This Is My Story But His Song

Book excerpt: "This Is My Story But His Song" is a true testimony about a girl growing up in Alabama with a loving and caring family. Her mother introduced her to singing at church at the young age of four. Initially, Nan did not enjoy singing because during her childhood, her brothers thought it was the funniest thing to make her cry while singing solos. When they were older, the tears were reversed and the brothers cried as Nan sang like an "Angel." Her troubles started when she wanted to experience life and relationships. This story tells of the many highs and lows which Nan goes through in life as a woman struggling with promiscuity and its consequences; she's a discontented wife with many relationship mishaps. Having succumbed to human weaknesses time and time again, she was exposed. After meeting Luke, Ed and Ron she thought she had love figured out. It wasn't until she met John and her life changed for the better. God gets the glory because Nan always knew where her heart was. She realized that with all of the emptiness from a relationship with men, the only one who could ever make her feel "agape" love was God alone. Lessons her parents taught her as a child followed her through her life. As in 1 Peter, Nan believes she has suffered for Christ's sake and throughout all of her pains and shortcomings, she's able to stand tall, come out of her chrysalis with a song in her heart and emerge into the most "Beautiful, Colorful Butterfly" ever seen. Nan prays that all will be inspired and encouraged knowing that Jesus died for all of our sins and because of His stripes we are healed. Just know that Jesus loves you and He'll meet you where you are.
