A couple weeks ago, I went on a retreat with the young adults from church. It was an amazing time to getting to know people and enjoying God's beautiful creation. I would go back in a heartbeat. That weekend 2 guys shared their testimony and I was inspired by their strength and vulnerability to share their story with others. I realized after they shared that I need to own my story. I do to an extent but not completely. I am been trying to write my testimony since this summer and for some reason I can never really finish it. Sometimes I feel like I don't have much of a story to tell. But I also realize each person is part of a puzzle that God is creating and with out our stories/lives the puzzle will never be complete. Part of it is that I don't want to make people look bad who have wronged me in my life but it is part of my story and who I am. The other day I realized that I need to take another approach to writing my story, it's not about what who has wronged me and what I have been through. It's about God and what he has done in my life and where he has brought me to. God is molding me into a work of art. And with every trial that I face in life it is part of him molding me into a beautiful woman of God. I am still trying to figure what all it means to own my story and this is the first step. And in the near future I want to finish my testimony and glorify God through it. I believe that God will use my story in some shape or form to help others in their walk with him. We all have a story and each story is as equally important as someone else's.

here's what i was told when i wanted to write my testimony:
1) tell about your life before christ
2) how/when did you accept christ?
3) how is God working in your life, so that you're still growing?
those are the 3 main points you need to answer to have a complete testimony. you're right it'll never be complete because God'll continue blessing you to the ends of the earth, but hey at least it's a good start. Good Luck! God Bless!
