Exactly a month ago, my dearest old friend and sister-in-christ, chose to take a step of faith and obedience to follow Jesus in water baptism.
I had the privilege of witnessing the entire event. Even took a video of her testimony (which I will not show because she would kill me if i did…) Her written testimony was also unexpectedly published in the church magazine, together with her photo of her and Rosco (her boisterous pet dog)… Man, she felt so embarrassed…
I, on the other hand, thought her testimony was very heartfelt and honest and inspiring… But I can’t show that either… (she specifically warned me on this one.) In fact, her story of finding Christ still never fails to amaze me, no matter how many times I hear it or read about it.
- It was God who reached out to her.
- It was God who drew her to Him.
- It was God who taught her to love Him and follow Him
As I sat in the audience watching her, I felt nothing but joy! God did a great thing in her life, giving her a lot of strength and hope, and we’ve grown so much closer than we’d ever been before.
Congratulations Ling! I’m so glad that God gave me the privilege of being a part of your life! Love you so much!
