My Testimony

I have joy in God because He took me at my worst and made me great in Him. I have a hope that those around me do not have because I know that no matter what may happen in my life, God has a plan and will get me through it.

When I was a Junior in high school, my grandfather was put in the hospital for about 7 months. This man was the greatest influence in my faith walk and I thought that he was being taken from me. After a few months, I began to see how strong his faith was in God. He had a peace that someone in his situation shouldn't have had. I realized that God had a plan for this and used my grandfather's abundance of faith throughout this terrible situation to help me grow even more.

I can find rest in the fact that I can be just like my grandfather in the face of terrible situations or circumstances. I have peace when I should be terrified, and I have hope when I should be in despair, because I know that no matter what the outcome, I am a child of God and will be with Him for eternity.
