This is my testimony, although I have been through many troubles and trails, I still do my best to
live for the One who made it possible.
Over this Christmas holiday, there has been a lot of ice on the roads. One time during this icey
period, my dad and I had an errand to run that could not wait. So, we got in the truck, and we went. Everything went fine
until the trip home. There is one VERY steep hill, the first hill on my road, that was COMPLETELY covered with ice. (Jeffrey
knows what hill I am talking about. The one right before you get to his house.) Well, we got ALMOST up to the top of the hill,
and the tires wouldn't grip the ice. Well, Dad says, "Hang on, we're gonna hit the ditch." Well, I felt it when it started
sliding, and then, we turned, facing the opposite direction of where we were headed, and hit the ditch. I remember, as we
were turning, all I thought to say was "In Jesus Name." From that point, instantaniously, I felt like great and mighty arms
were wrapped around me, the truck, and my dad. I was very calm through it all. Though, there was some subconcience fear. I
didn't think about the fact that we COULD have flipped over, or that we COULD have been hit by other cars if they came down
the hill. I was just thankful we didn't. I was alive, and my dad was alive, and that is all that matters. Well, where I live,
we're out in the boonies. So, we had VERY poor cell phone reception. We tried to get through to mom, but she couldn't hear
us. Though, we could hear her. She told us that she would send our Grandpa to get us. (She couldn't, she had just got out
of surgery, and couldn't drive.) Well, it wasn't two minutes after that, my cousin rolled up in his duelly. Well, he had a
chain with him, and he pulled us out. Then, right behind my cousin, came papa. And he was just gonna give us a ride home,
because he didn't have the equipment, with him, to pull us out. We were blessed that day, and I thank God that I felt
His hand, reach further down, than I could reach up.
I have seen many things that I wish I hadn't and I have had a great deal of sin in my life, but through
it all, I am still living for God. I have always liked to write poems, and I loved to write. period. but still, it seemed
like there was something that I couldn't do right. Well, for a while, I gave up on the poems. Then, here recently, I just
felt like getting out some paper and writing my thoughts down on paper. Well, as I did, I realized, that it wasn't just thoughts,
but that they would all have a same purpose. To glorify God. I have always tried to write great poems, but I have found that
when you let God do it, instead of trying to do it on your own, it is not only great, it is AWESOME. I have enjoyed
writing my poems, and hope that you enjoy reading them. I am also very happy that I found God before it was too late. Or,
more like, He lifted me, and I saw Him.
I want to thank all of my friends and family for all their support and love. I thank you all for
staying with me, and never giving up hope. I pray that God blesses every one of you. In all that you do.
I would also like to thank God for allowing me to have so many friends that I can trust, and showing
me before it was too late the ones that I couldnt. I thank God for giving me such a wonderful family, and wonderful friends.
