I have been going to church ever since i was a baby. my parents were unevenly yoked. my dad didnt like when my mom went to church and he tried everything to get her to stay home nothing worked except shopping; but soon after it became regular she got right back in the church habit. when i was 10 i moved to Alabama and my dad had to work 4 my aunt and uncle to make ends meet. We got out of church 4 awhile and then dad got a job at teledyne and worked with alot of preachers. one preacher invited him to church and we went. we went to that church 4 a year b4 my dad got saved and became a preacher. I was 12 at this point and i knew of God but didnt have a relationship with him. I was visiting Ohio one summer and my papaw took me to the church i grew up in and i got saved or so i thought i was. i've been ridiculed all my life through elementary school so i thought jr high would be different...boy was i wrong. i felt noone cared about me and i felt alone because my dad didnt really pay attention and my mom worked at night alot. the next summer i stayed with my grandmother and began to start singing... i never knew this was my gift and how it affected ppl. I went to church with her but was too scared to get up and sing.
When i was a freshman in highschool my feelings got the best of me and i began to down myself because i felt like nobody cared about me anyways anyways. i didnt do it long because my dad found out and had me talk to a school counselor so i did and i began to feel better. i met my first real boyfriend my freshman year, he was 2 grades above me and the sweetest guy...so i thought. Everything was going great i was doing good in school and i had a friend i could trust and a boyfriend. after just 2 months he broke my heart, he said that i was a joke and wouldnt be caught dead with me. i wasnt really crushed because i wasnt in love with him but it stung. my sophmore year was the hardest year of my life. my grammie got really sick and we soon found out she had Lukemia, i had never been so scared. i began to pray to god that she would be ok she was with us 4 thanksgiving and christmas and then on February 8,2005 she passed away. I remember what she told me on christmas day though. and i'll never forget it she said "I love u and i'll be alive in ur heart but remember Jesus has a plan 4 u and he needs to come first in your life." after her death i felt like i had to be strong so i kept all my feelings in, i didnt let them out until i got home. i sang at her memorial service and was so shaky. after her death i went to church but i didnt pay attention my mind kept drifting. I never really came to know the lord til i was 16 at a valentines day service. i began to pray and i prayed uuntil tears began to pour out of my eyes and a woman came up beside me and she prayed and as soon as i got up she said, u have a voice and god wants u to use it and he's got so much in store 4 u.
my senior year everything was going great i had good friends, just got a new bf and our youth was growing. Cody made me feel lijke i was so special no guy ever made me feel like that and i thought he was the one. He made me feel special like i was the only girl on the planet but things changed as they always do and he began talkin with my best friend. i was 600 miles away and i asked him to choose and he chose her. i gave up on everything, i gave up god, i just gave it all up. my best friend found me in the bathroom crying my eyes out and told me to get over it which made it even worse.
I began to question god i asked him questions like "Am i that bad of a person?, Am i really that ugly?" (i meant to put this up higher) i've had a self-esteem and self-confidence issue since jr high.
I thought to myself i must deserve this but why. later that year i rededicated my life to christ but i backslid and two years later i found CC.
I rededicated my life to the lord at a revival in October of 2009.
CC has helped me alot i met my best friend in october and she has helped me out alot. I like that God has sent me a true friend whom i can talk to.

This testimony might not mean anything to yall but to me its not bout anyone but god and even though i have backslid so many times he was there and he loved thru it all. today i still have Self estteem and confidence issues and im scared of losing ppl in my life but God is working on me. i am a work in progress.

there's a little more i didnt share bc its a bit personal to me.

I know now that God can lead me through the fire and he has set a fire under me.
