I AM (Video)

If you will recall, I blogged a few weeks ago about Patty and Katie performing a song/drama to the inspirational song "I AM" by Nicole Nordeman at our church's Ladies Christmas Tea. Yesterday, they performed it for our whole church. (There was a little mix-up with the music so it starts a few seconds late.) For those of you who don't know us, the little girl in the beginning is our daughter Katie. The second young lady is April Henderson, a wonderful college student at our church. The third lady is Beth Robertson, one of our closest friends. The beautiful bald lady at the end is our wonderful Wife and Mom, Patty.

There were many a tear wiped at the end. As you can see they received a standing ovation. We had a guest speaker, Ken Freeman, and he was so moved at their performance that he inquired about Patty and her situation before he got up to preach. During his sermon, he spoke about Patty many times during his message. Part of his message was that through Jesus, as believers, we can become overcomers of all (John 16:33). He told the crowd that he was deeply affected that Patty could do that drama the way she did. He told them that she is "...an Overcomer." Amen.

Patty,
I went to Halls and was 2 years younger than you. Someone told me about your story and your site. To God be all the glory for all He is doing through this storm! Thanks for your sharing of Christ's strength made perfect in weakness. The video was amazing. Praying with you,
Stephanie Winstead Willis
