I always have such an odd time talking about my "testimony." I'll try to be as well, comprehensive about it as I can, but we'll just have to wait and see. So, I think the best way to do this is with a bulleted list (exciting, huh?). So, here are the things that lead to me being truly "Born Again"
So, with all of these factors coming into play, the Summer between my 6th and 7th grade year was when I was saved. Nothing too uncommon, I suppose. I've been very blessed to be a very, uhm, forgiving Christian. Not just to others, but to God Himself. I won't coddle you guys, God does some intense stuff in that Old Testament, and sometimes, you wanna get made when He doesn't intervene the way you think He should. Like when someone you know dies.
And I'm not trying to say that God NEEDS forgiveness, because He doesn't. He doesn't do anything that requires forgiving, but still, it's meant to be a relationship, right? So, why not treat it like one? I need to forgive Him when He hurts my feelings.
There's really not a lot more to my so called "testimony" than that. I loved God. I still do. It's just....now things are a bit shaky.
- My parents raising me in a very Christ centered enviornment
- Most of my bestest friends in the world being Christian (at the time)
- Coming right out of battles with a minor case of anorexia and multiple suicide attempts
- A very supportive church family
- Scientific evidence substantial enough to convince me that God is real
- Being able to see Jesus Christ sort of as a collaboration role-model/older Brother fiure
