My Testimony

My name is Justin and for thet longest time I was going through a depression. It was triggered by the abuse that I would get from people at school and what made it worse was my grandpas death. I accepted Christ as my Savior when i was 8 years old but at the time of my depression I had kicked Him out of my life.

For the last 3 years I have been living in a depression and have been keeping it quiet. I would often talk to myself and tell myself that I am a failure and that I was worthless. I would get angry at everything. No one knew what I was going through because on the outside I pretended to be happy. Last year people started verbally abusing me so badly I wanted to kill myself but I couldn't because there are so many better things to look forward to in life.

This summer I gave my life back to Christ and now I want to use the love that He has for me and show it to other teenagers who are battling the same thing that I went through. I plan on going to Ozark Christian College and majoring in youth counseling so that I can show the power of God's love for us to many other depressed or suicidal teenagers.
