I would love to hear and share how God has
changed your life, and I guarantee you it will encourage
other believers and it could change a life. Today's Testimony Tuesday,
(00:48):
and there's only a few testimonies left, so share your testimony.
Email the show Bring Heaven Down seven at gmail dot com.
I know there are plenty of more testimonies out there,
so I pray that you'd be bold and willing to
share how God changed your life. If not, we'll figure
(01:09):
out something else to do on Tuesday. But it's Testimony Tuesday,
so grab your favorite drink or a cup of coffee,
and let's bring Heaven a little closer together. Today's testimony
comes from Sabrina and she writes this, I grew up
(01:31):
Catholic and never really sent as a young adult. I
went to many different churches until I found where I
am now. But I held back. I was the quiet
one in the very last row. Everyone knew my name,
but not my story. It took some shaking events, Yep,
(01:53):
more than one, several. I am kind of a slow learner,
aren't we all? Aren't we all slowlier? She continues. I
had several strokes in my sleep and lost partial use
of my right hand and arm for a long while.
It was suggested to me to crochet again as physical
(02:18):
therapy since my hand would twitch and go numb a lot.
I took croche everywhere with me, Yes, even church. I
have been asked to move. I was told I am
rude and disrespectful to the pastor. I was told I
am an annoyance or a distraction. I prayed about it,
and my heart said stitch or twitch. I kept on stitching.
(02:43):
People would always ask what I was working on. I
prayed for healing, and after a while I can crochet
better than ever. I pray as I do it. I
thank the Good Lord for my hands and ask that
somehow would I make be a blessing to boy? Did
I get what I asked for? My husband was fighting cancer,
(03:06):
all the treatments and the doctors. I made things, giving
them to doctors and nurses, leaving little things in the
waiting rooms and chapels, and so many conversations were started
with what are you making? My favorite things are the
God projects. The Lord sometimes put a picture in my
head and tells me to make this now. I learned
(03:30):
over years, my slow learning thing to listen, put aside
what I am doing and make Jesus' request, because about
the time I get it done, that same voice that
said make this will tell me that thing I asked for,
give it to that person. I have told my story
(03:54):
and gifted lots of stuff over the years. God healed
my hands over time and also showed me I am
not so quiet. I pray as I work and love
what I do, and my craft is my testimony time, patience,
and prayer. Thank you Jesus. This is an incredible testimony
(04:19):
by Sabrina because there are so many lessons that she
shares throughout her testimony, and the first one that stands
out to me it says, I am kind of a
slow learner. It took some shaking events. I am kind
(04:41):
of a slow learner. Aren't we all? It doesn't just
take one event to get our attention, at least for me.
For most of us, it takes multiple instances where God
is trying to get my attention and say, Yo, I've
told you once, I've told twice. This is the fifth
(05:02):
time I'm trying to tell you to do something. It's
time to do it. So, Sabrina, you're not alone in
being a slow learner in trying to figure out what
God is trying to tell you. And then she goes
(05:26):
on to talk about her new hobby, crocheing, and I
hope I'm saying that right, and how it's physical therapy
since her hand would twitch and go numble lot. She
said it's She said, it's either stitch or I twitch.
So she kept on stitching. And I love how in
(05:49):
her hobby that helped her hand. She found a way
to raise and glorify God through the hobby, because that
should really be our goal with our hobbies. It doesn't
(06:13):
matter what it is. If you like to play basketball
or golf or hang out with friends, you can glorify
God in all of those things. If you play basketball,
you can glorify God by setting a good example on
the basketball court. If you like the golf you can
(06:34):
do the same thing if you like to hang out
with friends. You can glorify God in the conversations that
you have without gossip, with encouraging each other, praying for
each other. And what I'm learning from Sabrina's testimony is
that she really found a way to glorify God through
(06:56):
this crocheme. She made things for doctors and nurses. She
had conversations with people in the lobby saying what are
you making? She talked about these God projects. And really,
that's what we should intend to do with our hobbies.
(07:18):
We can have fun, we can do things we enjoy
that is godly. God doesn't say you shouldn't go play
a basketball game or a golf game. He doesn't say
you need to be in church twenty four to seven.
He doesn't say you need to read your Bible twenty
four to seven. You can still have a life. But
when you leave those doors of church or of your house,
(07:42):
our goal, our intention, should be to take God with
us everywhere we go. We should be intending to carry
God with us in our heart, with our mind, through
our conversations, through our hobby as much as we can.
And I think about this podcast. I've been podcasting for
(08:06):
a few years, and I've been working for iHeartRadio for
six years, and the Lord paved a way for my
enjoyment of podcasting to eventually become this Christian daily devotional show.
(08:29):
But before this, I could glorify God in the other
podcast projects that I did. If I talked about sports,
I could glorify God in the way that I talked
about sports. And now God has paved this path for
me to talk about Him on a podcast Monday through
(08:52):
Friday that I'm grateful that you listen to. So what
I'm learning and what I'm seeing in some INA's testimony
is that she's understanding that her hobby to improve her hand,
which she says God healed her hand over time. She
(09:12):
really used it to glorify and praise God despite despite
hand issues, because it wasn't I'm sure an easy thing.
Her hand would go numb. She said. She either stitches
or twitches, so this had to be a challenge, and
(09:35):
through this challenge she found a way to glorify God
in serving others through her hobby, something we all could
learn from, something we can all do through our own
individual hobbies to glorify God. It doesn't have to look
(09:59):
like or shank. It doesn't have to look like a
basketball game or a sporting event. Whatever hobby you enjoy.
It could be a simple hobby you like doing by yourself.
Maybe you like doing puzzle pieces or whatever the case.
Maybe I don't know, and that becomes your time to
(10:20):
pray while you're doing the puzzle. So just something to
think about. And I'm grateful that Sabrina shared her testimony
and I hope you will too. Email the show, Bring

and more about our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
