Ok...so I like tv. It's probably not a surprise to anyone reading this, but it's true. And one of my favorite shows (though I am a little embarrassed to admit it :) ) is America's Next Top Model. I just think it is so interesting how they do the photo shoots, hair/make up, etc. and plus the reruns are on like three different channels. So you can pretty much catch it any time of day!
Anyway, my blog isn't really just about that show :) I actually heard one of the models say something really interesting. She said, "There is no testimony without a test." Now, being that she's a model, she probably didn't come up with that quote herself! HA! :) But I thought that it was really interesting. Because mainly peoples' stories, or testimonies, are usually about the difficult things they've encountered throughout their life and how by God's grace they have overcome. So as we struggle through the daily grind and face challenges, we can be comforted by the fact that God has put us through this challenge to strengthen our faith and to maybe help someone else overcome. Because, "There is no testimony without a test."
