Today’s thoughts by Deborah Ard

Isaiah 40:31 KJV — But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Last week Julie shared her testimony. This week I am sharing my personal testimony, my Christian walk, and my version of our Water Walkers journey from the beginning.

How did I get here? After high school I attended an all women, private, United Methodist college. Not only did I receive a Bachelor of Arts degree, but I gained lifelong friendships. The summer between my sophomore and junior year of college, while at the beach with my family, I met Clark. My college roommate was with me and almost as a joke, we planned a double date for later that week. On our date, Clark prayed for our supper. I had never experienced a guy my age being so naturally bold about his faith. We soon began dating and four years later we were married. Today’s featured scripture had become meaningful to Clark and I and as a result we had it inscribed in our wedding bands. 

Clark joined me in being active in our church and the fall after we were married we decided to take part in a nine month Bible study with other young adults. Participating together in that Bible study solidified our Christian relationship and Christian marriage. For that, I am so thankful.

Do you believe in Christ Jesus? Have you asked Him into your heart to forgive your sins and be Lord over your life? If you want more information on salvation click here to go to our page on Steps To Peace.

Let’s pray. Dear God, thank You for the gift of Your son, Christ Jesus. Forgive me of my sins and be Lord over my life. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
