I can remember...

I can remember it as if it was just yesterday! October 30th, 2006. Acquire the Fire youth concert/conference... Lord you spoke!
         I can remember sitting there watching everyone else crying and lifting their hands :) The theme of the year was 'Who are you branded by?'... The question that didn't end with the answer God! For me Lord, i was but an orphan, in a foster home, wondering between hurt after hurt and all you said was 'Tish, i take in the orphan and care for the fatherless'...
        Lord, you knew just what to say then... and you haven't changed one bit! That same night you played a song called "Came to my Rescue". It was then God that you completely opened my heart and poured your very sacrificial love into the depths and cracks of the child that I was....I gave my life to you that night. You carried me down as a groom carries His bride. You bent with me as I fell to my knees. You cried with me as I released every bit of pain. You forgave me. CHRIST.... You forgave me. That's a debt I can never repay, but Lord 6 years later, you are my number one desire :)
      There has been times when I have forgotten to come to you, where I have chosen to do other things, where I have surely hurt you. Times when i'd fallen back into old sin, when I'd picked back up my dead mans clothes... times when I have thought that I had it all together only for you to allow me to fall back into pride, selfishness, and resentment. Lord, you have broken me over and over. You have drawn me closer to you, you have allowed me to choose. I fix my eyes on you. 6 years later... I am happy to say once more 'I DO'! I choose you all over again!
      Lord, you accept my imperfect ways, you know my inner thoughts and you have put up with me... Your LOVE is like no other! I will follow you Lord, even when I cannot feel your touch or hear your voice or sense your presence! Lord!!!!! GOD!!!! !Messiah! I am so happy to be yours and no longer a slave to sin! Thank you for deliverance! Thank you for unlimited chances... thank you for NEW LIFE and mercies everyday! Thank you for a past... yet a future with you! It was you GOD that filled the sporadic gaps within my heart! Thank you my Lord, my Father, my Best Friend! Thank you for coming to my Rescue!

YOU ARE MY SOURCE OF LIFE!
