Let me tell You about what MY Jesus did for me!

“My story is filled with bad choices, broken pieces and a lot of hurt. It’s also filled with a major comeback, freedom in my life, peace in my soul and a Savior that restored everything.” – Unknown

For those who follow my page, The Upward Way on Facebook and Instagram, I wrote this several nights ago. The Lord laid this on my heart so deeply that I wanted to share with this audience as well. I know many of you don’t do social media so I wanted to make sure it got out to as many as I could get it out to because I feel like God has a purpose behind laying it on my heart so deeply.

If this isn’t the blueprint of a sinner’s testimony in a bubble, I don’t know what it is. Oh, the “happenings” that “happened” just between those pieces of times in my life when Jesus scooped up a broken me, saved me, changed me COMPLETELY into someone I would never dream I’d become but, let me tell you, I’m so proud of HER. Because the old her was weak, a nobody and wandered…aimlessly for so long until God got ahold of my heart and life.

You see, God saw a purpose where she saw nothing but failure because that’s what those around her made her feel like she was. (Except for her AMAZING family who always kept her rooted in her faith, praise God!)

Let me stop right here. Be SO thankful if you have THAT kind of support system who loves Jesus that constantly tells you to not give up, keep going and that the enemy is attacking you because you are doing God’s work. Surround yourself with more of THOSE people and LESS of the others. Trust me, it MATTERS!!

Any who, morale of the story is, we were all given a comeback story. It is nothing to be ashamed of. If someone tries to make you feel guilty or bring it up in a negative way, see it for what it is and say, “Let me tell you ‘bout my Jesus. He made a way where there was NO way…now look at me now.”

Your testimony is yours. OWN IT.
