What Got You Last Night?

Recently Spiritually I've been going through a rough patch. But God is so faithful to pull me out of those situations. All my life he's proven that. I was thinking about that this evening when I had to outline my testimony that I'll be sharing in Thailand in May. Reliving my past was harder than I thought. I was sitting in one of the library side rooms in near tears as my mind raced from one horrible memory to another. My chest grew tight and my breathing got heavier as I closed my eyes and pictured myself curled up in a ball crying my eyes out and screaming at the top of my lungs for my mom to come in my room and save me from my dreams. I could taste the salty tears and I could feel my hot breath under my covers. I remember waiting for the sound of my moms door because that meant that everything would be better. I remember every word she said to me. "Just worship Jemima. The demons will leave if you tell them too." Can you imagine? A ten year old kid yelling for the demons to leave at 3 o'clock in the morning. That was my childhood. Preschool until eighth grade. That's probably why I sleep so well these days, I'm making up for my past. The most compelling part of my story is what my mom asked me every morning. "What got you last night?" and I would always answer the same way. "Nothing Mama." She would always remind me that God is my protector and He is faithful and He is greater than the devil and He can manage anything Satan throws at me. 

So just worship Jemima. Worship Him because He is the mighty warrior and He has won! He has saved me from the evil one! Worship Him because it makes the demons leave. Worship Him because He deserves it.
