Hi, I am fascinated by hearing stories about when other Christian's accepted Christ as their savior. The details of God's work in a person's life never cease to amaze me. So, I was wondering if anyone woud like to share their testimony. I thought this might also be a good way for us to get to know each other better. Does anyone want to go first?

Hah! I started this topic and I almost forgot to tell you guys my testimony. Well, I was raised in a Christian family that went to church every time the doors were open and every family member played an active part in some ministry. I grew up knowing all the Bible stories and answering all the questions the right way. It wasn't untill January 26th, 2003that I finaly came to know Christ as my Lord and Savior. It was a Sunday morning and I don't even know what my Pastor spoke about, but during the invitation, I found myself crying uncontrollably. I was so embarased that I ran out to my car as soon as the service ended and sat there as the Lord spoke to my heart about my salvation. I finaly went back in and found my Mother to tell her that I needed to be saved. I knew how, but I felt I needed a witness. So, in a small Sunday School room in the back of my church, my Mother led me to the Lord. It's the best memory of my life.
a couple of years agoi had problems with depression, nothing as extreme as cutting myself or thinking of suicide but just always sad. The first person i heard that died was my cousin jeremy whom left behind a son, i immediately started writing depressing poems to accompany my feelings, and including him i lost 6 people that were close to me in a span of 2-3 yrs., including my favorite uncle Retired Captain Ronald Y. Heath in a car accident. I learned that Jesus was the only way to overcome my depression and it is much like Casting Crowns song Set Me Free, he pulled me out of the dark and showed me the light, how we should rejoice for those whom pass on, because they have gone to a better place, and that really they weep for us when they leave because they cannot bring us with them. Now i have gone as far as to join my church's drama team, outreach team, possibly change from running the lights to playing in the band on trombone and vocals and i am the leader of the Slam Poetry Ministry "Slam Factor", and if you want to see some of my work, check out my blog page.
