Anyway, she wanted the stories in her comment section so since she had tagged me, I posted mine. I'm going to post it here as well. I couldn't get it down past 109 words though, but I guess that isn't too bad.
So, I tag anyone who reads this and wants to take part. Also, if you have any further questions about my story/testimony feel free to ask.
Hmmm...100 words. Not sure if I can make it that short, but I'll try...ok, I'm back now with 109 words.
My Story
I knew Christ as a child and went to church until age 12. I have always believed Jesus is God’s Son who died on the cross for our sins. Eventually, I fell away from my faith, and by my mid-twenties I was on a path that was quickly leading to destruction. Amid the mental/emotional pain and turmoil I was experiencing, I called out to God for help. He heard me. But it took me eight years before I came back to Christ. That was seven years ago. It hasn’t been all peachy-keen along the way, but I know He is there for me and forgives me when I mess-up.

*deep breath* Here goes:
I was born and raised in a home where we knew and loved Jesus. In my teens and early twenties, I waffled a bit, not knowing that I didn't REALLY know God. My marriage went into a very bad place, and my hubby and I almost called it quits. We finally asked God for forgiveness and REALLY turned our lives over to Him. OK my husband did first, and I followed about 18 months later. I felt LOVED. I felt free and humbled and amazed and even though it took me so long, I am so glad to be here now.
That was 101.
hi
I grew up in a "nominal" Christian home and went to "church" in the Air Force Chapel system. I never heard the gospel until I attended First Baptist Chruch of Warner Robins, GA, where I repented of sin and trusted Christ. He called me into His service, and I have served Him ever since. Some times better than others. Though I have not always been faithful to Him, He has always been faithful to me.
