My husband, whom I loved dearly, was critically ill for a month and finally died. I wanted to die also to be with him. In a grief group at a Church of the Nazarene, the group leader advised me to go home and cry out to God that I couldn't bear the pain and bitterness anymore. I did, screaming and crying on the floor. Gradually the bitterness eased. I began attending church and reading the Bible. It was making sense! I read about longing to be with our departed loved ones. Just what I felt. I began to feel the Holy Spirit during worship. I sang and cried and prayed and read. The rest is history. Can't give you a date and time, but it's real! I am 180 degrees from where I had been. I am happier than I have ever been in my life. I've never looked back!

I became a christian at the age of four....it seemed so much easier to understand and believe back then. In high school, I began to deny the fact that I was a christian, which inside, was killing me, but I did whatever I could to make people around me comfortable and for the approval, non-christian friends that is, and then college came along, and for some odd reason out of all the public big ten schools I picked, a couple of them high on the list for big party schools, I decided to go to a private christian college, and it really strengthened my relationship. I was really scared that the only reason I was strong was because I was surrounded by christian fellowship everyday, but when I graduated I remained strong, and feel like my faith and trust in God became more with trusting in him to provide for me, with such a bad economy and every other little detail in my life. It's been quite a ride throughout the ages, falling and having Christ pick up again, doubts and questioning, but I think today it has made me a stronger person, and definetly a stronger christian.
I sometimes wish I had more of a testimony to say to people, because it does not seem like much, but God knows how much we can handle....and I should and am satisfied with that. It's an ongoing process....once I think I got it, God shows me something else.

I grew up in a christian family so basicly always believed in God. But always saw Him as my creator who sat somewhere high up in the sky watching over us. But I didnt know him personally like having a relationship etc. I was just living a good life (not doing anything crazy) and going to church and youthgroup etc. But then when I was 15 I was at a teenconference in germany, I was part of the teenchoir singing on stage etc and my dad was working at the first aid. That conference btw was first place I saw Holy Spirit work etc. I didnt really understand it but had this awesome peace in my heart about it so never doubted about it. Then last day of the conference my 13 month old brother got run over by a car. Car drove backwards, over his back, then cuz of all people screaming in panic the lady drove forward again and stood still on my babybrothers head. My parents saw it happen and my dad pushed the car off my brother, picked him up and started running to first aid. while running he saw in my brothers eyes he was dying (being a doc the signs were really clear) and then my bro didnt give signs of life anymore. They jumped in a car anyways and drove to hospital wich wasnt to far away. All the while they were praying (and praying in tongues), also at the service (where i was at) they prayed. 3000 teens where on their knees for my brother crying out to God for 15 minutes. As they aproached the hospital my brother started crying again. God raised him from the dead. They did all sorts of tests and scans etc etc, there was nothing wrong!! they couldnt find anything! Praise God! the only thing he had were bruises. Amazing! When I came to the hospital and saw my brother, saw his eyes, beaming, You could just see the Holy Spirit shine through him....thats when I realised God is really real and He is still the same as what we read about in the bible, He is stil very much at work, His power is real, His healing is real. And I realised God is interested in me personally, just as my brother was important for Him that he lived again. God loves me and wants a relationship with me and since then I have grown so much and know God really in my heart not just in my head. I love my Daddy!

I was 4 years of age when i got saved...........

My mom was cooking spaghetti one night, and she popped in a take of a minister named, David Ring. He has several palsy(sp?) and he can barely talk, but for some reason, when he starts preaching, God just opens up ur ears and you can hear ever single word he says.
Well anyway, at the end of the tape he told us how we could get saved, so i just said those words "jesus save me". Not very dramatic or n-e-thing, but thats pretty much how i got saved.

God Bless,
AB

HERES MINE
I got saved at fourteen. I was pushed into hiding my witchcraft from my dad and my mom encouraged it and taught me .. I didnt want to be baptised but he made me so I played along and did the whole pool thing.
I didnt know God until the night my mom almost died. She was very abusive and evil to me ALL the time but she didn't deserve to die. I had been casting without ritual a long time and one night I had enough. She hurt me badly and I called out to my friends who showed up in my dreams and real life occasionally. For her to die in a car wreck. I didnt think anything of it until I was visiting my dad for the weekend and that night I got a call from my grandma. My mom had been in a wreck with my stepdad and they had to use the jaws of life to extract her! Well i was so shaken I thanked a God I barely knew. I honestly thought I was a christian witch because my spiritualist church called the thing they refer to as infinite intelligence "god" My moms marriage fell apart and she abandoned me to my grandma who wisely sent me to my dads. My dad was really patient about the getting out of witchcraft thing and let me carry my astrology and numerology books around til he sat down and explained the truth. We burned my stuff and I threw away my rosary.. hehe dont ask.
I started going to the revival in town and got slain, saved and more.
