Just in the last couple of weeks I have read through pretty much the entirety of your blog, and have mused time and again about that classmate, asked to pick the person from school she thought least likely to be saved, to attend the revival meeting. Wow. She has no idea of the legacy she began, or the lives she changed.<br />I was talking to my husband the other day, and was thinking how we can look back on hard times and see how God worked. The wonderful gift of your blog is that you are sharing as you lived through hard times, and your life going through them is a testimony.<br />Thank you, Brenda. You have blessed me more than you can know.<br />Talk about legacy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-77746124837081627062014-03-09T17:09:27.124-04:002014-03-09T17:09:27.124-04:00Brenda, so many truths.

My faith has been the absolute ONE THING throughout my entire life. Had I not had my faith I probably wouldn't be here or at least not the person I am. God is so good and He never leaves us or brings us to it without bringing us through it. I love to here stories of people's faith because it only enriches my own and makes me realize even more how blessed I am. I've had many MIRACLES in my life and I am forever thankful for them. Thank you for sharing your story and letting us into your life for a moment.

I many time let the things in life change my mind on my religion and I often wonder if another would help me be more positive. I love the Lord and he has been at my side all through my trials. I do not know how anyone could live their lives and not have him by their side.
