My testimony in 100 words or less
Figuring out my testimony has always been difficult for me. Frankly, the classic elements of a Christian testimony just have not applied. After a very frustrating attempt to write one in 100 words or less, Raven listened to it and didn't think it worked. Agitated, I flopped down on the bed and verbally explained why I just don't have a testimony. She told me to write that instead. So, here it is in 85 words:
I cannot tell you how God changed my life. I can't say that God delivered me out of anything. All I can say is my Father has been there for me my whole life. When I fail, and I often do, He's there to pick me up. When I do something He doesn't appreciate, which is more often than I like, He forgives when I ask. He walks beside me, shaping me continuously to be the man He sees the potential in me to be.
