While I've been sitting here patiently waiting for others to send me e-mail in which they put their
belief into words I got to thinking... what about me? Why haven't
I written my testimony down? I know in Whom I believe and I know He's
given me so many reasons for my faith, but writing it down? That's easier
said than done. I would be hard pressed even to say when, exactly, I first
knew I believed. My 'road to salvation' has been anything but smooth!
To get a rough picture, think of a rollar coaster with more twists, turns, ups
and downs than anything they could dream of constructing at Magic Mountain!
I have fought against the Lord when I thought I knew better what was right for me
and I have challenged Him when I should have just accepted His will. I have gone through periods of self-
doubt and abasement, feeling absolutely certain there was no possible way
God could still love me after what I'd done! I have shook my fist at Him
and told Him that, "If this is how the people You care for have to go
through life ...I'd be better off alone!" After each temper tantrum, each
juvenile rebellion, I've found myself picked up, dusted off and put back on
track by the most Loving Parent anyone could hope for! He has taught me the
meaning of forgiveness by forgiving me my worst transgressions! He has
taught me the meaning of love by pouring His out on me! He taught me the meaning
of sacrafice by paying the ultimate price for my sins!
I think my very first 'convicting' moment came while attending the Baptist Youth Summer Church Camp in Temple Hills, Montana. It was there, surrounded by some of God's most
beautiful handiwork, that I came to the full realization that there had to be a God! None of that lovely, mountainous region
could have just happened! Truly it had been created by a Master craftsman!
