My Testimony!
My life before Christ:
I grew up in a Christian home and went to church every Sunday... But I really did not enjoy church. I only went to church, because I knew it was something we did every week. But I really didn't have a longing to learn anything. As I was growing up in the church, I became very bitter towards my parents, but didn't think I had a problem with my attitude, so I continued down that path.
The Turning Point:
After several months of being at Cornerstone (my church), the Lord started working on my heart... I started listening to the sermons that were preached on Sundays and wanting to learn from them and realizing I needed to listen with the intent of learning.
I also attended a Bible study for mothers and daughters... One day at one of the Bible studies, there was a college woman that came to speak to us girls. She shared her testimony with us and I realized that she was a mirror image of what I was being like when she was younger. After hearing her testimony, I realized thatt I was missing something... I didn't have Christ in my heart. I came home and pondered the rest of the dayt about how I needed a Savior, and I wanted to have that joy like this woman had. She found her joy in the Lord and I wanted that same thing.
That night, I came home and sat down with my parents and shared all that was on my heart. That night, I received Christ as my Lord and Savior.
My Life after I Accepted Christ:
The Lord has been growing me in so many ways. One big thing that has grown me so close to the Lord is: When I started high scholl, I started suffering from anxiety. It has been a difficult and a hard journey with anxiety... But God has helped me to find my strength in Him when I am weak. Daily I have been learning to put my trust in the Lord and to depend on Him in every situation.
There are some days when I have felt alone or felt like I can't deal with it anymore, but ten I am reminded that the Lord will never leave me. He is the King of my life, and I can trust in Him. My relationship with Christ is the most intimate and most amazing relationship that I could ever and will ever have.
This is not my story! All that I have and will ever accomplish in this life is Christ's Story and I want to live this Story for Him.
