Five years ago my family moved my two little sisters and I to Florida. I never realized how much my life would change. Not only did I start a new school, get new friends, a new church, but even my family life changed. Little by little my family fell out of church to the point where they didn't even go but maybe once a month. It was hard, not only for my walk with God, but also to watch them slowly, but surly lean to a life without God. I can't say I was perfect I fell out at one point also, but when I got back the only thing I ever prayed for was for them. I prayed God's will, I prayed that their hearts would be opened that they would get a hunger and that things would go back to the way they used to be so many years ago. 5 years I prayed this prayer and this past Sunday...
*GOD ANSWERED IT*
I'm not sure what got a hold of her, but whatever it was it brought my mom down to the altar and for what seemed a lifetime of praying and fasting going to waste I soon saw that it was not. My mom was dwelling in the presence of the Almighty once again. Hands raised, voice crying out, pleading for mercy and being renewed in the Holy Ghost!!!! I don't think I've ever experienced such a joy. It was overwhelming and far more then I expected. She not only got renewed, but she is changing right before my very eyes. She is doing this fast with me, she is a happier person, God blessed her with job after being unemployed for over a year and family life has been far more pleasant needless to say!
I love it love it love it<3
I'm so proud of her and all that God has in store for her and my family. It's going to be an amazing year!!!!
Thank you friends and family who have stood by my side and prayed with me! It means so much to me<3...and Billy Shear for helping me with this post!!! lol :)
With Love,

Ally, I'm sitting at work reading your post and crying!!! It breaks my heart to see how easy/quick people can slip away. But the grace and mercy of God is such an awesome thing. I have prayed for your family a long time. I'm soo happy for you and your mom. Thankful that you are seeing (and I'm hearing) the results. Love you Chickie and am so very proud of you for taking a stand when it might not have been popular and definitely wasn't easy. {{{HUGS}}}
