my story, God's plan. - Christian Teen Chat & Discussion Forum

I may not have any near death experiences, but I still have been a witness of many miracles.

It started out that I was born In January of 1991 in Concord, NH. my parents already had 3 children and had an operation done so that there could be no more. but for some reason, after about 10 years they decided there was room for another member in the family. at the time, once you had the operation to not have a child, then had an operation to have a child reduced your chances to be able to become pregnant. But yet somehow it worked, and I was born.

at 6 years old I attended sunday school regularly but God was just kinda "there". I didn't have much personality and I tended to always find someway to get what I wanted. stealing was my main method. I went to a public school all through 5th grade and by that time I was getting better. but God was still like a president to me. just existing, doing things, but not really personable. In 6th grade I started going to a Christian private school and I hated my parents for making me go because all my friends were going to the local public school. I hated the chapels. I thought they were so boring! and at the same time, the media and the temptations were getting the best of me. of course I'd feel guilty every chapel and made every effort to not be so interested in sex (I hadn't done it, but I did want it at some points) and gradually I became much better. at the same time I played video games all the time, and they were becoming my reality. I was totaly obsessed with this one game, Golden Sun. eventually over the summer between 7th and 8th grade I joined a forum about the game. my first forum.

that was when my life totaly got flipped around. I met my first forum friend and he was a Christian. he introduced me to another girl who I found out was almost the mirror image of me. we became best friends and my friendship grew with more and more people. meanwhile in school, I had an awesome teacher who's motto for the class of 2009 was "personalize your faith". he had us listen to Christian songs and personalize them. "tunes for tuesday" is what they were called, and I loved doing them, even though they were assignments. He also had us write in our journals doing "quiet time". we'd write a short summary of what we read, how it relates to us, and what can we do about it. I grew closer to God so much because my teacher helped me realize how i could personalize my faith-- so many of my online friends were not christians, and I vowed to God to try to shine the light and help them see the truth. through being called names for believing and many unsuccesful tries, God was always there for me, and there with me. And towards the end of the year...as I'm moving onto 9th grade, I will so miss those chapels. too bad I diddn't see how fun worshiping and praising God is, sooner.

I almost lost a coupple friends too. one of them, who at the time was my boyfriend :oops: shot himself. I got mad at him for saying something about my best friend (kate), and her boyfriend got mad at him also. you see, my bf was a very emotional person and couldn't take much critcism at all. I found out a few days later when he was online and he said he missed and got himself in the shoulder. that was my first true miracle.

Then a few months later in march kate almost killed herself as well. She'd been under a ton of pressure and her parents were mad at her for not getting into this smart school she applied for. I told her I'd see her later, and she was like "I doubt it". we got a hold of one of her friends, amy, and she said that she had just talked on the phone with kate and she'd been joking about killing herself. then we got ahold of one of kate's other friends and she said that she hadn't been at school for a few days and no one had talked to her-- that amy was going crazy. I thought for sure that I had lost kate...that I had lost my best friend. I prayed to God so much that he'd give us (my friends and I) a miracle, and that she would come back. one of her friends (and mine as well) was like " I'm sure she'll come back...I hope so." I didn't think she would, but he gave me hope. just as soon as I did, I saw her pop online. Thank God...she was alive! She almost killed herself, but her mother caught her so she ran away to an old friends house.

so through everything, not only have I grown in Christ, but I've been taught many lessons. that no matter how hard things get, and how impossible things seem, God always has a plan and nothing is going to get in the way of it. Another thing he's taught me is that, even when things seem horible, and we think "how could God let this happen to me?" Its all for a better purpose in the end.
