My Testimony

Throughout the years I have had to moved a lot and changed schools many times because my dad was in the military. My family had always taken me to church but I what came across my mind was "learning about some guy that died a long time ago is boring". In school I was a smart kid, I would get high honer roll but I was occasionally pull some pranks on the teachers with some friends. When I arrived to Panama for vacation from Germany I said in one of my aunts house for the 2 months we stayed here. On Sunday my other aunt and her family invited me to go to church with them about five years ago. I sat through the entire sermon and I still remember what the sermon was about to this very day. Because of that one sermon I started praying more for my dad, who was in Iraq, my family and stuff like that. I felt different inside. Within a year my dad retired from the army, I went to school in the states for like a month and a half, and I moved down to Panama in May. My family at the time was not doing well economically and we were living in very tough circumstances. Later on in mid October I got very sick with an pneumonia and had to stay in the hospital for a week. That event made me realize that I was nothing without Jesus and after that I started going to CBC again and into sunday school towards the end of January. Throughout my relationship with Jesus I have had my highs and lows but if it wasnt for the lows in my relationship I would never have my high points.
