Watch Them Fall: My Testimony

   Today we have another testimony of God's love and how He brought someone out of a hard time in life. Family, remember- God's love is reckless (in that He doesn't think about the consequences or the sacrifices that comes but simply acts) for you and there is no shadow He won't light up, no mountain He won't climb up, no lie He won't tear down, no wall He won't break down - coming after you, brother, sister. That's the lyrics from Reckless Love, a favorite song of mine :) May you shine wherever you are, and I pray that this speaks to you. You are not alone, and this doesn't have to be the end.

​     Hey Guys I’m Josiah and I’m here to share my testimony to you guys.

• So how was my life before Christ? (But Just keep in mind I got saved in the 7th grade) But I was typical little boy who just loves to play and get in trouble. I knew who God was and what He was capable of doing. If I was a bad little boy, then God would punish me. And that’s basically how my life was like before Christ.

• What did God do for me in my life? So I’m just moving on from elementary school to middle school to start off on my 6th grade year. My 6th grade year by the way went smoothly. 7th grade was one of my worst school years in my life. I got bullied really bad, such as being chased by gang members, almost being stabbed in the arm by a pencil, slapped on the neck, got my backpack taken away from and thrown on the ground, got made fun of multiple of times and lastly being used by whole bunch of people. But what God said to me, “Josiah I know your going through a rough time right now, but I will never let you down”. So God got me out of that bad school and brought me to a new school. Which was great for me and no bullying whatsoever. And so yeah, that’s one thing that God did for me that I will never forget. Also, God used my dad to help better understand what the Lord wanted for me.

 

• Right now God has moved in many ways in my life.

     He has made me more bold and less shy. God has blessed me and gave me the ability      to serve our various ministries in our church. Also God has blessed me with Godly               friends, Godly men and women I can look up too.
