Hello first let me introduce yself im Blake Jenkins And I have what some people might call a powerful testimony. I am 15 almost 16 i made the biggest choice of my life on feb. 23rd 2009 i was a boy that had no respect for jesus girls teachers my parents which now i only have 1 since my mom abused me. see i use to come from a poor family we didnt know when our next meal would be or if we would have a nice cozy bed to lay our head and My mom was one of those moms that only cared bout herself and what she wanted for herself. so my testimony starts like this. i Was walking home one night with her and my sister in the winter(no car) and we had just bought groceries and all of a sudden i slipped on ice and the milk i was carrying had hit the ground next to me and busted open i was ten at the time you know like i would put my body and pain before something like milk well my mom didnt think that way she cared about the millk over her own son and as she saw that i had busted the milk she cae up to me as i was on my knees and hands trying to get up and she took her foot and kicked e in the side where my ribs were and shattered a couple ribs (we didnt have the oney to go to the hospital so i dont know how many ribs she broke but i do remeber the pain the horrible pain) after i could stand to my feet i ran home as fast as i possibly could i got to the trailor that we were living and went to my roo and slammed my door this was the worse of the abuses that she did but wasnt the last well time went on and i decided jesus wasnt real if he was then why would he do this to me so i gave up my faith to follow the devil. Soon after that i et a girl that i thaught was the one for me and we dated a month or two after we started dating me and her brother started getting in trouble with the cops (breakin windows, egging cops, beating little kids in alleys) stuff as bad as it gets at this time i had no contact with y o i was living with my gf after all the abuse my mo put me through well it lasted awhile till my mom came back in the picture i knew she would but i told her that i wasnt coming home. She said what ever and left i watched her cross the black road over to the street where my faith was shattered i soon got into sexual sin with My gf i was living with we had sex every day for 2 and a half months i knew it was wrong but the devil had control over me at this time well i got kicked out after her mom found out and i never saw that girl again
Foster care in jersyville was the next stop after the saw my mom wasnt fit to take care of me and my sister. We got to the new hoe and found out that we had christain foster parents(you can get the hint) i couldnt stand them at all i stayed up until 4am each night crying thinking that i would never have a real family again i knew what to exspect in a year getting tossed from home to home until your 18 well thank god that my dad which my mom told me was a drugy (which hes not, hes a awesome pastor) i couldnt trust him but he got custidy over us and
i got back to where i started a small town i was 11 at the time of this now at 11 i got put on probation for destroying a car with a baseball bat y dad was ticked but i could care less. i then got lazy at school failiingclass cursing at teachers and my dad i hit jr. high and it went down hill from there i got into alot of trouble throwing trash cans down stairs putting germ ex in teachers chairs. you know drinkin on weekends at 13 i started having sexual intocuorce again but never like sex just oral(which is still reallly wrong)
my dad made me go to hurch and it took me 2 years to care about jesus i would go through the motions of church then go home and do the sae sins that i confessed at church i soon was into death sin like sin that could kill i have never seen nor heard of this jesus is what me and my dad would fight about well you have to have faith is what my dad would say and i would snap saying i could care less what the blank happens if jesus is who he says he is then he will have to prove hiself to me.
The ngiht of sunday Feb. 23rd i went to a youth night thing and thats when i saw jesus the worship was strong i had to fight on the holy spirit i didnt want to give in i thaught my life was perfect blah blah you know the same lines everyone uses well i have the whole life time to choose yeah i was one of them idiots at 14 you know a month before 15 i gave up my life was to bad i could do it i couldnt live up to these standards well this night showed me different at the end of my pastors (not my dad) seron he called for altar call and everyone responded sept for me he called to more times before he said theres someone out in the crowd that jesus has put on my heart.I looked around and i was the only one in the crowd he got off the stage and came in to the crowd for me i was about to dart out the door but my youth pastor came around the other side i then got prayed for and i started bawling i gave my life to jesus that night and i never looked back now im a strong fired up christian with a beatiful christain gf and alot of freinds and family i have to give thanks to god he never let go off my life even when i told him 2 i love jesus.
so i hope this will touch you guys im a great man of god is what ive been told i love to read the bible write songs go to church and play guitar thnks for reading

im almost sixteen i will be on march 23rd and i gave my life to jesus on feb.23rd 2009

Amen that God saved you =)
Wow you really went through a lot at such a young age... Did you ever get your ribs checked out?
Like after you lived with your foster parents or dad?

Thanks for sharing your testimony =D
