TESTIMONY TIME...

So, whatcha been doin'?

It has been a good bit, and there is a good reason. My computer has tapped. It has been submitted by something, and it has tapped out. Eventually it will be repaired or replaced, but for now it sits on my desk in shameful defeat.

As many of you know, HH has had a bit of an ordeal. Jesus has been so faithful to preserve his life and restore his health, and to God does all the glory go.
That's not all He has been about, though.
I have told you many times how my mind can go to the dark places of fear and worry quickly. Traumatic situations are a slippery slope for me. Lack of sleep, multiple days in the hospital, and long nights alone where I have nothing to do but think are like a perfect storm for me. Anxiety pounds against my mind and my heart with hurricane force.

Psalm 107:29 (NKJV)

He calms the storm,
So that its waves are still.

 

Amen and amen.

 

I can honestly say, during all of this, the Lord steadied me. He calmed the storm before it ever began to brew. People kept asking me is I was okay, and I could answer in complete truth, that yes I was.

Even when it became apparent something was wrong.

Even when they asked me to leave the room.

Even when I came back in to see my husband white as a sheet and writhing in pain.

Even when a young man was applying pressure to HH's major artery so he didn't bleed out.

Even when the words "blood transfusion" were thrown around.

 

Hebrews 6:19 (NKJV)

This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, ...

 

Wave after wave, Jesus Christ held firm, and held me firm in Him. You have to understand what a work of God this is. For the last 7 to 8 years, my mind has been my war zone. It has been brutal. Only a hand full know how brutal, and even in that, they don't know all of it. You can not count how many times I have spoken the words "sound mind" in the midst of the warfare. The Lord has been gracious, and many areas have been restored, but it still has hot spots. There are still fleshy uprisings.

 

THIS was a decisive victory.

 

A sign of the power of Christ over the enemy.

A manifestation of the hope I have in Him. 

A breaking of the chains and a setting free of the captive.

 

May this writing be a sign to you of the deliverance and redemption you can have in Him as well.

 

You choose.

 

To God be the Glory.
