Sometimes, my humanness gets the best of me. I hesitate. I doubt. I feel fear or shame. I get frustrated or weary. Pride creeps in. I've even wanted to give up - more times than I want to admit.

But God. Again and again. For 20 years!

His goodness and faithfulness are so steady. He is full of abundance.

And through it all, He has surrounded me with the wisdom, support and kindness of others.

Honestly, I still don’t fully understand it. How He moves. How He provides. How He renews.

But here’s what I’ve learned:

When I feel confused, weary, or stuck …

• I quiet myself.
• I pray.
• I turn to His Word.
• I give the situation space and time.

Then - I (or we) take the next step.

We persevere. We keep going, even if the progress is small or slower than we wanted.

And then we watch ... for how God is moving. And He provides a way again and again.

After 20 years, I still don’t understand how He works. He is such a beautiful mystery!

Yet I know this: His love, grace and hope are real. They are powerful. They are more than enough.

He is so, so good.
To me.
To Fishhook.
Every single step of the way.

All glory to God.

This is my honest look back - my story. Really, it’s my testimony.

What about you? What is your story? What testimony do you have to share? And who needs to hear it?
