Testimony: Messed-up-life

Jacob's testimony "Messed-up-life" on 3/27/2013, 12:43pm...

My life has been really messed up! The relationship that I have now with Jesus Christ is way better and stronger than before. I knew who Christ was but I never went to church to get to know him. But then when I came to live with my grandparents I got connected with Jesus again. My grandma was the Apostle of our church that we went to and she always loved to teach me about him. The church I went to was about 15 people max and there was no youth group. I was the only kid in the church.
When I was living with my grandparents the relationship with Christ was gaining until I found out that my dad was in jail and my grandma had cancer. When they told me this I was angry at God. At this time I did not know much but I did know that God had a reason for all of this. I prayed every night for my dad and my grandma. I kept going to that same church for many years until my grandma passed away. I was angry at God even more because he took away the only mother that I had.
After a few months the relationship with God faded because we weren’t going to church. For 7 months I didn’t go to church and at that time I didn’t care. I was so frustrated because I was hard not to have a grandma around to take care of you. Then after a while we got this flyer in the mail about a church five minutes away called Faith Mountain. We went there right around Christmas. My grandpa and I became members and we were finally part of a church again.
When I came to Faith Mountain it was different for me because the church I went to was small and we always dressed up. I got used to it after a while. I started to gain back the relationship with God and I felt happy. I didn’t know about youth group until Jet brought me. But when I went to Dare 2 Share, I felt something that I have never felt before. This event was life changing and I found that after I left, I started to have a better relationship with God.
I wish I could spend more time there. But I found that after a couple of weeks after I went to Dare 2 Share, I found myself trying to kill myself. I was mad at life and I wanted out. I prayed every night for God to help and I helped to calm me down. I have noticed that I do not really follow God anymore. Like when we went to Dare 2 Share they asked us if we are True Followers of Jesus Christ and to me I do not think that I am. I used to read the bible every day and pray before every meal and pray in church but now, I don’t and I think that I should start to do that so I can become a TRUE FOLLOWER.
