Joy Unspeakable

Hello Blog World,
I was thinking really hard about what I should post first, and I think it is appropriate to put my personal testimony first to show you a little about who I am.

I grew up going to church. I was always the first one to arrive and the last one to leave. I can't say that I always enjoyed being at church that much, at least when I was younger.

When I was seven I asked God for forgiveness for the first time at V.B.S.. I can play out the night perfectly in my head, I even know what I was wearing. It was a huge defining moment for my life. I asked God to come clean my heart, make me new. I felt so happy I wanted to sing and jump. I was filled with Joy that is unspeakable. Of course a little seven year old can't fully understand a true relationship with Christ so I eventually fell away.

When I was 13, after my grandmother had died, I fell away from God and people. I held back all of my emotions. It was my desperate need for help that led me to Jesus Christ, my savior. Soon after my freshman year of high school, I rededicated my life to Christ, and became completely new.

Since then I have been a totally different person. God is using me in ways I never imagined. It is scary sometimes, but always I am amazed that a God so great would use a girl like me. I owe everything to God and so much more, He is the Joy Unspeakable in my life and I pray that he becomes or already is the Joy in your life. He has wrapped me, a sinner, in his arms and has healed me and I never ever want to leave!

My life would not be an adventure without Christ in it. He is sending me on a new adventure every day...  but those adventures are for another day and time. Thanks for reading. :)

Sincerely,
Breanna Rose
