His Hands at Work

My sister sent me to a blog of a woman named Melissa. She has experienced her share of pain and yet she still loves the Lord with all her heart, just like Taylor & Angie. I am amazed by these women. All three of them consistently lay their hearts out on the table for all to see. God is doing unbelievable things through them and I for one am incredibly thankful.

Melissa posted this video on her blog Stretch Marks. As I sat and watched, I just let the tears stream down my face. It is incredibly touching to see God's miracles, His hands at work.



If you truly think about what God has done for you, you could fill up a million pieces of cardboard. Every single one of us has more than 1 testimony to God.

And so, as I sit here and reflect, I wonder what will be written on my cardboard next week...next month...next year...5 years from now.

As of right now, allow me to share my heart and a few of my cardboard testimonies...

My dad died when I was four, how could God do this to me?
Getting to know my Father more everyday

Stupid mistakes as a teenager, should have been dead
Alive and safe living for Him

Abandoned by several "best friends"
He has never left my side

On the verge of calling it quits
He (Joey) found Christ and led me to HIM, been together for 8 1/2 years

Ache for a child to call my own
Graduating in 2009 as a teacher

First, thank you for the kind compliment. I am blessed by your friendship!

I saw this video a couple of weeks ago and cried through it as well. Our God is so good to take the hard and bad times and turn them into something used for His glory.

I am still praying for you!
