I am delighted to welcome Abby McDonald
as a guest host for the linkup today.
She brings God’s truth to light in a gentle, yet profound way.
I take deep breaths in and out, trying to calm the rapid pulse of my heart. It’s no use. My hands shake as I rummage through my purse for lip gloss, trying to silence the voices of defeat. Every five seconds, I look over my shoulder for my husband. Where is he?
When the worship band begins playing, I focus on the words.

Kelly may God bless you for sharing this space with Abby. I’m excited to follow the link to read the rest of this testimony.
Thank you dear Tyra! You are such a blessing to me. I love seeing your face. I am praying over you for God’s hand to guide you, keep you and bless you in all you do. Much love to you!
Kelly, wonderful testimony shared by Abby. She is sure to bless many today!
I completely agree Joanne. We are all blessed by this.
This was a beautiful post that perfectly states what all of us go through when we step out in obedience. The Lord uses us for His Kingdom, even our freak out moments! I am speaking at an event in Feb and am having some moments of doubt myself right now. I really needed to hear this today. Thanks for allowing Abby to share her story Kelly. I pray it will bless many.
Nicki,
I am delighted that it spoke to you. Praise God for that. I know that the Lord will give you just what you need in Feb. I am praying over this for you right now Nicki! Much love to you!
