~TESTIMONY TUESDAY~

So thankful to the Lord and for prayers.. Left the house this morning feeling aweful!! A friend prayed with me on the phone and I have felt better the rest of the day!! Thank You Lord!!!

Matthew 12:15b: A large crowd followed Him, and He healed {all} who were ill. {emphasis added :-)}

~Testimony Tuesday~

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!

Starting Next Week: "Testimony Tuesday!"

I have seen several blogs that do "Thankful Thursday"... I think that is a neat idea!

I was sharing with my mother-n-law different ways that the Lord shows up in my life and makes Himself known to me...

It does something when we testify about Him, and it builds my faith up when I share.. So, I thought that I would like to start "Testimony Tuesday" :-) I would just like to share a story each Tuesday about how the Lord has shown up in my life and let me know that He was right there, even in the times when I could not "feel" His presence...

I would love to hear other testimonies as well!!

Revelation 12:11a:

And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony
