... so yesterday, my friend, the director of the center in Cambridge asked me if I would consider giving my testimony at the Silent Auction and Dinner they are having as their main fundraiser in March.... there are supposed to be at least 200 people.... that's a lot...I said I would pray about it... honestly, it scares me... but then again, isn't that what He does... He keeps on stretching us.. calling us to step out in faith, never stay where we are comfortable....
has done this to me many times and I have had many sleepless nights, praying and praying and praying for His help... totally depending on Him, and He has never let me down..
so, I will do it I think, it is the right thing to do...
I will have to pray and figure out what He wants me to share ...
I have been forgiven for the abortion I had when I was 20 and because I walked for many, many years with the guilt of this, affecting huge decisions I made that had huge consequences... my heart is aching for those that are locked in the same prison... not knowing that God in His mercy forgives them even for this sin.... that there is freedom from guilt and that He, as in my case will use the wrong choice for His glory...
Isaiah 1:17-19 says:
Learn to do right; seek justice.
Defend the oppressed.
Take up the cause of the fatherless;
plead the case of the widow.
“Come now, let us settle the matter,”
says the LORD.
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow;
though they are red as crimson,
they shall be like wool.
If you are willing and obedient,
you will eat the good things of the land;
the passion I have for providing help and support for women finding themselves in a crisis situation like this, so that they might make a different choice... and my compassion for the ones that already made the bad one.. to extend the healing that Christ has to them.... that is what He is going to use for His glory... by His grace He will allow me to touch lives for His sake... what an amazing blessing that is...
so I think I will say yes... and He will be there for me... like He always is.... Love Him for ever and ever AMEN
