A Walking Story

So this Easter in our church, we are doing something called "Cardboard Testimonies."

This video is the gist of what it is:

Did I mention my husband and I organize and facilitate the music and creative aspects of the worship service at our church?

Well this is what we have decided to do for Easter this year. The way we see it, many people wander into church on either Christmas or Easter, or both. And what better way to show them who Jesus is through our own transformed lives and stories?

Everyone has a story just waiting to be told. I fully believe that God gives us all a story through our past hurts, present pain and future trials and also through all the wonderful things that happen. More times than not, the things we think are difficult prove to bless us beyond our belief.

So all this to say...I sent out an inquiry to see who would like to participate, and the 2-line testimonies are flooding in. And as they flood in, the tears flow! The reality is that you can never know someone's story until you ask in some way. These stories bring me to my knees in awe of what God can do when we relinquish our lives to Him.

He is good. He is faithful.

Hearing these stories only makes me see the potential for lives to truly be changed when people come and see these testimonies on a simple piece of cardboard.

Praise God and all glory to Him for the outcome and the journey!
