Testimony Corner
A few years ago, I came to WaterStone Church devasted by a broken marriage in which I lost
my husband ,my church family, and my home. I saw little hope in ever being happy again. I had never lived where I was my only means of support. I had never had to live with someone else. I didn't know how I would ever make it on my own and certainly felt I'd never have a home of my own again.
You welcomed me with open arms, no questions asked, and immediately let me begin to serve. You supported me with your prayers and kindness. Sue and Jerrel welcomed me in their home and supported me in every way.
Through everything, I have learned that my hope comes through loving and serving Jesus. He has taught me many things about making him my provider. I have learned that my total being depends on him. My favorite verse in the Bible tells me "He is able to bless me abundantly and exceedingly more than I could ever ask or think"(Eph. 3:20)
He has done just that. I have learned things that I never knew before about his grace and mercy. Things I may have never learned had I not been put in the situation I was in. Jesus wants us to depend on him. He wants us to know that in our weakness, he is strong. He is new every morning...so great is his faithfulness. I know that I have grown through my experience, and pray that I will continue to grow.
He has given me a home, a wonderful family, and wonderful friends. Blessings continuously flow. Monetarily I wasn't sure how I was going to make it, yet I knew He would provide, and He has provided over and over again in ways that are unexplainable except for His provision.
I've learned to depend on the One Who owns the stars. Sometimes I am amazed at the things He does, but I shouldn't be amazed. He is only doing what he promised he would do.
I won't say that I'm never lonely or that things from the past creep back into my life at times and cause pain, but I can say that through Christ I am whole and can face the future knowing He will be there. I can't see his plan for my life, but I know there is a plan if I will continue to trust in my Father. I'm His "little girl", and no one can ever take that away.
Thank You for allowing me to share this with you. Thank You for allowing me to serve the church. I love you all. I can truly say that WaterStone Church is a church that honors God by demonstating His love.
