You are so strong girly. So, so, strong. I am not Christian, but I appreciate your testimony and see your strength in every word. And you know what? Every struggle just makes you stronger. It may feel at times that the world is against you, that things keep crashing down on your head, but know that in the end, it will only make you stronger. <br /><br />You are already a mighty warrior!Stellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03298497292652566114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048018311887818767.post-46305187010780947402010-10-02T09:26:15.415-04:002010-10-02T09:26:15.415-04:00I have read many devotionals these past few months...I have read many devotionals these past few months, even this past year. But this, my friend, was by far the very, very, very best.<br /><br />Beautifully written, Mal, I don't even know where to start. "Doctors say I shouldn't be here. But God said something different..." That stood out for me, God did say something different, and that's what matters the most. Your testimony reminds me of Gionna Jessen's, I just learned about her today. She shouldn't be here, according to what happened from the hands of humans, the same could be said about me as well... but GOD said something different. There has to be value and reason in that, you're absolutely right, beyond any shadow of a doubt.<br /><br />You want to make a difference... and I see that difference, I see it right now, in this God-breathed post, in your perspective... I see it, Mal, and it brings me to my knees. I see that light and that spirit ignite, and I see Him in the flame. It's breathtakingly beautiful.<br /><br /><br />Think of folks like us as olives, Mal... I know that sounds ridiculous... but as mere olives, we're not all that special. It's only through the crushing that we become like olive oil, which is far more precious.JDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05692603062067512190noreply@blogger.com
