Braggin' on God

I've decided the best feeling ever is being able to spend a few hours braggin' on God, telling people about all the wonderful things He has done. I got the chance to do that tonight.

I wasn't so sure about going to this Bible study with David again. Although I really enjoyed it last time, I still didn't know many people and it is a BIG group, which kind of intimidates me.

But a couple of times during the lesson I had thoughts that I wasn't too insecure to share. The whole time I was silently praying, "God, give me the chance to tell someone about what You have been doing in my life."

And God answered that prayer.

When we broke into groups to pray, I ended up with three girls: Alivia, Nichole, and Heather. We were all sitting down to get ready to share prayer requests and I suggested we start by talking about what God has done in our lives recently, since I have recently learned that when you start by talking about all of the good, it helps to keep your prayer requests in perspective (along with the rest of your life).

We spent over an hour talking. I got a chance to share all about what God has been doing in my life, and it felt AMAZING!! The best part is, I could feel that burning in me and I knew that parts of what I was saying really meant something to these girls. God has given me a powerful testimony, and it feels so great to be able to use it!

God is incrasing my faith daily, and my outlook on life has changed so much this past few weeks! One of the girls (I think it was Nichole, but I'm not sure) mentioned that I was so positive about everything, and I told her that I wasn't like this some time ago, and it's true. And now, when I pause and really think about it, God has changed my attitude towards everything so much. This isn't just a happy face I put on so people don't ask me questions. I am truly happy!

Praise God! He heals our physical, spiritual, and emotional wounds! What can I do but praise Him?
