I wanted to start sharing the different ways the Lord has made Himself known to me and share my testimonies... I love all of them, but I will start with this one!
A couple days after Christmas we went to Texas to visit family and friends. One morning I woke up (at Shannon's house) with Jeremiah 33:3 in my brain. I did not know what it said... It says: Call upon Me, and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things you do not know... I thought that was really cool!
Fastforward to April 2008. Shannon came in to visit for a week and we decided to start out our visit in Chicago.. So, we went to Chicago the day after she got here.. We were all excited, and then I got a phone call on the way there that really confused and upset me. It made me question some things... I literally questioned the Lord about something that He had delivered me from, and I could not imagine that He was saying that it was ok now.. Besides, it is part of my testimony and what HE has done.. When we first drove into Chicago there was this building that someone had painted scripture real big on. It said: For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23..
Not that I needed a sign, but that totally confirmed what I already knew in my heart... PLUS 6-23 is the day that the Lord delivered me...
Unfortunately, I thought about this phone conversation the whole time and was very sad and scared about what might be up ahead on our path in life, in my home...
I did not sleep well and I woke up early the next morning and went in to take a bath and cry, I did not want Shannon to hear me... I was crying out to the Lord to please speak to me, and that I needed some answers..
We left later that morning and were headed back to Indiana..
In all the places in the world we could have been, this car pulls up right next to us...

Shannon and I looked at each other because we could not believe it! She said: Well, there is your answer girl...
God, does not HAVE TO do what HE does, but HE still does sometimes... Sometimes, HE is so right in your face... Did everything just get fixed right then? No, but He was letting me know that HE was right there and KNOWS everything that is going on and for me to call upon HIM...
I am so excited about this, and I can't wait until next Tuesday...
PLEASE, share your testimonies of how the Lord makes Himself known to you... I would love to hear it!
What a wonderful testimony Tracy. Thank you for sharing. It brought tears to my eyes. I will try to prepare one for next week. Do you plan to add a Mr Linky so everyone can read each others testimonies? This is a great idea. I would be glad to help you if you don't know how to do the Mr Linky but it's really easy.
ReplyDeleteEdie: I left a comment on your page, but just incase you don't get it I will leave one here.. I do not know how to do Mr. Linky, so I would love your help.. Thank you so much for offering..
