I know you guys will not continue reading but for those who are CHRISTIANS out there, and those who are intersted about TESTIMONIES, then please continue reading and be inspired /chu~~

My family doesn't belong to the high class families, nor in the low class; we belong into the middle group. My mom owns a small store and sells variety of food and goods, and my dad is an electrical maintainace in my school. Even though we're 'not that' rich, we feel happy. Since I was young, my parents always teach me to be a God-fearing girl. My mom, my bro and I always go to the church and hear the mass however, I was too young to understand all the messages that God was telling me. My dad on the other side is not a Catholic but he is really a God-fearing man, he teaches me not to repeat my prayers, he teaches me to pray evry moment of my life. Yes, I grew up in a God-centered family and I am very lucky and very blessed. Even though I belong into a God-fearing family, I didn't had the time to read the bible or study the word of God.

When I was young, I didn't want to think that people die; yeah, I was quiet stubborn ;) whenever someone's talking about death, I would always cover my ears because of a very deep reason. Death for me is taking someone away from me, forever. Yeah, isn't it scary? Because I thought that after this life on Earth, we'll just be dust in the ground and nobody will ever remember us again. But then, my parents taught me heaven, they told me that there is where good people go. And so I thought, 'Maybe if I do good things, I'll be able to go to heaven and meet God and then I'll be living with my family again.'. Well ofcourse, if they taught me heaven, they also taught me that there is hell. I was (and still am) very afraid of hell because my mom told me that you'll burn there forever so I really obliged myself to do good things. Well, as to judging myself, I thought that I was really good! I'm a good person and all but then I realized that I wasn't. I lie, I cheat, I cuss, I hate some people, I idolize, I steal money from my mom and other sins. So yeah, I was basically not perfect because I'm just a person, a normal person it is (Well, a weird one, to be exact.)

As I grew up, my life was okay. I get what I want, I have what i want, I have the freedom to do the things I love, so it's beasically okay. But then, my life turned upside down when I reached 12 years old, I can still remember that uhm... day. It was summer, and I will be a sophomore on the coming school year (8th grade) when we had a major family problem. My mom and dad fought because of money, my dad found out that my mom have many loans to different loan sharks and we were indebted (it was almost 500,000 pesos). My mom and dad almost separated because of this and I didn't know what to do. As a kid, as a 12 year old-girl, I was always crying every night, I would always cry myself to sleep and basically, I experienced hell in a quiet early age. And because I needed someone who can save me, I asked for someone to be by my side. And ofcourse, I met.... JESUS. My Christian friend, brought me closer to God. That time was hard, it was hell, but then God was there and He saved me from all heartbreaks that I was experiencing. I have something to hold onto, a promise that I was keeping and that is, "Everything's gonna be alright. God is here, and He will take care of everything." My mom came to God too, she told me that God will help her and everything's gonna be alright. And so it did, my dad agreed to help my mom to pay all her debts and he will not leave us anymore.

That trial, was something I really cherished and I really thank God because of giving it to us because if it wasn't for THAT, I would still live my life as a dead person. I won't be able to know what life really is and after that problem, I learned that God is always there and that He will always be by our side. Also, I started attending Christian services in my brother's friend's church, and there I grew as a Christian. I learned to do devotion, I learned to read the Bible and center myself on making God happy and I also learned that good deeds will not help us go to heaven. Because God gave us His only Son which is Jesus and He cleansed our sins, He also opened the gates of heaven so that we can be with Him in paradise but that is, if we accept Jesus as our personal Savior. I did, I accepted God and I laid down all my life to Him, everyday I would pray and everyday, God will amaze me. Until now, I remember that trial and I know that the pain was worth it and God gave it to me for a reason.

Until now, I'm feeling the presence of God. I remember every morning, on the way to my school, I would pray silently to God and my prayer goes like this, "Dear God, thank You for this another wonderful day that You have given to us and Lord, forgive me for the sins that I'll be doing (yes, I know that my day will be hard and I can't help but do bad things XD) help me Lord God in everything and I lay everything to You Lord God. Also, help me not to be late in school because I'm afraid I'll be doing 30 jumping jacks early in the morning." yeah, I'm quiet a lazy bird in the morning so I was always asking God to do MIRACLES so that I'll be able to achieve all the things that I asked Him, ofcourse, through His help. And I did! I was seldomly late, and I don't do jumping jacks ;) and I thank God for those small miracles that He gave me. These things are only small tokens that helped me open my heart to God and I know, I'm still young (I'm 14 btw) and I'll be experiencing much more heavier problems, much more bigger Miracles and much more grace that God will be showing me. And I just pray to God to help me withstand everything in my life, every problem because I'm still afraid that I'll walk away from Him and I am really praying that I will always be by God's side.

Also,I want to add something about KPOP. Well, maybe some will say that I'm idolizing EXO, SNSD, Infinite and other groups but no. I just admire their awesome dancing and singing skills and I really pray that I'll be able to dance well, especially. Also, I admire their pretty faces and their strong personalities. And I think, God has some reasons why he introduced me to Kpop and I think that is to relieve some of my stress whenever I'm stressed out. Well, korean variety shows are really hilarious and I'm really admiring God's power to give such talents to kpop groups. Also, I think kpop dance is my way to express myself and most importantly, maybe God introduced me to Kpop so that I can inspire Kpop fans. I write for the fans so that they'll be inspired and notice the bible verses every chapter? My goal there is for you guys to understand the chapter more and always stay as a remembrance that God is guarding your heart ;)

Thank you for reading and I hope I inspired you guys about my testimony and maybe you're asking why I'm posting this. Well, I am here to share God's salvation and I want you guys to experience the same Miracles in your life. Love you guys and God bless ;)
