Return To The King ~ Guest Post!

I’ve recently had the priviledge to meet a wonderful sister in the Lord named Amber. Today I’m pleased to have her guest post and share her testimony of God’s grace and redeeming power! Amber writes …

Today I woke up this morning I was reading the bible and just thinking about the Lord & he brought to my mind where all he has brought me from.  Some may know my testimony or heard me tell it but for those of you who dont I wanted to share it with you.

Most know I was raised in church my whole life, I always knew the way God wanted me to live I just always pushed it aside and thought to myself when I get older Ill live right, but as we all know you cant put a time frame on God.  I am so thankful for my mama who loved the Lord & served him for a long time.  She always tried to put God first no matter what others thought of her & what stood in her way. I am thankful for that,  she instilled alot of things in me that I will never forget.

On June 24, 2008 I lost my mama in a tragedy, it was the hardest thing I have ever went through. I could not understand why? At that time I was not serving the Lord.  I had so many emotions; sad, hurt, angry, disbelief, why?? The devil TRIED to turn my heart into stone & I guess I had every right to.  After that I was so unstable as many of you know. I didnt know whether I was coming or going. My life started going down hill.

I was taking roads I said I would never take & doing things I would said I would never do.  From alcohol to smoking to drugs. I just kept getting more deeper and deeper into things. I was trying to feel a void in my heart with all those things & yes for a short amount of time it would get your mind off things but that was it. When reality hit again you was back to square one except a little lower this time.

At this point my life seemed hopeless, so dark & I had know idea what was going to happen with my life.  So many times the Lord had his hand on me when no doubt I didnt even know it or deserve it!  The Lord started dealing with me thankfully, he had mercy on me & gave me another chance. Im so thankful I made the RIGHT decision and turned my life around for the better.

On September 12, 2010 I got saved & I know I did. The Lord delivered me from so many things & ONLY the Lord could have done that.  Not only did he save me , deliver me, GIVE ME PEACE & FILL A VOID IN MY HEART, but he HEALED my marriage.

So many people say the Lord doesnt do miracles anymore that its a thing of the past well I am a walking miracle  I could have been dead lost without the Lord but he had mercy on me & saved my soul and put my life back together & I owe him my life.  Thank you Jesus!!
