I saw this human video done tonight actually at a friends Sr. Recital, and I had seen it done before as well. God really just laid it on my heart, and it feels like such a burden that I need to share with all of you. Consider this a challenge, or whatever you would like to call it. Honestly I was just going to have this as a challenge for you all then as I started to type it became more of my testimony. So read it and then watch the videos at the end, and if you don’t read all of it please at least watch the videos.
Ok first let me say this that I know some of you are young teens and facing a lot of things within school. I know because I have been there. Had struggled with things that I did not like that became a part of who I was. I still tried hard to seek after God, and felt that I was doing an awesome job at it. But I didn’t realize that the things that I struggled with where so deep-rooted in my life that I couldn’t get rid of them. To tell you the truth this is hard to type because I haven’t really shared my testimony at all. Never thought that it meant that much. So let me rewind and start over. I was born and raised in the Church. I would say that I have been a Christian all my life. Ever since i can remember. I remember praying as a little kid asking God into my heart because I didn’t want to go to Hell. Since then I have always sought after God, and what He would do for me. Ight so I was baptized in the Spirit when I was about 7 and baptized in water when I was 8ish. I really started to seek after God. Had such a hunger to see his face.
Well middle school came and I wasn’t the coolest kid in school. Most of the time I got picked on, and made fun of. I didn’t date any one didn’t do drugs or alcohol. So for the most part I seemed like a good little Christian. Well that’s when I started to flirt a lot with girls. I would try to prove to the guys that I could get any girl I wanted to and talk with them, this was one thing actually that I did up till I came to college. Still never dated really, but I did have some crushes. So in middle school I went to Blizzard which is a youth retreat my youth group goes to. That was an amazing time when I really saw who God was. He blasted the liven daylights out of me. Cant tell you what all happened other then when I got up off the floor I had a even greater passion for Him. I still though just couldn’t fit in at school. I was the dork. I was tall and skinny so guys would tell me that I couldn’t get a girl, and if I did they would get her from me, that I needed to go into the weight room. Different things like that. So the thing I talked about at first, there was some habits I picked up because of what went on, struggles that I went through in my quite so that none others could see. Which started when I was thirteen, and hung onto me till I was 21. I struggled so much with it that it hurt me so greatly. I wanted so badly to hear God say well done my good and faithful servant to be like David a man after Gods own heart. So many times though it would get me down. It made a separation between me and God, because I hid it and would not let it go, or let it out. So finally I have had victory over it.
Then also I want to say that for so long I felt that my testimony meant nothing because it isn’t one of I struggles with sex, drugs, or nothing like that. I feel that my testimony isn’t that God pulled me out of the mire and clay, but it is that He is ever faithful. That there have been so many times in my life I felt that God was so far away from me. That I couldn’t even get close to him. There is a song by Skillet called Come My Way. That’s the way I felt for a long time. But looking back I can see how God has showed me so much, how he has been there that he is my provider, my shield and my strength, my shelter. He has been my everything. He is truly I am (totally another sermon there..) There is so many other things that God did but ask me about them because I am tired of being quite I’m tired of Satan stopping words from coming out of my mouth. So I hope this comes out that no matter where or what your going through that you know God is there fighting for you…protecting you…God Bless..
