Today I share my testimony, but first....

I would like to recognize a very special and talented Godly woman who helped me create my navigation bar (tabs). Do you see the navigation tab bar above? Isn't it awesome? You can play around with it after you read this and my testimony is already posted there. Well this work comes from a very amazing woman who gives instructions, tips, and secrets on just about anything you can imagine from creating your own buttons, to adding a third column to your blog, or just about anything else you can think of. She exposes all the tricks for free! Her name is Jeanette blogger of Easy Custom Blogs. I really, really tried to follow her instructions toggling back and forth from her site to mine for literally hours, and up until almost 3 AM trying to figure this out, but somehow it always looked 'off'.' I think I was always missing a step. I must have emailed her or messaged Jeanette several times, and every time she was so patient with me. I finally asked her if I can email her the codes I do have and asked if she could see if I have it correct. (I think she somehow knew what I was slowly realizing; that I just didn't have the smarts for this feature. I just couldn't figure it out.) Sure I created my own blog button, my own header, and did various other things on my own, but a navigation bar with tabs??? Uh-no. In the end she corrected some things and went a step further. She made it look even better than I would have ever dreamed! This was such a major blessing for me. I believe that due to my obedience in finally doing what God instructed about sharing my past, He used Jeanette as His vessel to help make the perfect navigation bar. I love it and it is such a blessing. Why do I say it's a blessing? I say this because the whole purpose of me wanting to add a navigation bar was to glorify God by reaching out to others to draw them closer to Him. It all started when I read a testimony of someone who sounded very similar to me (in a certain area) merely 3 weeks ago. (Read the following post below this one to understand what I'm referring to.) However, I was too ashamed, disturbed, and worried about how other's would view me to share my walk about how God rescued me from such a distorted past. But when I stumbled across this lady's blog who publicly opened her past up, for all the world to view online I felt like I was reading parts of myself in her testimony. Yet, I had never shared my story, except to just a few. I felt I cheated God. Why? Because I felt full of shame, embarrassment, anger within, disappointment, fear of what other's would think of me, the list could go on....this is why I never publicly shared. I was afraid and didn't want to go back in time. That's where the idea to create my own navigation bar (tabs) came from; so that I could list who we were, what we believe, and most importantly our personal testimony and 'Why Jesus?'. And of course there's the 'contact us' tab at the end. So if you desire to read a very long history about who Sarah was as a child which led my long road to a sincere relationship with Christ, than click above on the 'Personal Testimony'. I already have it posted up. But I must warn you that it's not a story testimony; more like a story. (Sorry, I just didn't know the rules about sharing a testimony publicly) So do yourself a favor and visit Jeanette at Easy Custom Blogs or click on her button that I have on the left hand sidebar under 'My Button Collection'. That is if you desire to spice up your blog or website some. She has all the tutorials written and is a fantastic woman of God. Thank you Jeanette for all your help, patience, and support.
