    My husband's walk with Jesus has been shaky at best since his mom died 4 years ago. He stopped going to church on a regular basis and rarely spoke of prayer in any form.

    In the midst of some of our lowest of lows this summer, I had said to him that we were happiest when we were both attending church and actively involved and then I left it at that. I asked over and over again for him to go to church with me - he always had an excuse why he couldn't or didn't want to go.

    A couple weeks ago he told me he was going to go back to church with me (I admit I was skeptical). The Sunday following that promise he didn't go (his back was sore). He went with me last weekend. Prior to that, he had been asking me what I wanted for my birthday and the only thing I wanted was to go see Building 429 in concert in Fredericton (last night). We got there (my oldest son and his girlfriend bought our tickets as a birthday gift for us)!!

    Prior to the concert, he had been listening to different Christian artists on Youtube and last night he thoroughly enjoyed the concert with me. RIGHT NOW he's watching a live broadcast of the Festival of Hope in Toronto with Billy Graham and he's totally engaged in it.

    God is in absolute control!! Reminds me of the prodigal son

    Thumbs up, Brenda! Maybe some of it is he's feeling the prayers of all your friends...?
