One of My Greatest Experiences with God was:
At the end of VBS Family Night this year when so many came forward to give their lives to Christ. After the morning decision time came and went with no decisions being made, I had wondered what God was up to. I know now that He had ordained the time that evening for many kids to put their trust in His Son, Jesus Christ. What a great reminder to me that I just need to trust Him, do what I know to do, and leave the results up to Him!
