Developing the Faith-ics (My Testimony)

This is my first attempt to chronicle my rebirth bare with me as I work out the kinks ………… Before I was found I didn’t even know I was lost(I even thought I was saved), I didn’t even know of the joy one could have in this life. My part of the journey started about a year ago after a break up with a girl, God works, and has always been working in me, and everyone else, He can work above any circumstance, as He did with this one making this action one that ultimately contributed to my salvation. She knows who she is and if you are reading this thank you, I hope we stay in touch. I walked in the shade before basking in the sun filling me up with warmth. After the break up I went to fill the void, which I did but I found a bigger void along the way. I was stuck in a cycle of trying to fill this void I started to notice in my life. I tried a verity of earthly joys to fill this void, to no avail. My walk was the farthest from Him right before He started working the most in me. On today's lax standards I was nowhere close to every being a BA, I didn't do anything like shoot up or find multiple sex partners, but looking back I now know I did a lot of things that pained God immensely, I still pain Him because I still sin but I am working on it now. All those things I did to fill the void left it larger. Giving me short lasting unfulfilled joy. If any of you are not saved and are currently "enjoying" the sin life you don't want to give up because its "fun", I grantee Jesus will bless you more than any product, service, (wo)man or substance could every even come close to.

It was when I was about to fall I started listening to God letting Him pull me up. I didn't know it yet but God had plans to rebirth me (as he does with everyone this is the time I started listening). Like any conceiving process there is a developing stage(always develop with God you can't do it yourself, don't wait to get right with Him let Him make you right). This is the time I stopped trying to fill that void with earthly things. I was amazed to find when I stop trying to fill the void with my strength alone the hole I made larger with this activity and that one shrink back to the huge God shaped hole it once was. This is where my story hits a major cross road the void stoped shrinking, fortunately God had a plan using those around me to Lead me to Him. This is when the Faith-ics start, and the invitation to Brandon’s youth group picks up. This never ending testimony doesn't stop there, it is the time I began "Starting the Faith-ics" which I will go into with more detail than I had before on my next testimonial blog (my Faith-ics blogs).
