My Testimony

I just thought that I would share my testimony with you all. I honestly don't know why I didn't do this before, but here'goes.


I have been fortunate enough to be raised in a Christian home. My parents have taught me about God ever since I was able to talk.

Before I accepted Christ as my Saviour, I was an angry child. I always let my temper get the better of (which most red-heads tend to do) and I took out my anger on my older brother, Greg, Which was not cool at all. I never paid attention to the sermons that my pastor preached because I thought coloring was more important.

Then when Greg got saved, I saw a change in him. He was happier than ever and I grew curious as to how he got to be so happy. So one Sunday night, I motivated myself to put away my crayons and actually listen to what the pastor was talking about. Thank goodness I did. After church that night, I started asking my Dad a whole bunch of questions, all of which he answered, and shortly thereafter he led me to the Lord on his lap. I was 5 1/2 years old when I accepted Christ.

Ever since then, my life has been changed for the better. That doesn't mean my life has been perfect, but I grew to know that in whatever situation that I face, God is going to be there.

For example, this past summer my brother, Greg, and I were involved in a serious car accident on Highway 40/61. We live near that dangerous intersection that you used to hear about on the news. Anyway, we were at the stop sign getting ready to go southbound on 61 and the only car on the highway had it's turn signal on, so we assumed that they were going to get into the turn lane to go on Highway U, but were dead wrong. We started to pull out and this other car T-boned our car. The impact was so great that our car spun around in a complete circle once and the entire left side of our car was smashed in. The paramedics said that Greg should have been either seriously injured or dead,but he walked away with only a few scratches on his arm and I got all the bruises. God was really watching over us that day.

My family and friends may have seen that accident as just an accident, but to me it was a wake-up call. At that point and time, I hardly ever focused on God. I was so caught up in making money and living the good life, that I kind of blew God off. I did things my way and God got my attention. Needless to say, I won't need to get into another car accident for Him to get my attention.

God is so good and even though we go through tough times, we need to trust that God will provide. It is hard to trust that, but nevertheless we need to get off of ourselves and surrender to God's will because He knows what's best.
I am discovering that I can't handle things in my life on my own. God needs to mend things in His own timing and I just need to trust that.
Thanks for reading this.
I hope that you have a good day,
