My Amazing Testimony

Standing By Faith Day By Day!

December 10, 2011 By Sarah @ Stand By Faith Leave a Comment

I've been sharing my amazing testimony lately so I thought this would be an appropriate time to share how I walk by faith on a day to day basis. As we all know some days are easier, and some days are very difficult. Here are some of the "treasures" God has taught me on my journey of faith ... 1. BELIEVE! Luke 17:19 "And he (Jesus) said unto them. Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole" You MUST believe that God can do it! Questioning whether he can, doubting if he will, saying that he won't will stop God from doing it! James 1:6-8 "But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like the wave of the sea … [Read more...]

My Testimony – Part 8 – An Adoption Story … Well Sort Of!

December 9, 2011 By Sarah @ Stand By Faith Leave a Comment

My testimony is very long so I am posting it in several parts. Don't forget to read: Part 1 - God Calls A Child! Part 2 - A Path Of Sin! Part 3 - Redemption - God's Amazing Grace! Part 4 - Angel's Among Us! Part 5 - 300 Days And Counting! Part 6 - Sometimes You Just Have To Laugh! Part 7 - My Darkest Days ... And God's Forgiveness! Psalms 22:19 "But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me." During my sickness all I could think about was having a child. Children are such a blessing, and somehow in my crazy mind I convinced myself that if I had a child, that would mean I was … [Read more...]

My Testimony – Part 7 – My Darkest Days … And God’s Forgiveness!

christ holding man with hammer forgiveness from sin

My Testimony is very long so I'm dividing it into parts. Don't forget to read: Part 1 - God Calls A Child! Part 2 - A Path Of Sin! Part 3 - Redemption - God's Amazing Grace! Part 4 - Angel's Among Us! Part 5 - 300 Days And Counting! Part 6 - Sometimes You Just Have To Laugh! This part is probably one of the hardest parts of my life to share. Mostly pride and shame are the reasons. But I believe it may help someone else and so I am willing to share it. I did not always serve Jesus. I grew up believing in Him, and thought that was enough. I was a servant to myself. I did whatever I wanted, and made many bad decisions. The guilt of … [Read more...]

My Testimony – Part 6 – Sometimes You Just Have To Laugh

December 8, 2011 By Sarah @ Stand By Faith Leave a Comment

My testimony is very long so I am posting it in several parts. Don't forget to read: Part 1 - God Calls A Child Part 2 - A Path Of Sin! Part 3 - Redemption - God's Amazing Grace! Part 4 - Angels Among Us! Part 5 - 300 Days And Counting! "Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole." Matthew 9:22 I used to remember every statistic and every detail, but thankfully time has a way of making you forget the awfulness that happens. So I will sum it up as best as I can. I spent almost an entire year in Boston, as previously stated. Then 5 more years going back and forth every month. I still weighed only 78 lbs. I just … [Read more...]

My Testimony – Part 5 – 300 Days And Counting!

August 25, 2011 By Sarah @ Stand By Faith Leave a Comment

My Testimony is very long so I am sharing it in several parts. Be sure to read ... Part 1 - God Calls A Child Part 2 - A Path Of Sin! Part 3 - Redemption - God's Amazing Grace! Part 4 - Angels Among Us! I was so excited about seeing angels and Jesus that I never stopped thinking about it or talking about it. Those moments are what kept me going for a long time. The surgery I had was to remove all my large intestines, and my appendix, and create a new rectum with small intestines, called a J-pouch. I was only going to have the ileostomy bag for 6-8 weeks while the pouch healed then it would be reversed. I didn't like the bag but since it … [Read more...]

August 23, 2011 By Sarah @ Stand By Faith Leave a Comment

My testimony is very long so I have divided it into chapters! Don't forget to read Part 1 and Part 2! "Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call." Acts 2:38+39 Dustin & Sarah's engagement picture! I knew Dustin from High School. I don't know how or why he showed up at my house one day shortly after I returned from College, except that it was divine intervention! At … [Read more...]

My Testimony – Part 2 – A Path Of Sin!

August 23, 2011 By Sarah @ Stand By Faith Leave a Comment

I'm writing my testimony in parts because it is so long. Don't forget to read Part 1 first! "But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway." 1 Corinthians 9:27 I would love to be able to say that I have always been obedient to God's word and followed his commandments faithfully. But that is simply not the case. Sarah age 17. I became complacent in my relationship with Jesus Christ. I was not guarded with my faith and I allowed the devil to influence my life. I suddenly had new "friends". I began sneaking out and … [Read more...]
