Lord, today I thank you for my transformed mind and life. Thank you for undeserved grace and mercy. I am ever grateful that you O God knows my heart and deepest need.
I am a living testimony that God can and will revive what is dead. My story:
I prayed for God to change a situation that I was facing and God did not. I felt that God had let me down. I thought being saved meant that I would only experience good. I had already experienced sad and bad times. How could God love me and allow my life to be shattered into a million pieces. Seven years later I walked away from the Church. I was a broken person with all the things that I had ever wished for but I was dead inside. I walked a journey of brokenness and despair for twenty years trying to fix me. I did not know then that God was giving me freedom to become more than I could ever imagine myself to be.
My journey of brokenness ended in 2006, I came to Jesus crying out for help. I wasn't turned away but was welcomed with opened arms of love. A year later I heard tell your story, my reply was; I am ashamed. God said tell your story, a few months later A Work in Progress was birthed.
Why am I sharing this on social media? I sharing because someone needs to read my story and see that they're not the only one facing life changing issues. That God has a plan for your life greater than you can imagine. Trials and tests are a part of everyone's life and those who have experienced and survived are to share and encourage others. Being open and transparent is frightening, but not as frightening as being disobedient. I feared sharing even a tiny bit of my journey to wholeness, but I decided today to no longer be bound. God has not given me a spirit of fear; but one of love and a sound mind.
I encourage each of you today to trust God’s plan for your life. The journey will be challenging but your reward will be worth it. Blessings and peace to you all 🙏
