 Disclaimer:
I want first of all to let everyone know that what I am about to reveal is not because I am living in the past or because I am holding on to it. I am not still wearing my grave clothes, so to speak.

A testimony is simply speaking the truth of what God has done in one's life, personal experience of His love, grace, power, glory. For a biblical example of a testimony please see Acts 26:1-23

At the age of thirteen I had finally had enough of my step-fathers morning visits and ran away from home. Unfortunately, two of my older sisters found me at the bus station just before my bus was due to come in and drug me back home. When I got there my mother began to rant and rave at me and in my own defense I told her why I had left.

One of my sisters had also been abused by our real dad and apparently was not aware that I had been as well. She was 18 at the time and she proceeded the beat the tar out of me, screaming at me "How dare you use what happened to me as an excuse for your foolishness?" "How dare you accuse dad like this?" "How dare you mock what happened to me?" etc.

My mom did nothing and after 5 or 10 minutes of her sitting on me, pummeling me about the head my step-dad pulled her off of me. At that point both she and I received the shock of our lives.

My mom turned to my step-dad and said, "I warned you, before she ever came home from that foster home, that she knew how she got rid of her real daddy, and that if you ever got her mad at you, she would accuse you of the same thing!"

After that night, I gave up. I had started drinking and smoking at around the age of 8, off and on, whenever things got bad, whenever I felt abandoned by God. I had also started experimenting with drugs by this time. That night was the beginning of my voluntary journey into hell.

 In spirit.....ditto...change the names, ages, locations a little...but I feel you Cecilia...(((((Mom)))))

And let the older women teach the younger women how to be chaste and sober minded....

Hard to do when they weren't taught either...God can fix it tho.

Love,

Kristina

Yes, sweetie, but the lesson is that no matter where you've been, God can still bring you out.
