Hi! I'm new to this christian forums place but so far i've been really impressed and i've seen the Lord in SOO many people its amazing!!
I thought though so people could get to know me, and know that i'm a christian, I would share my testimony with everyone.
Now mind you its not very interesting, but I was saved when i was around 7 years old. As all young kids I was a brat, every time my dad would read the bible or even talk about the Lord, I would grind my teeth and wish for him to stop soon so I could get back to playing! At that time my dad really pressed the Lord on us so that we would be saved at a young age, but i never listened. On a saturday i think it was which had been the worst day of my entire life because our aunt who we hadn't seen since we were 4 was soposed to come, but she couldn't because their car broke down and they had to turn around and go home, and also that night our grandmother called and said that our grandfather had died of the cancer he had been fighting for about 4 months. It was odd because a week before, our grandpa had disowned our whole family so it was really upsetting. after that I became a brat, i wouldn't clean i wouldn't do anything. So finly my mom just sent me to bed for the night. About 5 minutes after i was in bed my mom came up and was talking to me about how all the things I was doing disobeying her and not helping, made God sad because he died for us, and this was how I was acting in return. I don't know i think that from all the trouble that day, all the bad news and everything I felt a need to listen to my mom, and I was REALLY interested. I asked her to tell me more because i wanted to know about it. So she did, she told me everything opened her bible and even showed me scripture. I was sooooooo upset about the way I acted that I asked my mom to forgive me. She said the person I needed to ask forgivness from was God not her. So I asked her to help me and she did, and that night I became a christian. But I thought it would be totaly easy after that, like nothing would go wrong, i would never sin. So I struggled alot after that. I never really started walking with the Lord untill about 4 years ago. But i'm still thankfull that Lord did all that to help me! :)

Sorry i had to bore you with all that. I felt it would be a good way to start off. :)

Laivine, it's never boring when someone shares how their life has changed because of God.
You may think your story is boring compared to others, but it isn't.
The theme of walking with God should read like a love story, not an action movie.

It doesn't matter what someone goes through or is healed of or what miracles happen in their lives as they live for God, because the most glorious and powerful thing is God loves us at an individual level.

Miracles and such are soon forgotten, but being loved by God never is.
Because God loves us, as we continue to seek Him out for a deeper relationship with Him, our love for Him grows, this is the greatest miracle.
And it is this that brings tears to the eyes, not the healing or miracle.
