Sharing My Testimony and Singing at First Baptist Morristown, TN Last Night

I sang at First Baptist Morristown, TN yesterday for the first time since I left there at age five when I used to sing solos there as a child. It was a blessing. We felt the presence of the sweet Holy Spirit as I told about how Jesus keeps His own and praised Him for being such a faithful Shepherd to me all of my life, making me indebted to such Love to tell others about Him.
All glory goes to God as He helped me and kept my voice strong, despite the fact that I felt like I had a fresh cold. I rarely get sick, but I woke up Sunday morning with a stuffy head and prayed that God would use me for His glory and make my voice strong despite the way I felt. He was at work, and people felt His presence and love as I share about His faithfulness in my life...
...and then we watched a video on Lighting the Way to see the ministry in action in all of our locations...
The women in the church came down and prayed for me at the end, and I could not help but cry as I felt God's amazing love.
I sang "Til The Storm Passes Over" in the middle of my testimony and ended with my testimony in song, "My Prize."
I spoke about how God wants to be Everything to me...and how He saved us to be our all in all. Some of the people came up to me with tears after the service, but no one got more of a blessing than I. I told how I was saved in that church when I was 5 years old and baptized and how God came into my heart to stay.
