Testimony: My Walk With The Lord
Christina's testimony "My Walk With The Lord" on 1/19/2013, 6:01pm...
My life before recieving Christ was filled with sin... From anything and everything you could think of, I was doing: lack of sexual morality, drugs, depression, self mutulation, eating disorders, reckless and irrational decisions, no respect for myself, etc. the list goes on and on.
Little did I know, I thought I had everything in control and as long as I was making others happy and doing 'the right things', my personal choices that affected me directly didn't matter.
Initially looking back at the things i've done, one would expect me to be ashamed and I was for the longest time. But since i've accepted the Lord into my life, I've recieved the strength to hold my head high and to use my past as a testimony for how He has worked in my life in multiple ways than imaginable.
I realized I needed the Lord in my life when I ended up basically living in my car with my then boyfriend and now husband, using any money we could get our hands on to use drugs, taking our families possessions when we no longer had anything to call our own to pawn, and when I felt utterly alone even though I was surrounded by people. I felt like I was at a dead end, which I was.
I hit rock bottom... Since that time, the Lord has blessed me with a wonderful and loving husband, he's given me multiple opportunities to turn my life around. He's given me the strength to turn my back on who I once was. I no longer use drugs, fornicate, I no longer use any prescription medication (not to mention I was diagnosed with ADHD, Manic-Depression Bipolar, Depression, and the list goes on) for I don't need them with Him in my life. I've been blessed with a loving family and the gift to appreciate the little things in life, and the ability to love myself and those around me more than I ever have. All in all, accepting the Lord into my life has been the best decision my crazy 18 year old self has ever made and I couldn't be happier. I owe it all to Him. God bless, and remember "This too shall pass..." Amen.
