Hello everyone. This site is truly a blessing. I am a believer of Christ. I was here lying in bed and feeling down. Yes, I am a Christian and I’m feeling down. It happens, and I don’t know why but I leave all my emotions in God’s hands. I know he is in control because I let him be in control. So, I’m lying here and I start shopping online, that’s what I do when I feel down and I have a computer in front of me.
But I stopped and thought “I feel down and I should do something more edifying than just shop.” So I “google” testimonies and this site pops out. It’s been a blessing and I hope to get around sharing my own testimony that I know will strengthen many. I will start now with a little. Christ delivered me the ugly world of drugs. I tried to fill the emptiness with what didn’t satisfy me. I cried out to God,
“God if you do exist, save me!”
And He did. I fell asleep behind the wheel after not sleeping for 3 days and had a terrible car accident that immobilized me for 6 months, but everything was in God’s perfect plan.
OK, so here I am once again it’s 1am and I can’t sleep. I’m a nursing student, and my stethoscope (the thing to hear heart beats) just happened to be within my reach. I took it into my hands, and I started listening to my heartbeat. At first, I was analyzing my sounds and just killing time. Then it hit me… Wow, God’s power is what keeps my heart beating. He is who keeps me moving forward.
I could have died in the terrible accident I had (see last post) but I didn’t. Update to my testimony: I had two accidents within a 5-month time frame. I hit head on to the freeway wall at 70 mph and survived. At the time, I wasn’t saved so all I was worried about was missing work, crashing my car, etc. Never did I think to myself, wow, I’m still walking.
I remember when I crashed, some guy pulled over and he asked me if I was ok all I did was reach out to this total stranger and just hugged him. I was afraid. so, my second accident, I hit head on with a tree, I fell asleep behind the wheel. I hadn’t slept for three days because of meth, drinking, marijuana, etc. and I was really messed up.
That night my “so called friend” told me that I didn’t look very good that maybe I should spend the night. I said OK buy I’m sleeping in the car (because I don’t trust sleeping out of my own home) and when I turned on my car, a police car flashed the light on me (he was passing by the neighborhood) and I felt that I should leave, I KNOW GOD PUT THAT FEELING IN MY HEART. I said no I’ll just leave I’ll be fine.
So, I left, and I had a terrible accident (details see last post) but it all turned out for the best. I quit drugs 100% I remember when I was in ICU, the nurse offered me help and I said,
“No way, I don’t need a drug program I can do it alone.”
She said,
“You won’t be able to.”
SO, GUESS WHAT? I WASN’T ABLE TO DO IT ALONE. I DID IT BECAUSE I ACCEPTED CHRIST INTO MY HEART AND HE HELPED ME! He did it for me, and he can do it for you too. You don’t have to be a drug addict. You can be the most normal person (like I thought I was) but you still need Christ. He is my savior my Lord, my EVERYTHING and my heart beats only because of him. Looking back to who I used to be and to who I am now, I would naturally say “impossible!” but what is impossible for man, is possible through God!
Wow this is so inspiring. 🙂
One question how did finally give up your old ways and put your all into Jesus?
God is all powerful yet, we must let his love and his grace enter our hearts. I was desperate for a way out, and i had heard of a God, a someone named Jesus that saves, and changes. Like i said, i prayed one night, in my desperation to this God I had heard of and said “if you truly exist, change me” and he did. I was in the hospital a few weeks which helped me stay away from the drugs and old friends even though they still called me, but the Bible says “knock, and the door shall be opened.” I knocked, Jesus answered, and there he was, with His arms wide open. He washed away my tears, my pain, my addiction. I struggled a bit with smoking but I let go completely in a matter of months. God put certain people in my way to show me that it was wrong. I realized I was hurting those I love and myself. I KNEW IT WAS MY LAST CHANCE…
my other post is called “Nothing Impossible for Christ”
