Emphasis Preaching Journal

Does God go back before we are born to make us his servant? My mother prayed that I would be a pastor and a missionary before I was born! I didn't get the message until I was about thirty! When I was ordained, my mom said to the lady next to her, "This is what I have prayed for all my life!" They were killed in an accident on the way home from my ordination! Was that the Lord's timing? It took over forty more years before the second part of her prayer was answered and I became a missionary. The Lord's timing is beyond our understanding!
