My family is a very good family. My parents are wonderful Christians and have always showed me the love of God by the way they live. I have always been saved and for the most part of my life, I would say a pretty good Christian.
Then high school came around. I went through “phases” where I would be all “Christian” and then turn around and down the road be TERRIBLE. This happened multiple time. I became a homosexual, a partier (drinking and weed), bad language, and was always putting people down.
My life all changed when my parents found out about my lifestyle, and I tried to kill myself. While lying in the hospital bed, watching my mom cry, I realized I had messed up BIG TIME and I had to find God again. A couple days later I went to a YoungLife camp at Windy Gap and my life did a 360. I was recommitted to the Lord, and I have been going uphill ever since.
It took a while to get over the pain, depression, and make a new reputation for myself, but now my life is amazing, and God has blessed me beyond imaginable. Now I live as a follower of Christ, and I am involved in many Christian youth groups/organizations, and I live my life as an example of Christ. I thank God every day for blessing me. I know he did not allow me to die in that hospital bed because he had better plans for me.
I’ve read your testimony and want to say that I appreciate your strength to bare your soul, your love for your parents and the Lord, and your faith that God forgives and restores.
I wish you many blessings as you find and live the life that God has made just for you.

Blessing!!!
Hello, I just finished reading your testimony and I can deeply say I understand everything you said.
A lot of people think that just because you are raised in a good Christian home, that you are suppose to be perfect all the time and righteous. NOT SO. Just like you did, I made some terrible mistakes in my life as well, things, I wish I could take back, but I can’t. The thing about God is: Once he places that fire in your soul, when chooses you(because not everybody is called, some just went) there is no turning back. Just like Jeremiah said, it’s just like fire in the pit of your soul. Jeremiah said, even when I try to forget about you, I find myself giving in, and witnessing again about your goodness. So, God Bless you, and you continue to allow God to lead you, because He is the ultimate Teacher, Servant, and Shepherd. Check out my testimony, it’s called: “Before I Knew You, You Knew Me”
God Bless!!!!
Thank for the testimony. A blessing to others, especially those who tends to backslide. Power!
