ROUGH TRANSCRIPT:
23 has been so good to me. God has been so good to me.
If you remember my testimonies from last year, you’d know they were more on the sad side.
There’s a verse from a song I really like: “I thank God for all the days of depression. God was teaching me lessons.”
Truly, God was teaching me so much during those difficult seasons of my life.
- Stop relying on people. They’ll always let you down.
- Stop looking to your accomplishments and this reputation of being “perfect”. It’s so exhausting to keep up with. You’ll let yourself down.
- Stop looking to things to satisfy you. It’s never enough.
- And stop relying on your own plans for your life. God has something better.
God really humbled me and let me go from disappointment to disappointment. Things let me down. Situations let me down. People I love let me down. My friends let me down. My family let me down. I let me down.
But you know who never let me down?!? I so believe that sometimes God gives you more than you can handle so that you stop relying on yourself and start relying on Him. I’m so grateful for those let-downs because that’s when I found fulfillment and peace and unexplainable joy in God. It sounds so cheesy but I’ve tasted and seen the goodness of God and nothing else compares.
My theme for this year has been “remember His promises” and that’s been what’s carrying me through everything. My life verse has been Romans 8:28.
I’m so thankful to stand here before you today and say that God has healed me so much and delivered me from so much. God delivered me from depression and from my fear of the future. He healed me from heartbreak and resentment. He brought me to new places, new success, new friends, and new depths of knowing Him and being in His presence.
God has given me a lot of opportunities to TRUST in Him and to obey. Many times I’m literally shaking in my boots and stumbling over my words but I say “Yes Lord” and do it anyway. And I feel so so so blessed whenever I trust and follow His lead.
Here are some ways God has blessed me this year:
- God allowed me to start hopeful label this year and this has always been a dream of mine. When I see people wear things I designed in my bedroom at like 3am, I have nothing to say but “Thank you God!”
- God has let me stand in rooms I never thought I’d enter and speak to people I never thought I’d lead.
- God moved mountains for me to go to grad school and it’s been so rewarding and affirming that I’m on the right track! Every class, I leave feeling so purpose-driven and I’m receiving the highest grades I’ve ever had. I feel excited for the future, not anxious like I used to.
- God has restored my confidence. Because I remember who He says I am instead of basing my identity in my own works or what others think of me…I walk and talk with a different kind of boldness. My confidence is restored that when trials and tribulations come, I think of them as opportunities to learn or opportunities for God to continue molding me into the woman He wants me to be. I am so confident in Him and trust Him so much that I feel so confident and HOPEFUL for the future. I know He’s going to make everything right in its time.
- I don’t share these things to brag about me because none of these things are by my own strength. It’s because of HIS goodness and to bring HIM glory. There’s absolutely no way I could’ve done any of these things by myself.
I hope that my life is a testimony of God’s goodness. I pray you all remember His promises to you and stand firm on them. They’ll get you through the hardest days of your life and they’ll be your hope and joy. God is a good Father and a good friend. Even though the years change, He remains the same. Stand firm on Him.
