I’d like to share with you my walk with Jesus Christ…someone who is by my side 24/7 365 days a year. I had a testimony on my old Grusofsky’s Grove site…but that’s long gone now, and I feel that my faith is something that needs to be shared on this site as well. Now please forgive me, I’m writing from the heart…so I may ramble a lot, and I don’t have the exact date…or the exact feeling…it’s kind of been a long drawn out process in the making.

Before I get into my actual testimony, I’d like to share with you a little bit of my history. My mother was a stay at home mom to my younger sister and I…she was in an abusive marriage and had no choice but to leave our father when we were very young. I was 4 years old and my sister was 18 months…we lived by ourselves for a few years until she met my “daddy”. Even during the difficult times that she had with my abusive father and our times alone…we always went to church. Jesus was always a part of my family. Jesus has always been a part of my life.

But it wasn’t until I was a late teen that I realized how much of a part of my life he actually was. I didn’t know about giving my life to him, eternal life, and all that jazz…so I kind of just listened, wanted to do it…but didn’t know how to take it from there. I had my moments, I’d go to church, not go to church, on and off…up and down. Just kind of going through the motions.

Every time I would hear the give your life to Christ prayer, I’d pray it…I still to this day pray the prayer if I’m in a situation that is saying it. But it wasn’t until I became a mother that it all sunk in. Here I am holding my dear precious baby boy and thought about all that God gave us and did for us by sacrificing His one and only Son so that we can have eternal life in His Kingdom. Wow…what a powerful thing! Looking at my baby boy thinking I would give anything to protect him…and God loved me and you and everyone else so much that He gave it all to us…ALL OF IT!

So…if you ask me when I became a Christian…I’m not exactly sure when to tell you that I did. I wish I knew the exact date…but God knows it…and if I was to be in a situation tomorrow where someone was praying a prayer asking if anyone wants to give their life to Christ, I’d pray it again. Because everyday with Christ I feel renewed hope…renewed faith…and renewed love.

If you’ve never prayed the prayer…it’s simple. God doesn’t need you to be all fancy. Just talk to Him, like you’re talking to a friend…the BEST FRIEND you can imagine. Ask Him to forgive you of your sins, to help guide you from this point forward to be the person He wants you to be and just ask Jesus Christ into your life…you will never be the same again, trust me…but most importantly trust in the Lord!
