Family and friends (and lots of them)

This New Years Eve I will never forget. Along with everyone else, I had plans. But as soon as I heard the news I had to come back home and forget everything. One thing though I was reminded of was Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.” Who reminded me of that was Nathan. He and Krista were Andy’s first visitors. Nathan shed some light into an area of Andy’s life that we, his family did not know anything about. A few months ago a really good friend of Andy’s was involved in a car accident died. Ever since then he has been struggling on the inside about his relationship with God and where he stood. Nathan said that Andy came to him a few weeks before to talk to him about his relationship with God and for prayer. Another lady from the youth group, Mrs. Kim, who is a really close mentor to Andy, said that he has been speaking to her about getting back on the right track. So this boy has been making an effort. His heart is trying to get back to the right path. We, his family had no idea any of this was taking place. However, my parents have said that they have noticed a slight change in Andy recently.

Our prayers have been working! Many, many prayers have been offered up for this boy for many moths now. To the natural eye, no changes have happened. However, in the spiritual realm a major war has been taking place and the evidence of that war is starting to show. There is and has always been a divine calling on Andy’s life. I was talking to my dad a few weeks ago and he asked me if I knew why they named him Timothy Andrew. I said no. Dad said that he was named Timothy Andrew because he was going to be the preacher in the family. With everything that has taken place, Satan is working over time to destroy this man of God. However, the harder Satan works, the more powerful his testimony will be!
