This beautiful woman right here has been such an inspiration to me. Last year we were performing in Lincolnton, GA and I met Mrs. Doris there. We were talking and God led me to ask her if she would like to share her testimony on my blog. She became so excited and almost teary eyed as this ended up being a confirmation to her that God had a plan and a purpose for her........and it involved her testimony! Thank you Doris for your obedience to God and for sharing your life with us!

Did you ever wish you could turn the clock back 10, 20, or 30 years and take with you the experience, knowledge, spiritual maturity, and wisdom that you had received over the course of those years? This is what God is doing in my life!
My late husband, Bill, and I were married almost 30 years. He was a good man but he had some disabilities and handicaps that were not apparent to others, and were known only to a few close family members. Because of this I was unable to be more available to the Lord for service.
I would have liked to have made a difference in more people's lives. Bill went home to be with the Lord on Feb. 2, 2011. Although I now had time to be more active in the Lord's service, I realized I was older, not as healthy, very much out of touch and my enthusiasm was dampened to say the least. BUT GOD. Those are the two most important words in this testimony. God knew my heart's desire. Not long after that the Lord's word came to me saying, "I will restore what the cankerworm hath eaten." I thought on it for a minute then I responded to Him in prayer. I prayed, "Lord, restore unto me what the years have taken away." And He began to restore, and restored at least 20 years to date. My health is good, and my enthusiasm is rooted in the Great "I Am" The great and mighty awesome God who said, "I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for me?"
Jesus said, "Go and tell what great things the Lord hath done for thee." To God be the glory. Amen.
