Awaneta's Testimony
When I was little my brothers and I went to church at Harmony Missionary Baptist Church, until my parents started going to church at First Baptist Church,and so my brothers and i joined them there...
I didn't become a Christain, however, until I was about seven years old, sitting one night in front of the T.V. with my mother, watching one of the Billy Graham Crusades... and I felt that God was trying to tell me somthing.
And Billy Graham said that unless we accepted Christ as your Savior,you weren't going to see Jesus... it was then that i said the Sinner's Prayer and became a born-again Christain.
When I was fourteen my father, and the other men went to a Promise Keepers Rally, they had a church service to tell about their experiences at Texas. It was then that I again felt a tug on my heart... and felt myself arguing with God about how I was behaving outside of church.
I knew that if I was going to grow into the young woman that God wanted me to be, then I needed to put away my old self and put on a newer, more Godly "adult" self. It was then that I made a commitment to try to behave as a Mature person should.
This however, as anybody knows, is easier said than done...there were many times that I knew that I was not honoring my commitment. So once again I walked down the aisle and I knew that this was the "real thing" and not just something that you do to impress people.
Before I went down, Christainity had become a game that I played---to make people say 'now there is a Godly girl'. After I walked that aisle, my faith became a leaning block, that was actually alive.
But as you know satan is very good at throwing stumbling blocks, for me it was fitting in and pride... and once again like the Isrealites I fell out of touch with my King. When I was seventeen, my chruch(Northeast Baptist Church) hired a new youth minister. His name was Scott Richards, and his story, from the begining, put me on edge...because it was similair to my own.
And I when I went to Falls Creek that year, I once again argued with God, but this time I listened to what He was saying... and I renewed my faith in God...and then I made a commitment to serve God in my own way with teens...and this is why I was totaly syked about this website...this website is for you...teens who don't think that God is out there and that he loves you more than anything.
I'm not going to say that this is where the story ends, because there isn't a time when God doesn't work in your life... and so I'll end it like this:
Never think that your journey to the Heart of God is over, because it's never over.
God Bless You!!!!
