Last year, I had the incredible honor of seeing MercyMe in concert, and it was a night I’ll never forget. As I was driving today, I found myself blasting their song “Say I Won’t,” and I couldn’t help but get emotional. Every time I hear it, it stirs something deep inside me, not only because it resonates with my journey of overcoming challenges and proving others wrong, but also because of the profound reminder it gives me about the power of perseverance. This song came out days before my graduation from College. I was blown away by it to the point it's on my graduation cap!
The song feels like an anthem for my life—so many times, I’ve been told that I couldn’t do something, that I’d never make it, but I’ve always managed to push through, proving the doubts wrong. So many times people have told me I couldn't do it and then I did. This blog is even something I was not suppose to do because I was not supposed to be alive right now. So SAY I WON'T AND I'LL KEEP PROVING YOU WRONG.
However, there’s another layer to the emotion it stirs in me. It reminds me of the honor it is to carry my testimony, to be a witness to the goodness and power of God. The honor to be able to be His walking testimony to share my story with people because He gets the glory.
It often brings tears to my eyes as I reflect on how precious this responsibility is—to share His story, to hold His truth close within my heart and mind. God could choose anyone to bear His testimony, He could choose anyone to walk this path. And yet, He chose me. That realization fills me with such deep gratitude and awe. It is, without a doubt, the greatest honor of my life, and every day I am humbled by the trust He has placed in me.
So as I listened to that song today, I was reminded not just of the challenges I’ve faced, but of the honor and privilege of being chosen to carry this message. It’s a responsibility I don’t take lightly, and it inspires me to continue living with faith, knowing that His purpose is greater than anything I could have imagined.
