Have you ever wondered if you were the ONLY one in the world who keeps
the Sabbath? This was truly how my husband and I felt when we first
started keeping Sabbath. It was an incredibly lonely feeling. We
didn't know anyone else who kept Sabbath or if there were churches or
groups of Christians who taught the truths that God was revealing to
us. Since that time, we have discovered many others who live and teach the
truth of Sabbath. It has opened up a whole new world . . . a world
that is unfamiliar, yet full of blessings. More than anything else,
this blog has been a source of meeting Sabbath keepers and receiving
helpful information, insights and encouragement! Having my readers reach out to me has been a critical part of my
growth on this Sabbath keeping journey. I can't thank all of you
enough for letting me know that I'm not alone! And now, when I start
to feel discouraged by the lack of Sabbath keepers around me, I can
just go to this blog and see a whole community of believers
celebrating this joy together! A lady named Joanna recently shared her story with me of feeling alone
at the beginning of her Sabbath keeping journey. I would like to
share that story with you this week. Joanna Celeste:
Hi there and may Yah bless. I was a strong member of my church and made it my mission to bring
as many people as I could every chance I got. My life has been such a
testimony. Then one day my car stopped working and for weeks I tried
to get to church and couldn't. I lived a little too far for anyone to
come and get me. I kept praying and praying and was getting so upset.
I felt as if I was being punished for something. I got online to find some church. I need that spirit, that
feeling. Then I felt a tap on my shoulder and heard Daddy say, "Baby
girl, I am right here." I fell into prayer, picked up my Bible and
starting reading. It was then that Yah/God revealed himself and the
truth. I have not been back to Sunday service since and my whole
household keeps Sabbath. The blessings just keep pouring in. I am
able to help more people now and in a true way with true scripture. I love my church and my pastor with all my heart, but I love
Yah/God more and I choose to walk by His word now and not man's. When
I kept Sunday Church I would sometimes be excited about going but I am
always excited about the Sabbath. I'm like a little kid in the candy
store.. just can't get enough! Thank you for your page. I was feeling alone in this at first.
Now I see the truth is coming out and more and more of my brothers and
sisters are turning to the Bible and really reading. Praise Yah and
may Yah bless. Thank you, Joanna, for sharing your story! Having others to walk with
us in following God's commands is a huge blessing and great support
system! Remember this week that you are not alone! Can you share about a time
when God has used other Sabbath keepers to be a support system for
you? Until next week,
