Topic: Space (01/23/06)
The ocean waves crashed against the large jagged rock that I sat on. I stared off into the distance oblivious to the salt water that splashed at me. The vast openness of the blue water was hypnotic, so peaceful and serene. This was the perfect place to think, to clear my head. He was asking so much of me. What if I let him down? What if I couldn’t hold up my end of the deal? What if I couldn’t handle all of the consequences that went with it? But, what if I can? What if I can?

I leaned back on my elbows and closed my eyes. As I considered my options, I heard a breath of a whisper declare, “My love, with me at your side, nothing will be too great a task. Your life will be blessed and the space that you feel now in your heart will be filled. Is there any other way? Will you be loved by anyone more? Is doing all that I ask really too much a sacrifice to be with me? Who else would die for you?”

Warm tears streamed down my face. No, there was no other way. There was only one answer to be with the one that loved me unconditionally, who accepts me with all of my flaws and who will forgive me every single time I ask.

I couldn’t sit down any longer. I had to stand up! Gusts of wind threatened to push me down, but my feet were planted firmly on that rock. My body trembled with excitement! I raised my hands to heaven and cried out, “Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and Savior! I want to spend the rest of my life doing your will! I want to spend eternity with you in the Kingdom of Heaven! Jesus, I love you and I thank you for giving your life so I could be free!”

Nice descriptive and touching testimony. Very vivid. There are some adverb and pronoun issues, but nothing that can't be quickly fixed.
