We are God’s Testimony

We are God’s Testimony

Before the pandemic I used to attend a local Women’s Conference as a participant. But one year, God moved me to set up a vendor table, and I am so glad that I did. 

As you know from my previous posts...then again, maybe you don’t. My book has the same title as this blog, “Let My Life Be A Testimony.” The women who stopped by my table that day to talk to me about my book, began to share their testimonies, which just confirmed that I was doing the right thing.

Their stories ranged from being healed from cancer to being examples of faith for their children. Our stories….our testimonies are so important right now. The people that we influence need to know that we understand what they are going through because we have been there. I believe God is calling us to a higher work. One that will cause us to move out from that comfortable place. We are going to have to represent Him in the earth in a way that we never have before.

God has been preparing many of us. By shaping us and growing us to go outside of the church walls to minister to His people (and we don’t have to wear a collar to do it either). All we have to do is be willing to be used by God, and allow God to do what needs to be done. 

Most of us won’t think we’re up to the challenge, but God does, and He needs us to step up to the plate. We are in a battle, and the enemy is counting on us to be so distracted that we miss God. But don’t worry if you feel unequipped for the assignment, 2 Chronicles 20:15 says, “Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s.” 

So stay close to Him in this season. Listen for His voice and know that we never walk alone. He is always there to lead us and guide us.

Until next time….

Be blessed

Ok, so we have had to learn to do things differently these days. One of the things that has changed is the way we communicate with one another. Online meetings, hook-ups, conferences, family get-togethers, are all the newest way to stay in touch. But for the most part we are still spending a lot more time alone. Thinking about that made me realize that this is the perfect time to learn some new things. A time for all of us to take advantage of the opportunity to socialize with people we have never even met, or may never meet in person, and yet now, have so much in common with.

I have to admit, it is an exciting time. Maybe because with all of the things going on in the world I am finding that I can no longer afford to be a procrastinator (I know I’m not the only one). Things we used to put off for another day, really have a different meaning right now. I mean, I always knew that tomorrow was not promised, but that hits differently today. One of the problems for me has always been that I think on things way too long. I usually think about it until it gets so big that I just give up, and basically talk myself out of it. I’m really kind of tired of doing that though. 

I think for the next few weeks, I’m going to do something every day that gets me closer to the purpose God has for me. I know there are things God is calling me to, but I have not been able to get past my own thinking. The end of the year is the perfect time to re-evaluate, strategize, and plan for the new year. Better is coming.

So, I am challenging you to join me, and step out on faith. Whatever that thing is that God has placed way down deep inside of you…that thing you are afraid to even tell anyone about–do it. Don’t hold back any longer. It’s time. God is calling you to take that first step…

Will you?

Until next time…

Be blessed!
