Testimonial Tuesday

I really do like blogging...I've always enjoyed putting my thoughts on paper, I'm more used to ink, but typing is growing on me. I have learned so much and been motivated and challenged by others blogs so I hope that for someone this will be encouraging. Maybe a topic for each day would keep me more focused on my blog...we'll try it and see, but there is no condemnation, right!? I have been learning so very much in the James study that I'm currently doing on wed nights with one of the most beautiful group of Jesus followers you ever did see. They are so authentic and that is rare and something I've longed for. I'm forever grateful. I praise the Lord for how he is teaching me and changing me! He has reaffirmed to me my calling through this study and I've found that its even in my name. I'm so thankful that He calls us by name, aren't you? He knows our name, calls us by it, and hears us!...when we're hurting, happy, searching or all of the above! He's calling us all by name, and it begins by calling us to the cross. I'm so humbly grateful! The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor;[a] he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound;[b] 2 to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn; 3 to grant to those who mourn in Zion— to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit; that they may be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he may be glorified.[c] Isaiah 61:1-3
