This is my testimony of my journey to and with our Lord.
Being in bed all the time, can't move and have pain and yet I am happy, why? Because I have accepted Jesus as my savior. I know my pain is temperary. As I think about my journey, I think where I would be if I had not accepted Jesus at a young age.
I was 12 and been to church for years and learned about God. One night I just accepted Jesus and felt good, but still had much to learn.
When I was 16 I got really sick. I had tubes in my nose and throat, I wanted to die. I asked God why am I going through this and felt he didn't love me. Soon I got a trach, it was scary for a while but I was thankful for it. A few weeks later I was weaned off the ventilator but a few days later, lungs collapsed. I went back on the ventilator. The doctor thought it was time to let go but I wanted to live. I would need ventilator at night.
Later that year I got an apartment with my brother Josh. I knew for sure God loved me.
When I was 20 I needed more care and needed to be in a hospital. I was sad but God gave me what I need. Everything wasn't good though, since I couldn't get to church, God was put into the background. Around May 2005 (22 at the time) I realized I didn't know God as much anymore and that scared me. I asked God to help me know him and be close to him again. It took a while but now I know him well and I feel him again.
Now I thank him every day for everything he has given me. I thank him for helping me through hard times. I thank him for staying with me. I thank him for his love and mercy.
