"There is no knowing that does not begin with knowing God.” ― John Calvin
Purpose
To express my thoughts on various subjects in hopes to encourage fellow believers in Christ. I like to think a lot and so, I have a lot of things I could say. Most of those things are posted in my blog, but other things I am interested in or that have helped me in some way are posted as well. I do my best to only post what I believe God would have me say.
About Me
Name: Michelle Religious Views: Evangelical/ Reformed
My Testimony: I have been a Christian since I was fourteen years old, but I have not always followed God's will for my life. My senior year of high school I began to have health problem after health problem. I had only begun to read my bible my junior year of high school and have more of a intimate relationship with God. So, not too long after I first experienced the chronic pain I turned away from God. I did not understand the whole suffering thing and felt that God couldn't possibly love me to let me live in pain day in and day out. During that time I made terrible choices and sinned greatly. By the end of that year I was at my lowest point. So full of shame for all the things I had done, I could hardly stand to live another day. I knew I had two choices, die or believe that Jesus died to save me. I chose the later. This was only about six years ago, but God has changed me so much since then. The first year and a half of college I struggled with a sin that I had struggled with since I was a little girl. I thought I would never be free from it, but Christ died to set me free, and set me free he did! God is still purifying me and cleansing me from sin, namely pride, but I have never felt so free before.
