Testify
Did you ever attend a church that had “Testimonies Services”? Perhaps you still do. Still this type of fellowship is few and far between. How I love to hear testimonies of God’s loving grace! Sitting still is not one of my better suites but I could sit for hours, upon hours listening to, reading about and telling of God’s love for His daughters.
Oh, I remember testimony time...growing up in a small church, the adults would either go from row to row giving a testimony...or they would "pop up" randomly as they felt led to testify...
My life testimony is on my blog...but in the last 2 years, I can testify that God has brought me through a fire intended to burn off the dross of self reliance...
I always thought I should and could fix situations and people to make things work better...boy, was I wrong in that...the Lord brought me to the place where I realized He needed to be given total control of ALL aspects of my life...and not just the ones I WANTED to hand over...
So thankful for His loving mercy and patience with me...God is so good!
I love testimonies. They inspire me and speak of God's redeeming power. Revelation 12:11.
Thanks for your sweet comments on my blog lately. I've been busy with family and haven't had the time to peek in on others. But I SO appreciate your kindness.
Linda - sorry I missed linking with you this week. It's been one of those days, but now I'm home, relaxing and visiting my favorite blogs.
Yesterday at church, we had a different kind of service. There was no sermon, just praise and worship music, a time of testimony, and then the Lord's supper.
Although I love hearing our pastor bring the message each week, it's nice to have a service like yesterday once in a while. Plus, it gave our pastor time to sit back and be fed.
Who am I? I am a princess. For my Father is the King of kings and Lord of lords. This statement is of great importance because I was not always a princess. Once I was simply a lost soul dwelling in a pit. Then one day all things in my life changed. My Father, God reached down and lifted me from the pit giving me new life. In Him, I have found peace, love and hope. This is my greatest role by far for in it I find joy to be all the titles that follow me. Finish reading about me in my pages listed above.
