My Testimony

My Testimony

To begin, I think it’s important to acknowledge my past. I grew up in a very Christian household. We attended church every Sunday and even most Wednesday nights. I thought I had a good relationship with God, but I was wrong. Through my adolescence I was always a lukewarm Christian, I believed but I didn’t follow. When I was baptized, the thought that prompted me to do it was “why not”. It wasn’t out of love or even belief. As most teenagers, I had very few focuses in life. Sports, girls, and what career I would end up in, but God was almost never a focus. After graduation my life started to spiral and I abandoned God altogether, I started and finished several unhealthy relationships. I experimented with drugs and formed addictions. I was so far removed from God that He was even a thought in my day to day life. At least when I was younger I would attribute the good in this world to Him, but at this point in my life I couldn’t.
