TruthFest Time
[Please feel free to comment and tell us about your truthfest! We'd love to hear what God is doing in each of your lives!]
Debbie:
This week, though working has left me short on sleep, God has been blessing me with peace through my job, my family, and even my anxieties.
Hännah:
When I’m most aware of my own depravity, I become more aware of God’s grace and more enamoured of Him. This week, He revealed my selfishness and pride over and over again, but also revealed His goodness to me all the more through this. I’m so thankful for His kindness in revealing Himself to me through that!
Kaitlin:
Over the last week and a half, God used the visit of my very special friend, Katie Marie, to challenge me in my walk with the Lord, convict me of my wretched sin, and refresh my soul with her friendship and the fellowship that we shared.
Kate:
During a small group meeting tonight God reminded me through 1 Corinthians 15 of the truth that this life isn’t the end, but we have hope because of the resurrection (both Christ’s, which is the power of the Gospel, and ours, which means we spend eternity with Him!) Reading chapter 15 was such an encouraging reminder that “[our] labor is not in vain” here on this earth.
Katie Marie:
This morning God has met me by challenging me to dig deeper into His Word. He is showing me that even when I don’t fully understand the meaning of all that’s written in scripture, His truth will stand forever.
Kelsey:
Since I’ve been home from school, God has been using my friends to remind me of the truths that I hold to and encouraging me on toward righteousness.
Riette:
God has given me much grace this week as I’ve had two friends in particularly needy situations. I’ve been able to share God’s truth with them and encourage them without feeling like I was pouring myself out; God was speaking through me.
Stephanie:
“He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; He set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.” Psalm 40:2 NIV
After several weeks of “mud and mire”, God met me at my absolute weakest point, and no sooner. Through the prayers of dear sisters, God lifted a very heavy burden, told me again how deeply He loves me, and that He’s not through with me yet. He is my joy, my Rock, and my Salvation!

God is walking me through yet another difficult time and daily giving me all I need to make it through. He is so faithful to help and correct me, and is showing me that serving others (i.e. getting my mind off myself and ending the pity party) is really a blessing from him.
