So Glad I Made It.

Posted By: Ashley

A few weeks ago I had the tremendous opportunity to hear Pastor Marvin Sapp preach a sermon at my church. Marvin Sapp is a phenomenal gospel artist but before he became a famous singer, he was a Minister. He said a few words that I have since carried with me and lean on in difficult times. He shared the story about his wife passing away at such a young age and how he suddenly became a single parent. He talked about the difficult time he endured trying cope with his loss...and how that season in his life inspired him to write the song, "My Testimony" because he realized that he may not be where he wants to be YET...but he's made it this far even though at one point -  he didn't think "making it" was even possible.
I've realized that when I'm going through a dark stormy season in my life or a period of depression, that for me, every day is "making it." I may not have achieved all that I want to achieve (yet) but I made it to today....I made it through....and that in itself is worth praising God for.

So glad I made it, I made it through

In spite of the storm and rain, heartache and pain

Still I’m declaring

I made it through

See, I didn’t lose
Experience lost at a major cost

But I never lost faith in you
So if you see me cry,

It’s just a sign that I’m still alive

I got some scars, but I’m still alive

In spite of calamity, He still has a plan for me

And it’s working for my good

And it’s building my testimony

I'm so glad I made it.
