Witnessing at work

This is late, but i had this written and simply forgot to post it, so I'll post it now. =D

We had asked God for a job for me in which I could be among unbelievers and be a witness. We knew that there might be complications or opposition to my sharing Jesus with others, but I can't not share. I have been careful, however. I made sure that my sharing never interfered with my work and made sure that it was at appropriate times. I didn't shove it toward anyone or any sort of preaching. I only spoke of God and Jesus in conversation and mostly spoke of Him in relation to my own relationship with Him, how good He is, what He is like, etc. Shortly before Christmas break, I was approached by my boss about my sharing my faith. It was put very nicely but the gist of it was still clear. Don't talk about Jesus. Now I find myself in the situation of how to proceed from here. I can't stop sharing about Jesus, for to remain silent is to condemn the children I work with and my co-workers. It is like Peter said to the Sanhedrin, "Judge for yourselves whether it is right in God's sight to obey you rather than God. For we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard." Amy and I are praying that God will protect me as I seek to remain faithful to Him and His gospel. I will be as careful as I can, but I cannot keep silent. God knows what lies ahead, so I commit it all to Him. Despite the now opposition, I have had numerous opportunities to speak of my wonderful Savior at work, both to kids and to my co-workers! =D Praise the Lord and I pray that He will bring to fruition the seeds that I've sown! =D
