This Testimony Tuesday is a long one, but so worth the read. This story reminded me exactly why we do what we do. Thank you for the reminder 🙂

"I rarely write reviews, so I'm setting a record for longest review/testimony on this one. For those who prefer a quick review; if you're searching for your dream table, contact Greg Rejoice Home now. For those who want to hear the testimony, please continue below.
On my mission to find the perfect dining table for my dream home, I found Rejoice Home. The wait list was long, and I didn't know it yet, but God knew the wait needed to be longer, so he could use Greg to pray over my family. I don't often talk about God, religion, or my family on social media, but I'm making an exception because of what Greg did for me and my family.
Any table builder can build you a table, but can your builder be a witness to you? WILL your builder find a way to do God's work through his work? This is something this world just simply needs more of.
These photos will show you a gorgeous table, custom built for me, but it's just a gorgeous table. What these photos won't show you is my story about my brother and this table.
This table is just a table, one I expected to have delivered in Feb/March. God knew I needed the delivery to be delayed, and so it was delayed until the end of June. If you know me (and Greg didn't know me), then you know my sister in law is the love of my life, but her husband (my brother) is my hero, my son's hero, and the love of daughter's life, as all big brothers and uncles should be. This is important because prior to June, my family's hero took a hard blow via medical news you never want to receive. So we "didn't cry" (we cried), we prayed, and we asked for prayer privately.
After the devastating news, because my table was delayed, Greg messaged me about the delivery date. I shared the news with him about my brother, and without hesitation he sent me a verse to share with my brother, "Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree; And it shall be to the Lord for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off." This is the prayer Greg prayed for my hero, as he anointed my custom table with cypress and myrtle oils, you won't see that in the photos, but it is by far the most incredible detail of this table and I cannot thank Greg enough for this spiritual treasure, which is so much more than just a table.
This table was delivered less than two weeks ago, everyday I see this table I'm reminded my brother is going to beat this, because....
Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. (Greg and I agree) For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. (Many more than two or three gathered together for my brother at this table last week)."
