I was saved when I was 13 at a local church camp, but also there has never been a point in my life where I didn't know that Jesus was real and that He was my savior. However, my testimony doesn't come into play until I was 22.
I was hopelessly lost in the world of sex. Even though I had been saved for nearly ten years, I was still very much a baby Christian. I never took time to read the Word, go to church. All I did pretty much was pray. Anyway, I was one of the "outcasts" in high school because I wanted to wait until marriage before having sex. Well I got down on myself and like a typical Christian I blamed God for everything, so I went down the road of lust.
After many partners, I finally met a girl who I thought I loved. (Smack!) We pretty much did what ever we wanted and didn't pay too much attention to the reprocussions that God would soon be giving us. To make the story short. This girl became pregnant and without telling me anything, she separates herself from me and has an abortion. I was absolutely destroyed when I found out this news. I was depressed beyond belief to the point that I quit college, secluded myself and did pretty much nothing but set in my room and cry. I was 22 years old and I had to call my mom home from work so I could cry in her lap. Man I was completely out of it.
What was awesome is I had a friend who helped me through this. I never turned to answers through drinking or drugs, because I knew God was trying to get my attention and He did. So one day after horribly crying, I finally said, God my life is yours, will you help me? And as SOON as I began praying again, the burden that had stripped my heart went away and I felt a joy and peace that did surpass all understanding. I knew that my baby was in the very capable and always loving hands of the Lord and honestly what better place to be? He healed me and delivered me and as the Psalms says, took me out of the horrible pit and the miry clay, set my feet upon the rock and established my footsteps!
There was a chapter my friend showed me which was 2nd Samuel 22. It's a long chapter, but one worth reading. It's almost the same as Psalm 18. To sum it up it pretty much says that God fights for us, will always fight for us and when we are beaten down and attacked by the devil, He gets furious and destroys our enemies. God definitely did that in my life. He destroyed the enemies, gave me a heart to forgive the woman for the abortion and soon after I was called into the drama ministry where I now serve in my church as the drama director.
