LIFE!

So I have decided since I am really bored, even tho I have school to do, to tell you about my life (testimony basically). Wellllll its a really really long story! Even tho I'm not that old! :D haha
When I was about 5, I went to church and sang all the happy songs, praising Jesus! And when every the teacher would ask the question, we lil kids would have no idea and just say "Jesus!" haha!
But I was listening to these fun upbeat worship for kids songs and then I started tearing up a lil' (I was 6-7 at the time) and I went to the bathroom and asked Jesus to come into my heart. Side note: Everynight my mom would sing this song to us: "Into my heart, into my heart, come in to my heart, Lord Jesus. Come in to stay, come in today! Come in to my heart, Lorrddd Jesuussss." It was so AMAZING! LOVE YA MOM! THANKS! So my mom told me about how when we ask Jesus into our hearts, He comes in and never leaves us, and He takes the blame for all the bad stuff we have done and will do. He SAVES US FROM THE "BAD PLACE". (She said it in a way so a lil girl would understand) So thats why I did that in the bathroom. But I didn't really tell anyone that I did that. I didn't know what it really meant. I lived in the same place for 9 years (it was the second best part of my life)........
Then we moved and life was really really BAD! and dull, depressing, sad, misserable, etc. You get the point. My life went downhill. So many years wasted doing NOTHING that glorifies JESUS! :( :'( SAD!
But we still had Bibles on our shelves, never really read them, didn't really remember what they were. We stopped going to church cause we lived out in the MIDDLE OF NOWHERE! Literally, thats not a figure of speech! The nearest grocery shop was like 40 miles away. O_O
So I had this "friend" she lived right across the road, really really close. We hung out A LOT! If I wasn't spending the night at her house, she was at mine. It was really sad cause my parents were never home and Phil had summer baseball something. So one day my dog started going berzurk! And biting me and stuff, then I saw our bookshelf shaking, nothing else was shaking tho. IT WAS REaLLY SCARY! My "friend" said it was ghosts. OOooo
But now I know it wasn't of course. But I won't tell the rest of that. I just remember always hiding in my room or being at my friends house, not really getting to know my parents. Then we moved within like 3 months! I went to public school, we were still not going to church, and I had no friends cause everyone at school was either really girly or really mean. So basically my only friends were my dog, this 8 year old girl, and whoever was friends w/ Phil. And our adult neighbors. :) Then my parents split for a while and me and my mom moved out into an apt. down the road. like 2 blocks down the road, you could see were we lived from the other apt.
But it was weird and sad. Then we moved AGAIN! Life started getting a bit better, but I still hadn't except Jesus yet! :(
Me and my mom lived with my sissy for a while and I went to public school w/ my niece and nephew. I made lots of friends there! Then we started going to church! :D And it took me a while about a year or so to finally understand. I was 12 when I was watching this Revelation/ Tribulation movie and after learning everything in church and sunday school and watching that movie I finally GOT IT!! BTW we moved 3 times while we were going to that church. So my sister was living with us this time (instead of us living with her), her and my dad left for the store, and my mom was home, and I started crying, told my mom what I was feeling and asked her what I do. So she told me to pray, and before we did she asked me if I was truly meaning it from my heart, I said yes. Then we prayed together, and hugged, so emotional, I'm tearing up just typing this. Then afterwards, my mom told me that up in Heaven all the angels were having a party and dancing and singing because I believed! :D So I started dancing too! ^_^
:')

After that I got baptized, Phil did too. THAT WAS SO AWESOME! I didn't know what it meant to be baptized till I was getting baptized! Haha like the week before I was going to get baptized my mom asked me what it means to be baptized, like whats the point and stuff. So I had nooo idea. haha But my mom told me, then after I knew I was even more excited to do it!!!! I was baptized in a horse trough. HAHA!! :D That was even cooler! hehe
YAYZ! Then we moved.....again. :P Not that far from our church, but far enough to go to a different church. So thats the church I am going to presently. I think I have been going for about 2 years or so.
I LOVE MY CHURCH! I LOVE EVERYONE IN IT!
Now I just here doing school, reading the Bible, getting old, trying to obey God's law, aaanndd fellowshipping a lot w/ other believers in JESUS! :D Love ya guys, I now I'm saying it again but I DO MEAN IT!! Haha

Well enough about ME, I, and myself!
I hope you enjoyed my fun, boring, depressing life, yet wonderful and amazing later on! If that makes any sense. Here are some childish memories :D

Thats where I got baptized! ^_^
My best bud, that was when I was 8
