With the wife out of town this weekend, I have been looking for a spiritual and meaningful way to spend my time. Unfortunately, I have been unable to find many Christian events (outside of Sunday services, of course) going on this weekend, so I began to wonder what Jesus” plan is for me.
Then the angels of Google directed me to a guiding light of Jesus” word right here in Atlanta. Someone whose purpose on this Earth is to spread the Lord”s name and lead those like me into the grace and comfort of Jesus. The Lord is calling me to seek out this person and continue to grow my newfound spirituality.
Her name is Cortney Nicole Chatham, a former contestant for Miss Atlanta Christian:

Being a leader in high school is very difficult. not only are my peers being tempted with drugs, alcohol and sex, but they??re also being tempted with their faith. As I walk into the doors of Grayson High School every morning, I pray for teachers, family, friends and government leaders, but mostly, I pray that the Lord lead someone to me that needs me. Maybe someone who doesn??t know of the Lord. I pray that Christ lead me to someone that I need, someone who could encourage my walk of faith …
Life is so short and I don??t think people realize that sometimes. The gift of life can be taken away from a person in a heartbeat. I can??t even imagine how wonderful Heaven must be. The Bible says that angels are always singing and praising the Lord. Along with the angels, you can dance and sing. But there is
one thing you can??t do in Heaven… spread the Lord??s name to a non-believer. After all, everyone in Heaven is a believer of Christ. I??ve met many of my peers who have bee lost and have never known Jesus. I feel like my peers have also been greatly affected by my own relationship with Jesus Christ.
I was driving home with one of my friends one night last February. She knew who Jesus was, but she never really had a relationship with Him. She turned off her music and started crying. Not knowing what to do, I did my best to comfort her. When she pulled away, she said, “Nicole, thank you so much for leading me to church and thank you for leading me to Jesus. You??re an angel.” I will never forget that night, because not only did I save someone, but I also realized the true purpose that I had on earth. It was to spread the Lord??s name to all that will listen and I have my close relationship with Jesus Christ, my Savior, to thank for that.
Glory be to God!
Right here in my own backyard, a blessed messenger of Christ, praying for the Lord to send her someone in need!
I think spending time with this wonderful angel is just what my spirit needs this weekend.
