The Testimony Behind the Website

     Back in September of 2015, I was asked to do something to help the community as a part of the Handmaidens and Lamplighters program I am in.  I had no idea where to start, so I prayed about it.  As I did so, I was reminded of my passion for testimonies.  I decided to ask people to share their testimonies.  The original intent was to start a book.  Through an amazing turn of events, it turned into this website, where people can come and read testimonies.
     I must acknowledge the fact that God had this project in His hands all the way.  When I prayed and asked for a title, He brought to mind Lamentations 3:22-23 -- "It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.  They are new every morning; great is thy faithfulness."  
     I then began to worry about printing a book.  I had no clue how to go about it.  One morning I decided to tell God about my problem.  After I had finished my prayer, I felt lead to open my Bible.  When I did, the first thing I saw was Matthew 6:37 -- "Behold, I say unto you, that your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things."  
     It was about a month later that my mom brought up the idea of starting a website for the testimonies.  That way, anyone can freely read about God's goodness!
      Since this has been happening, I am so in awe of God.  I guess I never realized how wonderful He truly is.  I don't think earthly words can really describe our Heavenly Father in full.  He so deeply cares for each and every one of us and wants each of us to have only the best.

     It is my hope that these testimonies may strengthen the faith of all who read them and help to spread the Gospel of Christ.

    In the bonds of Christ,
    Hannah P. Edwards
