1.What is your testimony? Who were you before Christ and who are you now?

Before I knew Christ, I was super insecure, unhappy, worried, and selfish. If I was in a situation I didn’t like, I would try to manipulate it into something that I could benefit from. It really disgusts me how manipulative I was when it came to circumstances and relationships. I was completely immature, and let my anger get the best of me. This caused me to completely destroy the one relationship where I can say I was happy and in love. We had our problems, but I feel like they all started because of my insecurities. These insecurities even drove me to physical attacks. Before I knew Christ, I was actually proud of myself for doing it. But I am so, so thankful that that girl does not exist anymore at all. I don’t wish to change the past because I know that these experiences were given to me by God as a kind of discipline. They have shaped me as a person, and have shown me how I allowed evil to creep into my personality even though I considered myself to be a nice girl back then, who was simply treated the way she didn’t want to be treated. But since then, Christ has worked His miracles within me. I strive to please Him by not putting my needs above anyone else’s. I am no longer manipulative at all, which keeps the craziness that I once felt far, far away. I have learned to accept circumstances and people for how and who they are. I’ve also learned that God’s will for me is so much better than any will of my own. My struggles now consists of being aware of what He wants for me, while trying to fend off the temptations that my flesh desire. I simply want to share the love and mercy that have been given to me with everyone I know. I want to spread Christianity, not by shoving it down people’s throats, but by sharing love through my actions as a person. I’ve come a long way now that it’s been a little longer than a year that I’ve met Him, and I know He’s not done with me yet.
