This morning I woke up thinking about my blog. I haven’t actually thought about my blog in ages. I love the memories and the moments it has captured. I am thankful for all forms of social media that allow me to share the things that God puts on my heart. Maybe one day I will do better about blogging, but for now I am just happy to know these thoughts are here for me to re-live and hopefully they have touched someone else along the way.
Last week I talked to the youth about their witness, their testimony. The woman at the well showed us how significant our testimony is if we are willing to share it!
“From that city many of the Samaritans believed in Him because of the word of the woman who testified, “He told me all the things that I have done.”” (John 4:39)
She wasn’t scared of her story, and because she shared many believed. I remember when my testimony used to scare me. I worried what people would think of me, how they might judge me, but over time I began to see that my story had purpose, even the really ugly parts. There were people out there that needed to hear my testimony, just like there are people out there that need to hear yours!
God is incredible, the way He cares for us is amazing. I love that He uses it all, nothing is gone to waste. That huge mistake, He can redeem it. That broke piece, He can repair it and make it new. That pain and struggle, He won’t waste it and He won’t leave you. I hope I am never afraid to share my story, and I hope you will too. When God get’s a hold of you and you start walking in obedience after Him He will use it all, the good, the bad, and the ugly!
“And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” (Romans 8:28)
