hello lovelies ♥ i'm back with a new series where i will be featuring some friends of mine and whatever is on their heart. i believe that we have all been given a voice, and i wish for this to be a place where you feel comfortable and free to be yourselves. that was and still is my hope for simple surrender. now without mumbling on for too long, i am going to introduce my new friend, Christina. Hi! My name is Christina and I’m 14 years old. I have played the piano for about 6 years and my favorite color is pink! I was raised in a Christian home and attended a private school for most of life. When I was younger, I never really understood what “a relationship with God” is. I didn’t go to church too much when I was little because I would get bored, but my dad and grandpa would go every Sunday. (My mom stayed home with me and my younger sister and brother). When I was in fourth grade, I remember asking Jesus into my heart during a chapel service at school. That year, my spiritual life changed! I started going to church every Sunday with my dad and grandpa, and soon, my little sister came along. My younger brother has autism, which is a disability that causes the social aspect of your brain to not function properly. He is not mute, but he can’t have a regular conversation and he can only say a few words. So he stayed home with my mom. After years have passed and I look back at when I was younger, I see that God used my brother’s disability to teach me to pray. Early in my spiritual life, when I would pray, the first thing on my list would be “to pray for my brother’s healing from autism.” As I continued, I started also praising God instead of just asking Him for things. Then, my spiritual life really started to grow positively. From then on, I’ve become a lot closer to God and I am amazed at how He used my brother’s disability to change my life! Thanks for reading my testimony!
