Looking back on my past and how I was before I met Christ makes me think of how I got through it not having a strong relationship with him. Having been through foster care and adoption, my past was hard and it brought me to many bridges and obstacles that I didn’t know if I could overcome. I felt alone, and as if something was missing.
When I was placed into my second foster home, I met someone who truly touched my life. I gained happiness and security from her, and soon began to feel wanted again. She became to be one of the biggest influences on my life in becoming stronger with my faith.
Although I did know Christ through people around me that knew him, I didn’t have a strong relationship with him. It never really clicked that he was the thing that was missing, until later on, when everything started to crumble around me, and I began to feel so alone, I realized that Christ was the thing I needed all along. I started to understand my past better and began wondering why it all happened the way it did.
By becoming stronger with Christ I slowly began to figure out it all happened for a reason, I wasn’t sure of what this reason was, but I knew that the Lord Jesus Christ did.
I began coming to Lawrence Wesleyan Church in 2000. There was something about this place, It felt good walking in the church, knowing that it was the house of God. I loved the atmosphere of everyone here. For the longest time I was shy to sing, Finally, I asked myself the question, What am I afraid of? Everyone around me was singing, raising there hands up to Christ, and I was just standing there, as If I was out in space. One day, a song came on that I knew well, and I started to sing. The feeling inside of me was powerful, and before the song was over, I found myself in tears. I left church with a smile on my face that day, I’ll never forget that feeling, it was wonderful.
In the past two years, I have noticed, I’ve became imensly closer to christ. My attitude has changed, I spread the word of Christ to anyone that will listen. I think twice before taking actions. When I get upset or angry, I find myself praying to God to help me, to give me the courage and strenghth to get through.
Looking back on all of this makes me smile. Yes, some of the bridges and obstacles that have been placed in front of me have been hard, and I know there will be more in the fute, but I also know that God will never put an obstacle in front of me that I can’t overcome. He has been with me this whole time and He will always be with me in the future.

Testimony is a written seen certificates to set up or end up a reality. Nobody has used a word like 'trained testimony' Expert way skilled handiest. The opinion of an skilled man or woman is the trained opinion. So we don't use any testimony (certificates) of an skilled man or woman, however an authoritative or ready man or woman. Being skilled, (trained) I can certify you that you're historic elderly and get you a pension, however the Tahsildar (Authority) / or City Mayor might no longer certify (testimonise) it. Another phrase is "credential" - to end up the credit score of getting handed or practised.

I am glad that your life is meaningful and joyous. Now, why would Christ take the credit for what YOU have done? If you had met some compassionate Buddhists that had taken you into their home, treated you with love, affection, and respect; if they had taught you to pray to the statue of the Buddha, would you have given the credit of your success, your joy in life to Buddha? Why not?
There are many people who would say that their FEELINGS are derived from the religious experience they have had by going to temples, synagogues, mosques and from the love that the people of those communities showed them.
We can so easily feel overpowered by wonderful feelings. We can be moved by a story of compassion, or even by a song. We are not just robots. We do have feelings.
Nonetheless, no matter how strongly we FEEL something, to determine the difference between true and false, feelings are powerless. It's Reason which will tell you the difference between what's real and unreal, what's just and unjust, and what's right and wrong.

that's a wonderful testimony, I have a similar testimony and just like you I would question why did you bring me into this, why doesn't she love me, and what's wrong with me that 2 moms have walked out of my life. But through all the pain,and neglect, and the feelings of lonlyness Christ has always been there for me. Without him I would have no peace. But because of his love for me. I can walk through those trials as they come (which are not always easy) and know he is guiding every step.
I know why I went through everything I did, Because if I didn't I probably would not know Christ today.
for that pain, God's has a purpose And I believe that everything happens to bring him glory and I am also so thankfull.

an awesome testimony
you explained about your past, touched on your childhood background without getting bogged down in too many details
then you linked it with the present and more recent changes and increasing boldness and courage in life you have found as a result
god bless you as you continue to grow in him
