My Testimony

Before reading any further, I ask that you would click on the link and watch the video that I have posted:)

Ever feel like God is calling you to do something but you don't really want to do it? Yeah. That has been me all week. Earlier this week God was calling me to share my testimony. I came up with about a hundred reasons why I shouldn't. Those reasons did not come from God, they came from satan. You see, satan does not want me to share my story with you. He does not want me to share the Gospel.

Every time this week when I told God "no"I heard this: "Courtney, I have done so much good in your life. I have brought you out of the most difficult year of your life. I have brought you out of darkness.Why would you want to keep all of that good stuff to yourself? Why are you not sharing with others what I have done in your life?! I have given you a voice, now use it!"

The word obedience has been running through my mind all week. Earlier this week in response to one of my facebook posts, someone left a simple comment that said "obedience". Here I am. Trying to be obedient to what The Lord wants.

Last week at church my Pastor shared this scripture with us. "But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have."--1Peter3:15

God has done some amazing things in my life. I would be doing you,this reader, a great dis-service if I just kept it all to myself. I am living proof that God can take a test and turn it into a testimony and a mess into a message.

In the midst of my pain, God is still good! Jesus is the anchor that holds!

 I have this hope 
As an anchor for my soul 
Through every storm 
I will hold to You 

With endless love 
All my fear is swept away 
In everything 
I will trust in You
