The ground beneath my feet was rocked this weekend.
3-solid days of prayer, worship, learning, fellowship, and faith.
I let go of my constant critical thoughts.
I released the heavy burdens from my past.
I forgave myself.
I am amazed.
6-months ago, I sat in the sanctuary for the first time,
attending the Encounter Testimony Service.
That was the service where I was saved.
Yesterday, I stood on stage with Daniel by my side,
my mom watching from the audience with proud eyes,
and gave my testimony at that very same Encounter service about how I was moved this weekend.
As I testified, I couldn't help but think,
what if my small little testimony helps someone?
Just one person?
As I go from here,
I'm ready. I'm ready to be lead.
I'm ready to serve.
I'm ready to be an amazing wife to Daniel (who also attended),
with a strong foundation built under our feet.
I am so thankful.
I am forever changed.
I am alive.

That is beautiful!
I am so glad it was a life-changing weekend for you. And, I am thankful that six months ago it changed you eternally.
It is amazing what Christ does with messy sinners.
I still have a tough time understanding that He is continually working on me, and that He doesn't just give up on me. But, nothing is impossible with Him.

I love that feeling of rejuvenation after a life-changing faith-filled event (too many dashes in that sentence, maybe?). Anyway, I'm more than positive your testimony helped or changed or made an impact on someone's life.
Even though we don't really know each other, I just wanted to say that it's super encouraging to read about your faith (and how you write so honestly!) here. Thanks!
Beautiful post! Isn't it amazing how God works these things!? I love when he does it. Just reminds us how big he really is. I'm so happy to hear 6 months ago you met Jesus :)
By the by I'm a new follower :)
