Psalms 71:7-8 (NLT)
7 My life is an example to many, because you have been my strength and protection. 8 That is why I can never stop praising you; I declare your glory all day long.

When people who have known us for a long time look at our lives what do they see? I often wonder if they see a story of overcoming obstacles or one of tragic disappointment. 
People who have known me for over 20 years know I am drastically different today than I was 20 years ago. I praise God that when people look at my life they see a difference. There is nothing more discouraging than to see someone who was lost in their youth still lost in older years. But God has had mercy on so many of us that we can sing with joy, when I look back over my life and I think things over I can truly say that I’ve been blessed, I’ve got a testimony!
Lord continue to bless me and change me that I may glorify You all the days of my life.
