One of the best parts of T10 is swapping stories afterwards. Here’s the transcript of Anna’s testimony as she shared last Sunday.
This year has been particularly hard for me. I started out this year with feeling guilty for my salvation. I believed that my heart was very dark and I believe it still is and that in no way I deserved love from our amazing God. Through a lot of prayers and fellowshipping I recently moved from feeling guilty for my salvation to being in complete awe of our God because the sinless savior died for a wretched mule like me.
I had never been to a conference except when I had joined a Mormon group on campus when I first became a Christian. Needless to say that was extremely boring. Not knowing what to expect out of this conference I was pleasantly surprised. I realized how big our god is. I always knew he was big but I did not ever realize that he was big enough to even hold the oceans in his hands. Dr. Ware stressed on this point a lot and it really hit home for me. Even though our god is all big and powerful he still knew me in my mother’s womb. That just makes me want to crawl down and worship him.
Another point that Dr. Ware made was from Isaiah 45: 5-7. It stressed that god fully controls both good and evil yet, god is wholly good and is not evil in any respect what so ever. It is still really difficult for me to understand this verse or I should say that I still struggle with Dr. Ware’s explanation for this verse. But that is very hopeful because after confusion comes understanding; I learned this principle from graduate school.
The conference was very helpful in changing or revamping my view of our amazing god. It rejuvenated in me this sense of knowing him more. There were a lot more interesting points but the above two points were particularly encouraging for me.
The conference was also a good place for fellowshipping. I should have met more people but I just stuck with Les and Sue the whole time, sorry guys. Also, my friend got a free meal at the conference which as an economist made me extremely happy.
The conference was an amazing blessing; it really was a gift from god. I cannot thank our lord enough for providing me with an amazing family in Christ and for reminding me again how glorious, amazing and loving he is.
Amen!
