My testimony has always been something I've been extremely reluctant to share, due to the fact that 90% of my story has been kept secret from family, friends, and even those I would consider closest to me. As with any testimony, my story is never finished because it's constantly ongoing, so I wanted to make sure that I was in a place of peace before I shared everything that got me to this point.
I was reluctant to include a lot of the specifics in this, but I felt like including each backslide and mistake helped remind myself that we're all human, so I hope it has the same effect on whoever is reading this.
Obviously, Christianity comes with a lot of risks, but I think it's safe to say that exposing all of my truths out to the world might be one of the riskiest things I've ever done.
I'm trying to avoid thinking about the amount of judgement I will receive and the amount of trouble I'll be in for a lot of this(sorry mom), but at the end of the day, I know that every time I read a story similar to mine, it gives me a little bit more hope, and a lot more self assurance to know that I'm not alone, and if I can help one person feel that, then this is a risk worth taking.
