Katy Nichole -- Hold On -- w/ testimony (Live)

[@victorianguyen6620]

This song has anointed me the very first time time heard it. I burst into tears. My pain is so great these days. Yesterday I felt bummed when I woke up. Do what I always do. Picked up phone to check the weather. Instead there was a picture of Katy's New York Sessions video, acoustic version of Hold On. I started playing it because it was a new video. I suddenly realized God put it there just for me, to see it first thing in the morning. When I realized what just happened, I burst into tears. It was like when Mary was at the tomb looking for Jesus and He called her name "Mary". I didn't recognize Him, then all of a sudden I did. It was so amazing! I felt God there saying, hold on. Im not done with you either. I want Katy to be your friend as you have asked me to. I did ask the first time I heard Hold On "can Katy be my best friend"? God's working on this request in His own way. Answering my prayer. Im 3x's her age, but I love her as a friend. I hope I can meet her some day soon. Would just love to have a cup of coffee with her. I still struggle with sadness and depression, which I had pretty much my whole life. Since I was a young girl. I too had no where to turn at one time and took 21 aspirins (my age at the time). Fortunately aspirins just make ur ears ring if taken in large quantities. God wasn't done yet with me either. My father and stepmother didn't really care all that much. I drove myself to the hospital that morning and was put on suicide watch. Fortunately I was dating a young man who stayed with me throughout the night ( the nurse told my father and stepmother why should they loose a days work to stay with me). God bless my boyfriend at the time. He's the one who opened my eyes to see that their conduct was not loving. That his parents would be there in a heart beat if it were him. Unfortunately I Broke His heart when I didn't marry him 2 months before our wedding date was set. But he found a wife and many years later I married my husband (of 23 years now) We adopted 2 girls from china many years ago. Our youngest has autism and needs 24/7 care. So, to bring all this back to the present, I have to be with my daughter for 5 weeks (2 down, 3 to go) causing my bummed out attitude on life that morning. Today I realize how thankful I need to remember that God is providing for us everyday. My husband is absolutely faithful every day to us by working extra hours to make end meet and take care of me and and our autistic daughter. (Our oldest is on her own, but its only been 2 years and we help her w/ car ins and health ins as well. I love her so much. Please keep her in prayer that she will always be pure ans holy for God her whole life. TY so much) Our autistic daughter will start school again in September. I can only focus on taking care of her, and i know God has given her to us as a gift. We didn't know she was autistic until we brought her home from China. Many years have past and she is now 16 still needing 24/7 care. It is okay but hard. She is very active and screams a lot. But she loves music as much as I do and she loves the Lord! We both play piano. I used to teach it, but God gave her the gift to play on her own. My husband loves her so much. I am so thankful for this. She also has albinism, which we knew before we went to bring her home. Anyway, im rambling right now so I will just say thank you God for listening to me now and to all my prayers. I thank Him for the gift of Katy and how he saved her life and soul and for the gift of reaching so many people that he chose her to minister to. He knows who would need to hear her voice(boy can we hear her! Such a strong voice! He knows the world is deaf to Him, so he needed a loud voice to get our attention!) Im so glad he saved her for us to hear Him. To make Him real to us, like I never knew Him before. Ive been Christian all my life, but never knew Him like I do now that He has "unleashed" Katy to the world. And I mean that with all due respect when I say unleashed. Thank You God!!! I love You! And all those You have given me to love. May I love like You!❤❤Thank you all for reading this if you happen to. I feel God told me to "go ahead. Don't be shy. Its okay". Also my oldest brother died Dec 5, 22 who was severely handicapped, non verbal and sweet as can be. Im still grieving and have only Jesus who really understands the sorrow I want to express. No one else I know could ever understand the depth. God bless all who are sorrowing right now. We are all united with Christ on this one! Thank You Jesus! In Your Holy Name I pray blessings on all people who are sorrowing at this time for any reason. ❤💜🙏💞Better stop now! Good night faithful followers of Jesus! God be praised!❤💜💞💐🙏

I wish I would’ve been able to go to watch that concert while they were in Scottsdale. Unfortunately, I am unable to be in crowds of people. I did listen to Katy Nichole‘s live interview with the release of her album on XM radio several months ago I was in a very dark place. My head was not in a good space, I was driving down the highway at 80. All I wanted to do was die. She talked about this song and then she sang it. I knew at that moment God was speaking to me that I needed to hold on gonna be OK. Is it OK now I have good days and bad but Jesus is right there. Thank you, Katy
