The True Star of Testimonies

Who is the spotlight on in your testimony?

I love people's testimonies, I always have. The unbelievable story from death to life is beautiful every time. People overcoming adversity and all odds against them to come out on the other side, and becoming a follower and full believer of Jesus Christ blows my mind and warms my heart.

Sometimes, I forget who the true star of each story is, and I know I'm not the only one. I get caught up in the person's story and think "wow, that must have been hard," or "they're so amazing," which are probably all valid thoughts. The reason why somebody got over a hard situation or why they're amazing has nothing to do with them at all but all to do with God. He is the only reason people get through hardships, He is the only reason why people's personalities shine. When people share their testimonies, the true star of the show always doesn't get the amount of spotlight it deserves. God is the true star of any story and He deserves all the glory.

A testimony shouldn't put the spotlight on the person but should always showcase the amazing transformations God does with countless lives. Our God takes people who dance with death and brings them into the eternal with Him. Testimonies are real world examples of the life transformation people can have. They are to show the saving grace that God's Son offers us because He is our Savior.

So let's shine the spotlight back onto the real star of each testimony. We need to remember that the reason we have testimonies to tell is because of the loving Father we have in Heaven who wants us to turn to Him and have a relationship with Him.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
