Testimony Time:
About 5 years ago I was a different person. Normal kid by America’s standards I moved out to California from Texas in order to pursue the California dream: film. Not acting, but directing. I used to go up to USC where one of my good friends attended the prestigious USC film school. We would drink and party what seemed like every weekend. After about 3/4 of freshman year of college (I went to community college down in O.C.) I started to get lonely, so as any American man does when he gets lonely find a girl. Well I wasn't too good with pick up lines so I went online to try to meet someone. And meet someone I did, her name was Jessica; sure she was a lot younger but that didn’t matter to me. After being together for about 3 months spending everyday together I moved in to her family’s house. Well I got kicked out of my house, seems my Dad didn’t take so kindly to her being so young and all. After living with Jessica and her family for almost a year I started going to church on Sundays pretty regularly. However this was just something I did on Sundays and the rest of the week I lived just like I had lived the rest of my life. One Sunday after church, I was driving to my job at the beer store and I got into a pretty bad car accident. I walked away but my car was totaled. I had no idea what I was supposed to do now. I couldn’t get to work or the beach, I didn’t have any money saved up and I was living with my 17 year old girlfriend. God used this position in my life to bring me to a place where I would finally listen to Him. I now had a lot of spare time and I began to read the pages of the New Testament. God poured out into me understanding and for the first time the bible made sense. I committed my life to the Lord sometime after that I don’t remember the exact day but I know that it was one of those nights that I stayed up praying. God began making changes in my life, where I was too proud to ever apologize or admit that I might have been wrong I now had a soft heart. But He didn't stop changing me there it is a process that won't be over until I hear the angels singing.
