A recent find from MC years

This is the testimony that I wrote and delivered during my MC and Extern year. I thought it was so fun to read back on it and remember what God has done in my life and through the lives of everyone who tossed and turned over writing the perfect testimony:

"Hi my name is Morgan and I am going to tell you about my 18 year long game of hide and seek. I have grown up in the church all my life so one would that I would not have to search so long to discover God as my father but it took me 18 years. I knew Him s an idea, as a concept, even as an Almighty Judge, Ruler and Creator but not as someone who loves me. Because I didn't see Him as my Father, I didn't act as His daughter. I became a "tomboy" from about ages 7 through 15. I wore boys clothes, did boy things and in imaginary games, I was the leading man. I was, in essence, one of the guys. I didn't realize that God loved me and called me to be His princess. His daughter of destiny. It didn't even occur to me that every time I made a wish to be a boy, it grieved His fathering heart. Deep down every little girl just wants to be wrapped in a hug and told they are loved and are beautiful but those words scared me. I didn't think anyone could love me, I didn't think I was beautiful, I didn't think I was a daughter and I didn't want to be a princess. I came into MC's and I could feel God calling me just to be a little girl again but I put a wall up against it. People would try to hug me or tell me I was pretty but I would reject them. It was the best day when I finally heard God telling me He loved me, I felt Him wrap me up in a giant bear hug and say "Welcome Home Morgan", when I saw Him as my Father and He called me Princess. I found that inner spot that did want to be held, that did want to be called beautiful, that did want to be loved. Now I want to be His little girl, His daughter, His princess, His joy and delight. Its what makes me want to live for Him because there is nothing like His love. I finally reached the finale of my 18 year long game of hide and seek and the thing I discovered was that God wasn't hiding. He was right in front of me I just didn't want to see Him. It was Him who found me."
