Postby Joshua 8:1 » 16 Sep 2008, 22:26

this is my testimony i hope it helps you guys.


My parents got divorced when I was 5 and my dad re married when I was 8
My mom was in and out of relationships and when she found a good guy he went away,
She later found a guy named Chris, which was nice at first turned out to be mean.
He ended up beating my mother and me some times pretty badly.
That didn’t satisfy him for longer he soon got worse he had Later tried to kill us more then once a total of 3 or 4 times.
Then when I was 11 my best friend died in a wreck, 12 my mother died of cancer, and 13 my dad died of a heart attack
And I was just left with my step mom.
I went down hill very fast I started to cut myself the only thing that could comfort me was the razor then I ended up almost committing suicide then at my second time at a Christian camp I found Christ threw the help of others and ended up accepting him into my life and now my step mom was able to adopt me and my life has been bleeds by many people that I would still be on the wrong path if it were not for them so yeah that is my testimony. If you want to know more ask

so yeah if you ever want to know anything else, fill free to ask me, i hope you guys get something out of my testimony and that it can help you.

Joshua, Thanks for sharing this testimony and I will share with you sometime how my youngest son use to do the same thing you did. The self mutilations, Almost OD on drugs trying to commit suicide when he was 16 but a totally different set of circumstances.

The devil has come to kill, still and destroy, but praise God he did not succeed with you, I and my son!

Joshua,

Thank you for sharing your testimony.

I also had a 'dyfuntional homelife',but God saved me at 15 years old.

I believe God places us in these homes so that we can see our need for Him.

I personally think everyone of us have one or two grown children who has mess with Satan's greatest tool to destroy --drugs!

Satan attacks those we dearly loved when we are trying to serve Him.

He knows our weakest places for his fiery darts.

Thanks for sharing~
