His story not mine
I have had this nagging feeling that I had something to say, but I haven't exactly been able to put it into words. Ever since reading about it in a book I haven't been able to get this out of my head. It talks about not letting satan steal your story. I had never thought before about how our whole life, our whole story is not really ours. It's Gods story and it has the power to tell people so much about God. Our whole life story is our testimony to how great God is. I have never thought of myself as having a particularly powerful testimony story. I have never seen myself as having anything to say that would help anyone else. It got me to thinking when it said that our hard times can be what leads someone else to God. When someone sees how we rely on God when things are tough and how He takes care of us when we think we cant handle any more it can point others straight to God. I don't have the most radical testimony it wasn't one of those stories that you read about and to me that made it feel less special in some ways. I have come to realize that sometimes the biggest can come from just the small moments. Reading about another woman's ability to rely on God in the hard moments of parenting speaks to my heart in a soft and special way. In the past I have felt so self conscious about sharing my testimony because I didn't feel like it was special enough. I didn't feel like it was enough of a story to matter. And shame on me for that. To not think that the story that God gave me was special enough to need to tell, thats on me. This is the story that God gave me and its not about me. It's all about God and how He is working in my life to further His glory, not mine. God has given me this story and it is my job to tell it. Now lets see if I can learn to live up to that.
