I remember being young - teenager time of life - and hearing people at different functions or at church tell their testimony. I would sit in awe at the things they had been through; the hard times, the pain, the torture, and then the revelations times and the change to the good and the better. I recall always walking away thinking "God, my life is so dull!" I wished I had a testimony to move someone towards salvation or towards reexamining their life or just bringing hope but I always saw my life as dull. Nothing major had happened to me at that point so what was their to really talk about?
I sit here ten years later and WISH my life were still as simple and "dull."
I've been faced with so many challenges, obstacles, heartaches, disappointments - and with each one I've managed to get through and it's all been thanks to the Grace of God! It has been my belief in Him that the hard times have not stayed rocky and that level ground has been found for me to walk once again.
I'm not here to share my testimony - not yet anyway - but I am here to recall the time when I wished THIS life that I am currently living into existence. I hope I have made the seventeen year old Tess proud.
"Submit to God and be at peace with him; in this way prosperity will come to you." Job 22:21
