Amaizing love

Today was a quite the day at Vintage for me. It was the first time i gave my testimony to the church. It was a video testimony so it was a little less nerve racking then to have to speak it in person. But it carried with it all of the same emotions as I walked to light the advent candles. I almost broke into tears as i lit the candles representing hope, joy, and love.

It's amaizing to think that God sent his only son so that i could know what love is. That long before i was born He was carefully orchastrating my salvation story. It was good to hear the many people who were touched by God's story in my life. And as people thanked me for being brave and sharing something so personal and real, all i could really say is that it was all God. I had nothing to do with my testimony..it was God that did all of that hard work.

As i left i went into the lobby, sat down, and I just bawled. I cried so hard and not just because i was missing the dear woman who loved me but because i was so relieved that God has kept his promise to me all of these years. I wept because God still loves me...and he is still so faithful to me.

As i was crying J.T came out and she just hugged me..and i told her that sometimes God's love still just overwhelms me. It comes to me in waves and I weep because God's love really did save my life. All of it.. and not just some of it.

So now i can't help but quote one of my favorite songs

"Amaizing love, how can it be that you my king died for me.
Amaizing love, i know it's true and it's my joy to honor you..in all i do.
I honor you"
