Interesting. I had just put on random music to listen to while I tend to some computer work … Barber’s Adagio for Strings was playing when I got a referral to this blog. VERY powerful! Love the progression and, of course, the Power behind it!
Blessings and peace!

Thanks, Annie. I have a prodigal son who has twice reached a place of what we thought was brokenness only to bounce right back into messes. This honest photo testimony really gives me renewed hope! What He did for one, He’ll surely do for another! Thanks!

  Oh thank you…you know, I have been painstakingly looking for images that make it clear we can reuse them, there are not copyright restrictions,etc. It’s HARD! But God always blesses. If you have any tips for me, I’d love to hear. I don’t want that aspect of things to make this less than a blessing for others or for me!

great imagery – pictures do say a thousand words. It is the Gospel in imagery.
Annie – Just be sure you have permission to use them all or they are not violating copyrights. If you don’t, that is against the law and you can be sued. So please take them off and subscribe to a stock photo site where you pay for the license to legally use the photos. May God bless your witness to His mercy.

  Hello! Aah, thank you so much. I really love your writings. Yes, I have been painstakingly checking that out with the images I have been using as I learned that not all that were “out there” that said they were copyright free really were! Please let me know if you see any that I have made any mistakes about that you know of…I have been sticking to the ones that need no attribution and say they are copyright “free for reuse” – mostly from Microsoft and Morguefile and Pixabay. There are a select few I use that do ask for attribution. It’s complicated isn’t it? What do you do for your images? Do you just stick to one site? I would love to learn from you, as it all makes me nervous, even when they say we are free to share.

This is a moving testimony. What was the moment, event, or person that brought the change to follow Jesus?

- Annie B on February 12, 2013 at 3:54 pm said:
  
  Well, I think, honestly, it was when I found that my mother was going to pass away – her cancer was terminal, and about five years ago, when she was moving toward the end, I realized it all…that I needed to make Him the LORD of my life, the CENTER….that turning from sin and all the past was crucial. He brought me back to Him through that whole experience. I am so very grateful.

Anne,
This is very good and very creative! Thanks for sharing it! 🙂

As I was going through all the pictures of your testimony, it reminds me of a post I wrote called The 3 Objections: http://evenifministries.wordpress.com/2012/08/29/the-3-objections/

It is the day of judgement and 2 people stand before our Lord . . . and the Accuser (Satan) . . .

Thank you so very much – how encouraging you are to me. You are more than welcome to show it to anyone you wish. I just go to google and type Eyes Wide Open Anne’s Testimony in Pictures, and the link pops right up for it. https://ambirkelo.wordpress.com/2013/02/03/pictures-paint-the-words-better-than-i-can-annes-testimony/
  Be blessed today and this week coming up. Let me know if you show it to the church if others are inspired by it and if anyone asks for prayer so I can pray for them, K? Bless you!

    Hope you get to listen to my audio devos. I put them out Mon-Fri. Be blessed. Ed

    Well, awesome news! That is how I have envisioned doing it too if I ever present it to my church or anything – I was thinking of having our worship leader put music to it too. I am glad you did that and that the youth, especially were inspired. And that is great that some ladies wish to blog now! Nice! I can’t wait to spend some time listening to the audio devos – I hope to do so tonight a bit after running errands. Thank you, dear one – you are an inspiration and a blessing! Annie 🙂
