My Biography, My Testimony

For one of the Wednesday night classes this Summer the church has asked several members to share their testimony. I was asked to share my story.

I was very hesitant to do this because I didn't know that I had anything to really share. Anyway, I did agree to do it. To prepare for the class, I wrote an autobiography. I didn't know what I wanted to say, so the autobiography was just to make me think about stories and influences and what not. I just kept praying for the Holy Spirit to give me the words to speak.

When I went to the class, I still had no idea what exactly to speak on. When the Education Minister" introduced" me he mentioned that he had become intrigued with my background during my "How to study the Bible" class when I mentioned I had been a minister for a church planting in Wisconsin.

So, I knew then what stories to tell and thanked God for telling me what to say. I started by stating that I have never understood people who are "confused' about what God wants for their lives. God always seems to be moving me where He wants me, when He wants me to be there.

I then told different stories about how God had prepared me for ministry. I told the story of how we moved to Wisconsin. I told the story of how we left Wisconsin and how it was at just the right time. As I ended each story with the 20/20 hindsight of how God had worked, I re-iterated that I never understood people who are "confused' about what God wants for their lives.

Anyway, for prosperity, here is my autobiography. It is very boring. But, maybe in 20 0r 30 years my kids may want it.
