On Amy's amazing blog, Chapters, she recently posted about Cardboard Testimonies. I want to share the video with you, but due to my extreme lack of bloggy-techno savvy, I will just direct you to the link below, so that you can view the video on Amy's blog. Please take a moment to watch this beautiful video...you may want to grab some tissues first.
Amy's Cardboard Testimony
My Cardboard Testimony
Broken...Restored and Redeemed
My grace is sufficient for you; for My strength is made perfect in weakness.
2 Corinthians 12:8
For I know that my Redeemer lives,
And He shall stand at last on the earth;
Job 19:25
Held Captive...Forever Free, Forgiven, and Loved
When the Lord brought back the captivity of Zion,
We were like those who dream.
Then our mouth was filled with laughter,
And our tongue with singing.
Then they said among the nations,
"The Lord has done great things for them."
The Lord has done great things for us,
And we are glad.
Bring back our captivity, O Lord,
As the streams in the South.
Those who sow in tears
Shall reap in joy. (some versions say..."with songs of joy")
He who continually goes forth weeping,
Bearing seed for sowing,
Shall doubtless come again with rejoicing,
Bringing his sheaves with him.
Psalm 126
Lost in the Ashes of our Grief...Found in His Beautiful, Sufficient Grace
"The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me,
Because the Lord has anointed Me
To preach good tidings to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives,
And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord,
And the day of vengeance of our God;
To comfort all who mourn,
To console those who mourn in Zion,
To give them beauty for ashes,
The oil of joy for mourning,
The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;
That they may be called trees of righteousness,
The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.
Isaiah 61:1-3
You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;
You have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness,
To the end that my glory may sing praise to You and not be silent.
O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever.
Psalm 30:11-12
His name is Jesus...and He came for me.
His name is Jesus...and He came for you.
I'd love to hear from you...What's your cardboard testimony?

I love this and I'm so glad you did it. There is something so touching about seeing people "expose" their weaknesses! We're all real and have our struggles, it's a shame people don't choose to live more transparently!
I'm so sorry it took me a while to respond...I've been out of it lately and am just now catching back up!
