I see now that it never stuck. But do know how much I enjoyed this. The idea that the same God who looked down upon His creation and proclaimed, "it is good." Continues to speak those words today.

Through my journey of chronic illness and anxiety, the Devil has often tried to convince me that there's nothing but darkness. He screams that lie into my head all the time. BUT GOD IS BIGGER. In fact, HE IS BIGGEST. His light cannot and will not be extinguished.

When I served on the altar helping lead others to Christ, I told everyone that I lead in the Sinner's Prayer, "You know Jesus saw you on that Cross 2,000 years ago. He saw everything about you, including this day when you would bow your head and accept His gift of life that he bought with His blood." I miss serving on the altar at our church, but after three years and nearly 150 people, I felt it was time to let others enjoy the incredible blessings I had received. Thank you for bringing these memories back to me in your post.Mary Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05364984522554522146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24687432.post-70934739919947440632015-04-03T13:12:04.594-07:002015-04-03T13:12:04.594-07:00Thanks Liz!
