♥ FAVORITE VERSE:
25 Whom have I in heaven but you?
   And earth has nothing I desire besides you.
26 My flesh and my heart may fail,
   but God is the strength of my heart
   and my portion forever.
-Psalm 73:25-26

♥ TESTIMONY:
Hi my name is Laura and Jesus has taken me from an overly judgmental hypocrite to a person determined to show Gods love to everyone I meet. From a young age I would have considered myself a Christian as I grew up in a Christian family. Still I didn’t really start pursuing Him till the sixth grade. I began to try to give everything to Him and to do everything for Him. I wanted my friends to know Him as well, but in reality my world still revolved around me. In junior high my parents placed me into a private Christian school where they thought I might be able to grow more in my faith. Whenever someone did something I thought was contradictory to God’s standards, judgment would immediately enter into my head if they said they were Christians. The truth is that just because I was going to a Christian school did not mean that everyone there was seeking to live the Christian life. Still somehow it was like I thought they were worse sinners than me. People didn’t respond well to this. Looking back at that point in my life I regret so many things I did and said. I know I must have often pushed people away from God, which horrifies me.

By my 9th grade year I was fed up. It seemed like no matter how “purely” I lived my life God was not using me just wasn’t to help people’s spiritual lives. Then I went to this summer camp and God used a speaker there to seriously change my world. He talked about how Jesus wasn’t about judging people, he was about loving them. He valued and loved us so much that He was willing to die for them while they were still sinners. Jesus hung out with “the worst of the worst”. The truth is we are all sinners. I knew that before but somehow there was some kind of disconnect in my head. That night God changed my heart. No longer did I see people as lesser than me. I made it my goal to love people the way Jesus loves them and to see them through his eyes. He lead me away from the school I was attending and I am currently going to public school. I see people everyday that are searching for God’s love in the wrong places and God has given me the chance to show them where this love they are searching for can be found.
