Shelia told her she wanted to hear the long story, but give it to her in 5 minutes. In her book, she says, "I have found that this exercise effectively reveals what we consider the most significant moments in our lives."
I decided to do that. What would be my story in 5 minutes?
Of course the main thing I thought of was my sin. That was a defining moment in my life. Changed my whole world. That's what I was hanging on to. What I did. That's how I defined myself.
Day I decided to tell God, "I'm back!"
It's been quite a journey since that moment, but today marks yet another defining moment.
I'm no longer living in my old self.
I am redeemed
I am restored
I am greatly loved by God.
My defining moments will no longer be what I did, but what God has done in my life.
It's about Him.
His healing
His love
For His glory
