Being Used by God

08.10.2007 by juliegumm@yahoo.com //

Thanks so much for all your awesome comments on my last post. After I finished writing that post I did just sit and have a good cry – listened to some awesome music on my iPod and had a good heart to heart with God.

I also had a few close friends and prayer warriors lifting me up in prayer over the last few days and it has made a world of difference. I have felt such peace and joy at being able to share my story.

We videotaped my testimony in the wee hours of the morning today. The "Baggage" series has a whole airport theme so we actually got to shoot the video at the Phoenix Airport – but in order to do that we had to do it at 1 a.m. I got home around 4:30 this morning, got a couple hours of sleep before getting up to get the kids off to school. Then I went back to bed til noon. Still pretty zonked but I should be able to hold out until a decent time tonight.

The videotaping went really well and hopefully they got everything they needed. Now it’s up to Dana and Alvin as they edit it. I’ll post it online when it’s done – probably after the service on the 25/26.

    Oh, I’m so glad it went well. I was really thinking about you and praying for you! Can’t wait to see it on the big screen at church!

    Glad it all worked out, Julie. How neat to shoot a video “on location” at Sky Harbor! Seriously, though, I prayed for you too, and I’ll pray for you tonight/tomorrow as people are watching your testimony. It would be awesome if you could post the video for us “long-distance” friends to see…
