testimony

a certain sister asked me to share my testimony for Easter on my blog and, though, since I received the e-mail I have been writing and re-writing, I have yet to be able to put it all down in to words. I feel like my story has several parts and several major lessons. So while I write away what might be a several post long testimony let me share this with you on this Easter season.

God took me as a broken sinner (Rom 3:23) and cleansed me of my sin on his rugged cross. And though I don't deserve it, he loved me (Rom 5:8), and changed my life and is continuing to change my character. This God has been with me through all of my hurts and pains and though I pridefully want to stand on my own and do it my way, my God has exquisite plans that when I focus on them , they transform my being.

Please know that you don't have to go through life running alone. Pleas know that though it's hard, you will make it through. But most of all, please know that you are loved beyond measure.

because He is great.

i never know what to write here anymore.
it all just seems too personal. too real. actually, just too personal.

but...here we are 3 months to the year anniversary of the official start of anoauxano as a blog, but true beginning of this year was may 18th. just 325 days ago. only 40 days until one year.

true to this year God wouldn't let me just chill and bask in what He's taught/is teaching me...there are convictions wizzing around me, through me, and in me constantly-especially as of late.

if you see me walking around lost in the clouds during these next 40 days, do not be surprised. i am stupified. i am stumped. my jaw is on the floor. i don't even know where to begin.

but God, thank you for this:
"Look at the nations and watch--and be utterly amazed. For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told."- Habakkuk 1:5

One of my favorite verses, but right now I hold on to the fact that I don't have to look far. What He's doing I can't believe, even as He's telling me, but it is not because I am weak- it's because He is great.
