My God Is Great


My God is so great!! Yesterday I gave my testimony...and He was in it I can say with no doubt. He gave me clarity of thought, peace, joy, and He calmed my nerves...and He also gave me words to say that blessed the girls' hearts. Afterwards, one girl told me that "it was just awesome!"
I'm just so thankful that the Lord used me to encourage some people...praise the Lord! HE IS SO GOOD!!

Giving My Testimony


Well my testimony is officially in two days...and I think the Lord has finally shown me what to speak about. It will still have the theme of living for God now...because He is coming back soon but it is also going to intertwine how our Christian walk won't always be easy. How Satan attacks you sometimes for making decisions for the Lord, and basically how he is totally and wholly against you and God your father.
I also plan to encourage them to not live carelessly and take their precious time thinking that "when they get older, THEN they can serve God"...because you just loose time using that strategy and you may be too late.
My thoughts are coming together and I really think this is what the Lord is leading me to hit home with. If you're a believer in Jesus, I ask you to pray for me. Pray that the Lord would use me in the girls lives and that the Lord would just speak through me. And also that God would calm my nerves. It's never easy getting up in front of almost 80 girls, and giving them your testimony. It's certainly getting out of your comfort zone sometimes, but it's what the Lord wants me to do...AND I'M GOING TO DO IT NO MATTER WHAT. :)

"Well Done Thou Good And Faithful Servant!"


Tomorrow my older sister is giving her testimony in front of about 80 girls...talk about nerve-wrecking! I'm praying that the Lord will lead her in what to say. And also that the Lord will use her words to encourage the girls listening. She's done this before, so I have great confidence that she'll do a wonderful job!
Next week is my time to give a testimony...and I still don't know for sure what I'm going to be talking about. The thought that keeps running in my head is the theme on doing as much as you can for the Lord...because time is short. Jesus Christ is coming back very soon! It's seems that this year especially I've been more focused on using my talents for the Lord...mainly singing and playing the piano at my church and other places we are invited. I've suddenly felt this urge to do MORE AND MORE for the Lord, because as I said...I don't have a lot of time! It's either me going to heaven soon or Jesus Christ coming back! Time is short. I strongly encourage you to stop waiting to use your talents for God if you are...use them now! Use them at your church, bible study, or maybe even at work - there are so many possibilities! But time is running out...when you stand in front of Christ, giving Him an accout of your life...will you feel ashamed or will you feel like you did the best you could possibly do for Him? I hope and pray that the Lord will be able to say to you..."Well done thou good and faithful servant. Enter thou into the joy of the Lord!"
