Testimony

I'm giving my testimony tonight. I'm excited, but I'm a little bit nervous. Up until recently I haven't been able to bring myself to really talk about my story. I haven't ever told it to more than one person at a time. I know that they're not my words... they're His. He's the one that wrote my story, and I'm just delivering the message. I'm just the proof of what God is capable of doing... of bringing someone so far down the wrong path - someone so depressed and lost, and then showing me the Light. Showing me that there are people who care, showing me the body of Christ as a way of relishing His love on me and making it plainly evident... showing me that He is real, and there, and wanting to purue me and love me as His very own child...

I'm hoping that the nerves won't get the best of me, and that I will be able to completely rely on God for this one so that the words aren't my own. I hope I won't cry in front of them. I don't want to. I haven't been this vulnerable in a long time.
