Chelsea Johns testimony
Terry and I had a visitor this afternoon...
We are watching our kids and our nieces and nephews coming of age. We are watching the choices they are making and not making. We are watching how all these children are making a choice not to serve God fully.
God is not a God of rules. He is a God of love. You decide to be obedient out of love for Him not because He says you can't do this or that. Baby christians sometimes only see what you give up but I guarantee you receive so much more in return. God will take that desire to act out in the flesh and remove it from you. You just must want it.
My niece posted a blog on her myspace page. I want to share it with you. Her testimony has touched me deeply. As a church we need to step up to the plate. The next generation is falling to the wayside....

Current mood:Ehh..whatever Well well well...where do I start? Three months ago I was one of the happiest girls in the world. I am coming to terms with being single...a status that I loved. I Started going to church, working and just started being a normal girl. I quit drinking,smokin and ya know all the "fun" stuff..that just gets ya into trouble anywayz! Then I'll be damned if i didnt let myself fall back into my old ways.....I quit going to church, I lost my job and then i got worst news (at the time)..I am 2 months pregnant! Damn!! Is the only thing I could say! Now, I am not writing this for some lame pity party..I mean I know just as well as anyone else, if your gunna have unprotected sex, there will be conquences. I just never thought this would happen to me, I mean like this. Heck, I never even wanted kids to start with and now I dont have a choice. I mean dont get me wrong I am for sure going to make the best of this situation. O and just to throw this off in there I know who that dad is...so everyone else is off the hook...( ok really im not a slut I was just throwing some humor off it there). I've taken a few days to myself and just complety come to terms with this and my situation...and all is can say is all my friends were so right, and I am so sorry! Btw..Ashley I will pay more attention to surgeons general...for 7 more months...but after that Malboros here I come!! At first I thought my life Is completly ruined, no more parties or clubs or random trips to MTSU to see Telita, but now...I dont feel like that at all! I am like so excited and I am just ready to get this whole pregnancy and labor thing out of the way..and be a good Mom to my son..or daughter (hopefully son). I mean I've come to terms with the whole single mom thing and thats another struggle that I am going to have to face,but ya know ive been through so much here lately thats like the least of my worries. Now there was no definite purpose for writing this blog..i just felt like it..and to be honest it just a bunch of random rambleing about absolutly nothing but....ya know thanks for taking the time to read it.. |
When our nephew came to see us this afternoon it is basically the same story as above. Bad choices are being made and they will eventually catch up to him.
We've made this Christian walk about ourselves but it is so much bigger than us. We have a hurting generation, choosing to try to make it without God. So what are we going to do about it?
This generation has trouble depending on faith alone. They want to see the evidence that God exists. It is what they know. They have grown up in an age that we didn't. They have had the best of what the world has to offer. They need to know God is real....
God I pray you manifest Your Presence, not for me but for them.
These children need You....
Hi,
Andrea...I wouldn't call this a testimony...I would call this a cry for help.

What we say about our life, what we say about where we have come from and where we are going is powerful.
Chelsea is working on that testimony......
