Tiffany's Testimony

         
            When I was a child probably about 5 years old my brother accepted Christ as his Saviour. When he did that my entire family gave him a special kind of attention. I wanted that attention. So a few weeks later I went to my dad and asked him to help me accept Christ as my Saviour. He asked me all the questions and he got me down on my knees and prayed with me. Even thought it was fake everytime after that if anyone asked me if i was saved I would answer yes, but I always doubted my faith deep inside. Then when i was 7 years old i got baptised and professed my faith in front of my entire church.
            Four years later my parents seperated and i left to live with my mother. That was my first and only year in a public school and the kids had a great influence on me. I became more secular and even started denying Christ. That summer i came back to rockford to stay for summer break, so i could re-unite with old friends and see the people that i missed so much. I ended up hanging out with different people than what i had intended and i decided that i liked the way i was living and i did'nt care what anybody thought. In that summer i changed so much i became the person i never wanted to be and the worse part is i liked being that way. I started once again to deny Christ i even would tell people i was an atheist. I got so bad that my dad could'nt handle me anymore, so he sent me to live with my Aunt Chris, which meant that i had to leave the friends that i moved back for. Needless to say i was devistated.
           At first when i moved in with Aunt Chris, i hated it. I thought she was the worse person ever and i even convinced myself that i hated her. Except there was just one thing about living with Aunt Chris that i liked. That was church. I actually found myself wanting a relationship with God. So 8th grade year when i was 13 years old on May 22, 2011 i accepted Christ as my Saviour for the right and real reasons and now i know i am saved. I now strive to do my best and give my all for God.
