I recently stood in front of my church congregation and testified. I did it because God moved me to do it. I honestly felt like He wanted me to share my story of loss, struggle and how my family and I were able to overcome it all with God. Losing out daughter has to be the hardest moment we have ever had to endure. But with His grace, we have been able to move ahead and find a purpose for it all.
So in preparation for my testimony, I wrote a nice little speech and thought that by reading it off the paper and sharing what I thought were important facts and tidbits, His will would be done. Boy, did He have other plans! I got up in front of my congregation and didn't look at that pre-written speech once. Yet, the words seemed to just flow naturally out of me. After it was done, I had inspired others with my testimony, and it was then that I realized that His will had been done, according to His plan and not mine.
And now after all of it, I know He is not done with me. He has bigger plans for me than I can even imagine. He wants me to lead a sermon one day. I don't know how I will be able to do it, but He will make sure it's done His way. After all, I am just the messenger sharing His message.
God bless you all. Happy October!
