Hello fellow Christians!! How are you?
Basically im writing this to tell what Gods done for me through out my life. So here we go:
To understand my life i have to start from my beginning, I've been growing up with an older sister who is exactly 13 months older than me so we are pretty close. Anyways my father hasn't really been the best dad around he tries but its hard for me to forgive him for what he's done in the past. Before my parents divorced(i was 3 when they did) my dad used to beat my mom and sister when he was drunk. He was drunk when both my sister and I were born even. But until like 6 or 7 years ago i didn't know any of this. I startedto really just "hate" him because of what he had done in the past and how he would still verbably abuse my mom over the phone and make her cry. I had always been daddy's little girl when i was little but now my relationship with him is so damaged. i lost track for a while there. Anyways It got really bad with my dad two years ago, i started cutting myself when i would get off the phone from fighting with him because he made me feel so bad about myself, like i wasn't up to his expectations. I started seeing that cutting wasn't helping my problems after i cut in front of my best friend an I found out she started to because she saw me do it. I felt horrible because then my sister found out about my cutting and she started to too. I then iI started telling them i was done with cutting and got them to stop to. Not long after i realized i was still cutting but for not even that big of reasons. I was cutting over boy problems and friend problems and still my dad issues. I then told myself alright enoughs enough i need to quite this but i cna't do it alone, i need your help god. After i said that i started cutting less and less until finally i stopped. It's been two years since and i can still see the scares of when i cut before, it reminds me that ill always have problems but i can find other solutions so that i can forget my problems. Since i barely ever notice them.
But yep thats was how God saved me from my dark pit of depression and got me to really appreciate life. My relationship with God is stronger than ever before now and im going to continue to strangthen it!
Thanks so much for reading and i hope it helps you or encourages you to Trust in God with all you've got!
 
I am glad you found God, and I am also glad you are not hurting yourself any more. When we realise we are precious to God, that we are his children and he only wants whats best for us, it makes the tough times easier to bear. Stay strong in your faith, and he promises he won't give us anything more than we can bear. I thank God for you.
 
Amazing. Just brilliant. And I thank you for sharing. I always love other people's testimony's. It just confirms how awesome our Lord truly is.
 
Praise God. I'm not sure if it should, but it amazes me how God can change a person's bad habit. Thank you for sharing!
 
Praise Jesus Kitkat_33 I am so happy He delievered you from cutting. Cutting yourself is sinful and makes you unclean

Le:19:28: Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD.
Le:21:5: They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.

I am so happy for you. Kitkat_33 make me a promise. I wish someone had told me this when I was your age.

1) Every morning when you wake up say "Good morning Jesus"

2) Pray for 15 minutes at least every morning.

3) Do 1 devotional every morning (Daily Bread has some or you can buy cheap at a book store) Takes 5-15 minutes

If you do these 3 things every morning and make a committment.

The Living God will show you great and marvelous things which you do not know.
 
nice KitKat! I am sure your story will help enlighten some who are trudging that path right now. Kudos for being wise enough to know that you needed God to overcome. *hug* :)
 
Thank you everyone for the kind words! God is great and im so greatful to him for helping me, i still have tough times with my dad but i still love him and i hope he can truely ask God for help because he says he does but he keeps up the abuse. Either way i shall still trust God and pray he keeps me safe and ends my moms suffering she does her best to raise my sister and I and she doesnt need to hear she's a horrible mom when she was the one that decided to quite drinking mainly for us. But yeah again thanks for the advice and other comments and verses =)
