All I Need

For a few weeks now I have known I was going to be in front of our youth group sharing my testimony. I was honored to be asked, and I love our youth leadership team, but a part of me didn't want to drudge up the past. Yes, God has forgiven me of all that, but it's still the emotional part of thinking about those things. 
My one desire was that God would be the center. Jesus would be glorified. 

Monday night I lost my voice from cheering yelling so hard at little man's baseball game, so I have been nursing it for two days. Needless to say the office and the house have been quiet! :)  This morning when I called my friend she said "Don't talk to anyone else today!" So, I drank hot tea with lemon and honey and some coffee. By the time I got to church tonight I sounded a ton better, but still hoarse. 

Like a scene I could have never imagined, the Holy Spirit descended and I got through it. Wait. I didn't just get through it...I was present there. I shared what God has done in my life...the life He is choosing to live through me...and I owned it. Not in the sense of attitude, but in the sense of I owned the truth of the my choices and allowed Jesus to cleanse me of that. Freedom. 

He is all I need. He gives Life. He is Hope. He is it. 

Love,
Karen
