About Me: my Testimony
I went to church as a kid until my dad passed away when I was eight
years old. Then I quit going to church and my mom and I moved to her
home town. My mom and I quit going to church for a few years. Then, at
the age of 15, I asked my grandpa if I could go to church with him and
he said yes. But I wasn't saved yet. I went to church for a few months
and then my nephew, who is also my age, told me about the Sinner's
Prayer. But I thought that was something only bad people would say. But
then one summer night that same year I was on the internet looking up
the Sinner's Prayer and I said it. I thought that all my problems would
go away, but they didn't. Not long after I became a Christian my grandma
died. I remember being angry with God. I remember I got the news that my
grandma was put on life support the week of Christmas 1999. And that
same night I went home slammed my front door and yelled at God for doing
that to me. For the longest time after that I couldn't feel God. I
couldn't tell if God was listing to me or not. When I would pray I would
say "My God, My God, Why have you forsaken me? Why don't you listen?" I
felt like God wasn't there anymore. But after that I grew up angry on
the inside. But God never gave up on me. He always loved me and still
does. Then one summer I was sitting on my couch and I caught myself
slipping from the Lord. I said to myself "How can I get back into it
really heavy again?" Then I heard a bang and looked outside and the
fireworks were going off and God spoke to me and said: "You see those
fireworks and you see how they are beautiful to you? Well you are
beautiful to me." I always thought that my actions had hurt God but God
spoke to me one and said "You cant hurt me remember I am LOVE." Over the
years even when I felt like I have been slipping from God, Gods radical
bottomless, unending amazing love HE always draws me back to HIM. Now
today I love people. As of now I am trying to figure out what God wants
me to do with my life. God is so Amazing.
