When I was about eight, my mom gave birth to my brother. He became really sick after a while and had to go to a children's hospital. I didn't see him or my parents for a month and I started to pray. I was so scared that I wouldn't get to see him ever again, that I prayed the same prayer every night, and amazingly, I still remember it, "Dear God up in heaven, let my brother live if it be your will. Amen." It isn't long, but I would have thought that seven years later I would have forgotten it. My sister used to cry when she heard me pray and we used to pray it together. It makes me sad just thinking about that time in my life.

Talk about how you felt when you got saved. How did you get saved, what happened, who was there? These are all questions that you can answer. Say what you've been doing since you've been saved. That is your testimony. Your life is your testimony.

I have to tell you guys about this!!!
Last Sunday, I was at church and during one of the slow songs during praise, I told Jesus I just wanted to be with him.
This was sooo cool. After that, I heard him say "and I just want to be with you"
That was SO awesome! He talked to me!!!!
Anyways It wasnt over. I said, Well, what do I need to do, please tell me.
He said, "Surrender yourself to me"
I was confused for a moment, I thought I had surrenedered my life to him when I was saved. He probably heard me thinking and said "completely"
Then the thought popped into my mind that maybe there are some things in my life that the Lord wants me to work on. So I asked him. I said
Lord, what is it I need to do? What do I need to work on??
He just simply said "You'll find out"
By that time the song was over and my uncle went up to preach. Guess what his sermon was on? ....Surrendering
I was so blessed when I got home from church. It was hard at first when he spoke to me. I was asking myself what is that?? Is that you Lord?? I have been trying to train myself to hear him, Im reading books and stuff. It works!
Thank you Lord!

Well, there was this one instance that was only about a month ago that I know must've been The Lord helping me 3nodding
It was the week before our high school's fundraiser and everybody in drama was anxious to earn a good amount of money so we could put together our next production. My school is very small *there are only about 10 to 12 seniors this year, which is actually a sort of high for us :roll* so we use one play as a source of funding for our next production and so on and so forth.
I was getting extremely nervous. With God's calming presence, I was able to give a perfect audition in September that landed me the lead role with ease. This was my first lead role! I had never had more than 15 lines in a play before but now I suddenly had over 130 to memorize, which was a lot for me! I really wanted to do a good job for my teacher and my fellow drama buddies.
Only a few days were left before opening night and I barely had half of my lines memorized. I was getting extremely antsy and afraid. I thank God that my friend Samm was willing to help me with my lines every single day for hours on end. But that still didn't relieve my tension. A lot of other things were going on that made me feel that our play was going to bomb for sure.
But one night, a couple days before the opening night showing, I had a dream. I was in our theatre and the lights were dimmed for the show; I was up on stage and had completely forgotten my lines and even my costume. Then I was down in the audience, feeling as tense, anxious, and embarrassed as I did while I was awake. I saw nothing but haze up on the stage and was certain that the audience would start leaving out of disappointment. But then, my friend Ashley turned around to face me from the seat in front of me and commented on how great we were all doing and how much everyone was enjoying it. Suddenly, I started feeling happy and proud of our performance and I knew that everything had worked out after all.
It was the most elaborate dream I've had in a long while and I know that God sent it to me as a vision of sorts to calm me down and let me know that things would start to pull together...It was Friday, and our opening performance was that night. Everyone worked extra hard at practice that day and everything ran smoothly. It was time for the show!...I was on that stage for two hours straight for the show and not once did I feel nervous, or forget a single line. I was so happy, and our opening night show turned out to be one of our best shows ever.
So yeah, there's one of my cool little testimonies about how God has helped me overcome things in my life

I have always been in a Christian family, my father put on bible studies and had neighborhood equivalents to vacation bible school. But after my father began to go out of control with alcoholism that all came to a halt. My parents got divorced and I was very depressed. So many problems happened to my all at once, 3 family members dieing in the same year (including my father because he had lung cancer also). And at that time I knew God, but I didn't really have a devoted relationship with Him.
In the middle of all that I occasionally went to church, youth group, and most of all a Christian camp. Christian Adventure Camp to be exact. I was a camper every year I could, I loved the scenery (it was by a wonderful river), the food was great, and I was always interested in the speakers. It was a few years of getting out of the busyness of life that helped me really discover God and the relationship that He wants with all of us. Each year of that camp made me stronger in my faith. Soon I was going to bibles studies that continued to strengthen my knowledge and confidence in my faith.
So, becoming a christian was a gradual process in my case.
