My Testimony

-
I was baptized at age 7 and I really believed that I wanted God in my life. But I don't think that I actually knew what giving my all was. I sadly drifted from God when I was older.

From age 10-around 12 I found myself caught in a horrible sin. I was looking at pornography and I knew it was wrong, and I didn't care. My heart felt so heavy and dark. Like literally dark. I hated how I felt. But if I told anyone I knew I was going to be so in trouble.

The first time I looked at it my parents found out. My mom talked to me and I really was sad and wanted to change. I repented and went back on with life. My mom was so gentle with what I had done. And I was really surprised.

But I'm not sure how much longer it was but I started looking at it again. This time I told my parents, and I repented. After that time in my life I started noticing what a sinful life I was living. I told my parents, siblings, friends, the bad big and little things I had done wrong. I was truly changed and I felt so light. 

I moved on with God and that was the turning point in my life. I still find myself doing something wrong, and sometimes I have to repent of big things. Satan knows my weakness and I can't do it without God! I would be a shattered mess without him.

Although have some wicked and awful things in my life, and I am not proud of them. But pornography is something that is huge in our world and I can relate to others and help them out of this pit of dispair. I want my testimony to show others it is not impossible to get out of any sin!

I hope you are all encouraged!  God bless you all! - Noel

    Hey Noel this is really cool...it's really great when Christians share their testimony because it shows other people that you identify with them, and that there is still hope. Thanks for sharing! And thanks for supporting our blog too. You're a great friend. -Hanna

Best Friends?

 Best Friends? Do they actually exist, someone who is always there for you and never leaves? Well, I know how it is to loose a best friend. I'm guessing a lot of you have had the same experience. This happened to me very recently and I wanted to share some of my struggles and victories with y'all! My friend was a funny, loving, and super cool person. We had been BFF's for like 5 years. But all of a sudden one day I noticed we seemed distant from each other. I didn't feel like I could be myself around her anymore. I had recently during covid19 switched church's and I left the one she went to. I barely saw her very much, but I still thought of her as a best friend. I finally started seeing her more often and I noticed her and this other girl and her were like the "new thing". I was determined to win her back. I tried. I failed. I hadn't noticed how much I had changed, how much she had changed. We really didn't click anymore. So I decided I needed to

  You are going to have those times in you life when someone close to you gets hurt emotionally or physically. It could be a friend break up with a boyfriend, someone has a miscarriage, loss of a loved one etc. I've had multiple of these happen to people I know, and sometimes I just don't know what to say, act, or do. But I found some great things that help me to comfort people in a great, loving, and caring way. Listening. Yep, that is hard a lot of times. You want to tell them what they did wrong or someone else did wrong, or just give them some plain old advice. Well advice and correction come in time. First you listen. Listening can be one of the best ways to support your hurting friend. Just to be their, sit with them, listen to them, and comfort them. Identify with them. Sometimes you think that, wow, Kathy is like crying about that stupid boyfriend she had and he was like a jerk and a bum. Well, that's a bit harsh. You need to imagine yourself in their shoes. They ha
