Angies Testimony.

[Angie Rose]

hi all... im angie. i think i joined this site like a month ago but never actually jumped in 'till now. oops. anyway, been a kutless fan for almost 2 years now... so i figured it was about time. i guess ill introduce myself by posting my testimony here... its looong... haha

*deep breath* ok, here goes nothing. heehee

(i feel like im leaving somethign out here that i need to mention... im a really big jeremy camp fan, which you probably would of figured out soon enough, but maybe not, cause this is a Kutless site, and i LOVEEE kutless, too. )

i suppose i could simplify a long story and say that i am one screwed up girl who has been made a new creation in Christ, but i get the feeling that would be leaving WAAAY too much out. So heres the long story.

I've grown up in the church all my life. I accepted Christ into my life when i was 4 years old. I want to sunday school, i went to Missionettes, i was an honor star, and i was the captain of the Bible Quiz team. Maybe i just got so caught up in 'religion' and doing everything and living the christian life that i forgot to be broken before God. Maybe it was just seeing people around me living their lives like nothing was wrong. Maybe it was the media, and i was believing all the lies that they shoot at people everyday. I don't really know. Whatever it was, i soon found myself feeling very imperfect, and i was depressed about that. I was 11 when i first cut myself. Later i kinda came out of cutting, but being weak, satan (lowercased on purpose) was easily able to take my down with another lie, and from there its basically the story of the song in Kutless's song Down. Thankfully, i didn't damage my body to the point where i had to go the hospital or anything, but still. Ill have to shorten a really long story ( let me know if you want to hear it later... id be glad to share, but otherwise... ) and just say that through a series of events, God dragged me out (when i say dragged, i mean i was kicking and screaming the whole way) out of that pit. Now i'm a totally different person, and while i do still have some scars, emotionally and physically, i'm healing, and its not because of anything IV'E done at all. It's because of his "Passion"ate love for me that i am who i am today.

ok, i know that the way i wrote that made it seem like i dont really want to talk about this, because i didnt write about feelings at all... the truth is, i dont have a problem talking about cutting, depression, or eating disorders, and if anyone wants to message me or even start a discussion on here, im all for it. i just know this can be touchy material and some people may not feel comfortable reading the feelings that come with that stuff. so yea, if youre going through somethign like that or know someone who is, or your going through a rough time, or, well whatever, feel free to message me, if you want to talk. i don't bite. promise.

bye.
