No Drama, No Testimony? No Way...
So you think you don’t have much of a testimony if you don’t have any drama in your life… Well think again! I know we have all heard those dramatic testimonies from girls who have been delivered from drugs, alcohol, or some other kind of addiction and thought, “Wow, I wish I had something that amazing to tell”. While it is wonderful to hear how God has intervened in their lives and made such a difference, don’t be fooled, you too are an amazing witness even if you don’t know it.
When I was in high school, there was a girl named Deborah. She was beautiful, popular and the nicest girl in the school. She was very outspoken about her faith and stood strong in her beliefs. All the boys wanted to date her but she would choose her dates wisely. Most of the time she didn’t have a boyfriend, much to the dismay of the guys in the school. I used to watch her from afar and wish I had stayed true to my faith and my convictions. She was such an inspiration to me and she didn’t even know it. All the time when I would see that she was in a situation where she could have been swayed to make the wrong choice, I would be so happy to see her stay strong in her beliefs. Whether it was in a class debate regarding abortion or pre marital sex, she would state her belief with such calm resolve you couldn’t help but admire her.
I never told Deborah that she impacted my life during those years. Now that I have been out of high school so long I wouldn’t even know how to find her if I wanted to. The truth of the matter is, she made me see way back then that it was possible to love God and still have fun-filled high school years. So…KEEP ON MAKING THOSE VALUE BASED CHOICES GIRLS, you never know whose life you’re affecting or who’s watching you!
