My Christian Testimony

Testimony

     Hi, my name is Tatum Quinn Humphrey. I am a born again Christian. I believe in God, salvation, and Heaven/Hell. I do not believe in evolution. I want to share my testimony with you. Now if you do not know what a testimony is. I will explain, a testimony is your story. It involves three parts before, during, and after Christ entered your life.
        So I grew up in a Christian home with my mom Kerryann, dad Matt, and two older brothers Zane and Noah. I lived a pretty boring Christian kid life. I went to church and VBS. But it didn't mean anything ! It was just what I did. Something a little different though, is I grew up in a small Mormon town in Utah.I still live there to this day.  Mormons or LDS is a religion that Joseph Smith created. It is a play off of Christianity, and they often confuse themselves with Christians. Living in this town I knew I didn't fit in. I knew something was not quite right. However I didn't know what.
        One day when I was around the age of 6, I was in church and it all kinda clicked. The only way that I can describe it is like a puzzle and I was slowly putting the pieces in and that day I got a big piece to that puzzle put in place. It was a great feeling.
When I was at the age of 7 I went to a Christian camp in Cedar, CMR. This is a 4 day camp away from your parents. Up in the mountains. No cell phones, internet, wifi, none of that ! They barely even allowed cameras up there. It truly was just you, God, and all your Christian brothers and sisters. To this day I still go to these camps and appreciate the Holy Spirit. You have teen counselors at these camps. And they take you on walks out in nature. They ask you questions about yourself and your salvation. At the time I still did not know what was wrong with me in school and in my small town in general. My counselor ,Lindsey, that day though helped me realize. It was not me that was weird and out of place. I was put there for a reason. God has placed my Christian family in this town to share His word and witness to others. Lindsey helped me understand that I needed God to help me share this word.  I  could not do this alone. So on that day July, 7th 2008  God entered into my heart. He picked me up in His hands and held me in His grasp. To never be taken away by the devil.That day another puzzle piece was filled.
        Now after I was saved I felt a burden lifted off my shoulders. I felt happy the whole time I was there. I had fun sharing that I was saved with all my brothers and sisters in Christ. It was just fun and I expected it to stay that way forever. Then I was pushed back into the cruel mormon/devil filled world. I was alone. I didn't know how to cope with this feeling. I was the only Christian there. How could I not feel alone. It was only when I was with my Christian friends that I shared this word of God. Later I discovered that God needs me to share this more. How can I just sit in a corner all alone. And keep this amazing gift of everlasting life to myself ! Although everything was different it also was the same. I felt like I didn't do it right. I did something wrong and God hadn't forgiven me of my sins. I was wrong, He later revealed to me that I have something different. I have Him.
     I now am comfortable sharing Christ. And love to take any chance I can get to do so. Everyday is a new chance to discover more puzzle pieces and someday I will complete that puzzle. Now I know where I belong and where I am supposed to be. This town sometimes feels like a curse, sticking out so much is hard. But God is using me and I am grateful for this ! Although sometimes life seems hard and like everything is against you. When you feel that way think of Christ and what He did for you !
