People Leaving Testimonies

I'm going to say something...it may come out wrong, but I do not mean it that way...but it is disheartening that every day there are 12-17 registered members that stop by the forum and then disappear without a post....while opportunities like this thread are here.

I asked that you all share your testimony in here so that people coming in can see them and be helped by them. (Yes, more 'visitors' show up in here on a daily basis than registered users) I really hope you will consider sharing....as we are more than just an offroad club.

Thanks for your time.

..............7 months later..............trying again.

This is going to be a short nitty gritty post. My fingers are fairly raw from 2 hours of rock climbing...



Grew up in a church, Methodist. Been a member of this church since, well, my parents met there when they were 12 or 13. Gives you and idea about it, my family makes up a large chunk of the small congregation. I did that and I did a Catholic school for a few years, and a baptist school for 5 years. I was going through life happy as Larry until the freshman hear of high school. That is the point when I realized that something was not right. I was fairly young when I actually said the words in my heart "Jesus come into me and take over". The first 4 years were pretty good. I was surrounded by nothing but people who were believers. My core group of friends in school were very devout. In fact they still are. I see some of the still. But when I got into college I saw a different world and it led me down a different path. For the last 6 or 7 years things have not been well with me and my Lord. I have always known that Jesus is the one true way. But It has been my belief that the way the church has been run by those in this country has not been right. About 4 or 5 months ago, I had some life changing events take place that opened my eyes. I have since changed a large number of my habits. I have given up the circles in which I was running, I have given up a lot of the music I was listening too. I no longer watch the Simpsons and Family Guy and shows of that nature. There were alot of little things that I was letting ride, because I thought that they were harmless. I am not 100% back to where I need to be. I am slowly working some things out. I have a raging temper for minor things. I still use a vocabulary that would get me thrown out of any church or young school in the country. I still find humor where I should not. I am working things out. I have come a long long long way since the middle of the summer. My wife has noticed a big change. She is happy about that. There are alot of things in the world that can drag you down. And the big stuff is the easiest to avoid. It is the little habits that we all have that we need to avoid. I am human, and with the help of my Lord above, I will make it.

Oh WOW!!! Awesome story!!! OMG I am so happy you shared it.
