My testimony isn't too exciting or involves a miracle or anything but it's pretty amazing to me. =) I was born and raised in church and I come from a mostly Christian family. My mom took my brothers and I to church, dad strayed away years ago and refuses to get back to the right path to God. I will continue to pray for him though until I see what I now can happen through God. Anyways, I was always lukewarm, just as the Bible says not to be. I wasn't on fire for God but at the same time I wasn't too far from Him. Until I was 15 when I met this guy. He was very influential to me because he was a few years old and into some pretty bad stuff. I never did drugs with him or anything but I did get into some bad stuff and began cussing every other word and not knowing if I believed in God or not. I even got it in my head that I didn't care if I went to Hell or not because that's where I was destined to be anyways. That went on for about a year and then I finally snapped out of it. It was like one day I was so low that I was reaching up to touch rock bottom and then through my tears God spoke to me. I broke up with my boyfriend and just doing that felt like a huge step. Then I slowly progressed to a better me. But all I was was just at rock bottom. That was 2 years ago. And for those two years I was so ashamed of God. So afraid for anybody to find out I was a Christian. I thought it was just awful, so embarrassing. And then last year I went to Aquire the Fire and it changed me forever. The part that I think changed me the most was this amazing hour long session of worship. The worship leaders couldn't get it to end because God was doing something great in that room. Ever since then, I worship God whole heartedly no matter who's around and I talk about Him and His greatness to anyone. I realized I was so wrong to be ashamed of the One who loved me through it all and who died such a tragic death for US, ME. Then He is so wonderful that he rose from it! How selfish was I to be ashamed of Him? Anyways, my testimony is that God pulled me through my worst time and brought me out even stronger. He is so wonderful and now I can proudly say I am on fire for Him! And I'm also happy I found this place because I like to communicate with fellow Christians and kind of have a support in that. =)
