My Testimony: Breaking Free Part I

 

I’m not sure where you are today.

Are you hurting? Alone, lost, sad, disappointed, confused or overwhelmed?

I’ll never forget this specific night.  It was about 11 years ago, a beautiful summer night and I was surrounded by tons of people yet I had never felt so alone.   Later that evening as I sat outside by myself I started to cry.  Then it became one of those uncontrollable cries, I couldn’t stop crying.  Why did I have this huge sense of loneliness when I was surrounded by friends and family?  These are people I know, like and trust.

I looked up in the sky and just sobbed.   It was the longest night of my life. 

The next day, I woke up and went about my day pretending everything was fine.

Years later, I met a very special person.  That person invited me to his church.  I was very nervous going with him since I’d been away from the church for many years.  I thought I made way too many mistakes and church was a place for all the good people and not a place for a person like me (divorced woman).

I sheepishly accepted the invitation to church and slowly something started happening…

My eyes and ears opened up to a whole new world, I couldn’t wait to hear the messages each week.  I was thirsty for more!

Below is a short video clip that was presented at our powerful Easter service yesterday.

Take 3 minutes to watch this now, …part II coming soon!

Then watch the series titled 'Epic Fail'. 

Remember any time spent with God is never time wasted.

Stay healthy, stay well in mind, body and spirit!

I love you,

jill

2 Peter 3:9 (MSG)

 8-9Don't overlook the obvious here, friends. With God, one day is as good as a thousand years, a thousand years as a day. God isn't late with his promise as some measure lateness. He is restraining himself on account of you, holding back the End because he doesn't want anyone lost. He's giving everyone space and time to change.
