Please Don't Fight These Hands That Are Holding You...

Yesterday, in Bible Study, we talked about quite a few things, had some great discussions, and even laughed a lot! When I walked away, there was one thing that stayed with me. My friend was talking about how she, much like myself, did not have a personal testimony of radical transformation. Whenever I am asked to share my testimony, I become unsettled, because I feel like I have nothing to offer... nothing that inspires! Well, she then went on to share how she learned that she does have a great testimony... one that clearly exhibits God's protection. She is absolutely right! I became a Christian at a young age, and looking back, I am very grateful for that. When I think about the environment I grew up in (i.e.. MY high school), the things I saw and experienced, some of the people I hung out with, etc., it becomes very clear that God was shielding me along the way. There is no other way I wouldn't have repeatedly fallen victim to my surroundings! By no means am I anywhere near the person I strive to be, but God has certainly helped me jump over some of the hurdles along the way. So, while my story may be short and simple, it is a great testimony to our Daddy's protection!
