A Song of Redemption

 A Thanksgiving of PRAISE

Welcomes:

As a Conservative Christian woman, wife to a wonderful godly man (who also happens to be a minister), mother of two {so far}, homemaker, and Christian blogger, many would look at me as if ‘I don’t understand’, or ‘I’ve never been there’.
But I do and I have.


I too have lived a life enslaved to sin.  I too did things both in secret and in the open for the world to see that I am terribly ashamed of.  I too still carry the scars that sin dealt me.
But I’ve been redeemed!  A life that was once marred has been washed clean and now I can tell my redemption story and offer hope to a hopeless generation.


I was 19 when I got saved.  All my teenage years were spent in sin, in the public school system, in rebellion, and without much thought of what the morrow might bring.
I was the last one you would picture being married to the preacher.  I was the one in need of a Saviour.  
I was the last one you would see proclaiming her love for Jesus Christ, but He so loved me and gave Himself for me that I want nothing less than to tell it abroad.


The truth is, I’m still in need of a Saviour and His grace, love, and mercy every day.  Although I’ve been redeemed, I am not exempt from falling into the snares of the enemy.
The Lord gave me a fresh start after I accepted Him as my Saviour.  He didn’t hand everything to me, nor did He place things in my lap right away.  I had to work towards things and grow in my relationship with Him.  He is still teaching me and preparing me for the work that He has for me to do.
I am so thankful that He redeemed me when He did and gave me a new song!  He has blessed me with an amazing husband, whom I am so unworthy of, and the two most beautiful children in the world.
There is hope for the broken!  God likes to work in broken situations to bring glory to His name.
I’m thankful I’m still allowing Him to work on me.
