus last night! And he wanted to meet with Tony tonight just to ask him a few more questions about what is to come. He is going to go to church with me this weekend Lord willing as well. Praise be to God for opening the heart of Michael. He is a 22 year old guy that is now a child of God! Please be in prayer to God for Mike.
May this be an encouragement to all who plant seeds and don't see immediate fruit. Trust God with the seeds and pray for them, and He will do accordingly to His will! I am so excited for Michael and for Jesus, because He is so good! He is my King! I love my King, and He draws people to Himself! Seek Him and His face! He is beautiful!

Kissing the feet of the King.
Dwight
