I read this testimony in to my church almost two years ago. I've gone through so many different things before then and since then that this doesn't even touch most of my trials and tribulations. But it will give you an idea how our one true God works in us.
::::: Testimony::::::
A testimony is something God gives everyone bad or good. I believe we go through struggles and heartaches even though it isn’t God's will so that we can use them to help someone else when it’s time for us to start planting seeds. So forgive me because I am not a polished person and I’m defiantly not a public speaker. But I am going to humble myself before you now in hopes that it will help someone else here today give their life to the Lord if they haven’t already, to help them see that sinners like me can be saved from the very depths of hell, the very heartaches and struggles we face each day will become easier to get through because you follow the Father.
Have you ever felt lost or confused or humiliated or embarrassed? Or ever wondered why in the world you just went through something that you didn’t understand until later? That’s the story of my life until a few years ago.
When I was 12 my mom and dad divorced and I lived with dad and my two brothers. Okay now lets go back to the lost and confused part because that was me. I’ve always had to figure things out on my own basically, unless it had to do with sports...that’s where dad made sure he gave advise. I’ve always believed in God, I even went to Sunday school when I was younger, by myself. Growing up without mom around was difficult but a blessing or testimony that God used in many other ways later on in my life. My mom is the one who planted my seed in the first place before she left. It was never God’s Will for me to feel alone or abandoned, lost or confused growing up, I know this now. I went through many struggles that most teenagers go through I suppose, but I just never had a mentor, someone to lead me or guide my ways when I fell apart. I was always very stubborn and God and I still have plenty of arguments about my stubbornness. God is always telling me to just listen to HIM, He will show me the way. So now I listen much better than I used to. My Dad was actually the “cool” dad, so basically I had the reigns to do as I pleased, when and wherever I pleased. I even thought it was pretty cool most of the time. But most of those times I felt more alone and lost than ever.
I have done some awful, mean, unjustifiable things in my life. I was never a trouble maker with the law, but believe me, I probably should have been taken out back on a daily basis and given my share of whoppings for my attitude. I have lots of dirt and trash from the past that I can’t hardly stand to think about now. But that dirt and trash is what brought me to the point I’m at right now. A life I live for my father in heaven. I went on to graduate, then I had a baby by myself, thought about suicide many times, then I had a terrible marriage that I always thought I deserved just because of my past, plus I had two more babies, then I got a divorce, and well look at me now...here I am expecting again..and that’s just bits and pieces of my struggles with life. You may look at me and think “yeah, sure doesn’t look like much has changed in her life”. But let me assure you, it has.
I finally quit running from God who has always been there for me and never left my side. And I finally started “listening” to Him and then I began to have a real relationship with Him. But it took a horrible worldly disaster to open up my eyes a few years ago, and see just how quickly we could all be wiped off this earth. When the Tsunami hit and I watched all the news coverage I realized that this is what Mom has always told me about. She always told me to watch the signs, He is coming back for us and it’s sooner than we think. Wow, it just hit me like a ton of bricks. I started in Revelations of all places in the Bible, and oh by the way, don’t start there because it might just scare the daylights out of you if your not really ready to read it. Then of course I was really, really scared. So I asked a pastor I knew what he thought about how I was feeling and he’s the one that told me I needed to focus more on a relationship with God than the bad things happening around me like natural worldly disasters and things happening in the news.
It was from that point on that I really got in the word. I went so far as to unhook my TV for almost an entire year and study the word. I read some very interesting testimonies about Life After Death and near death experiences, and even one about a womens journey to Hell with Jesus. It was probably that book that most changed me. I learned that when you die, if you go to Hell you have every single memory that you had on earth and things like if you were blind, or had one leg or were crushed in a car accident at your time of death, then that’s exactly what you are there. That you can feel every single pain there is to feel from the accident. That you continually burn and you can feel the fire burning you. In the books about Heaven I read I learned that God erases the memories of our sins and the memories of loved ones who didn’t make it to Heaven from our memory so that we cannot grieve them there. God wants just to love us and for us to love one another. I read two other books that also changed my life. I read the Purpose Driven life and one by Joel O’Steen, Your Best Life Now. I learned that our one sole purpose here on earth is to teach others, especially our children about God. How He gave His only son for our sins. He loved us that much to give his ONLY son to die on that cross for us. So the only repayment he requires is for us to ask for forgiveness of our sins and for us to start planting seeds and feeding those seeds with every single opportunity we can possibly get to do so. He gave me my children, they are a gift from Him, just so that I can teach them to be God loving-seed planters and spirit filled. They are not my children, they are HIS. So I had better just watch out with every thing I say and do in front of them. For I’ve learned that I am absolutely a nobody in this worldly world, but I am a super somebody to my babies and to God. . And I intend to do the best job that I can do to fulfill my promise to God.
I have to study, pray lots and lots and ask for forgiveness on a daily basis to keep this special relationship with the Father God. And believe me, being a Christian is the hardest thing I’ve ever done because there is only one door to Heaven ...all others lead straight to Hell. But having this relationship with Him gives me so much more peace, love, kindness, happiness, and joy that I’ve never had before. Always remember that the devil himself believes in God, and that just because you believe in God that doesn’t mean your going to Heaven. You must do more. It’s not a head thing, it’s a heart thing. Live by and for the word of our father in heaven.
So I await my day in Heaven. And if I die before any of you do, then I will be there waiting to give you the biggest greeting ever when it is your time and I can’t wait.
