Bragging

I have to brag on my sis and her husband. As some of you know, Matt Phillips has had a long road of addiction, etc in the past. He has been sober over 2 years now and to see God work in his and so many other's lives is absolutely amazing. This past Sunday at church, he stood up at the Baptism pool w/ a guy that works w/ him and his partner Brad. His name was Edward and he got Baptised. He didn't have anyone there to support him except his nephew for whatever reason. But to see Matt P stand up there and know he has witnessed to this man is so awesome. God is using Matt P to turn others to Him and it makes me so proud. He is using his addiction and hard times to witness to others and show them through his life what CAN happen if/when you turn your life around and give it to Christ. I cried like a baby Sunday watching that Baptism. Matt P is a presence and when he walks in a room, you look. When he talks, you listen. He is just that kind of person. And I truly believe to witness to someone lost in whatever their tribulation is by a Christian that has never been there, won't do much good. But to witness to that person on a day to day basis and for that person to see you live it, and know you have been there, done that will touch them and do wonders. God brought Matt and Jenn up from the depths and look where they are now!!!! HE continues to amaze me over and over again w/ what this family can do. I am proud of you Matt and Jenn. God bless and keep up the good work!!!!
