Abigail's Testimony

I grew up in a mainly Christian home, until the most devastating event happened when I was in the second grade. My mom died. After that, our family was broken. Even though we should have grown closer with the Lord, unfortunately we strayed away from Him and His promises for us.

I lived my life in sin, I did not go to church, I did not read the Bible, and I hurt others. But mainly, I was killing myself. I did not realize all of the damage I caused was because I was not living by the fruits of the spirit, until the end of 2018 when I realized I surrounded myself with people that filled my soul with hatred and anger and I decided I did not want to live that way anymore.

In the beginning of 2019 I decided to go to church for the first time since 2007. Since Jesus gave the biggest sacrifice by dying for our sins, I gave the biggest sacrifice by leaving all of my, at the time, only friends in the hopes that I would be blessed and forgiven. I surrendered my life to him and in turn He reconnected me with the one person I hurt the most whom I wanted in my life more than anyone, more faithful friends that encourage rather than discourage, and a new soul.
