Every time I start to think I am doing good and start to get proud of myself, God humbles me and shows me that I still need him. I Thank God for his mercy and that he still loves me. I thank God for teaching me humility or more like continuing to teach me about Humility. His a great and merciful God.

What he did for me
My Testimony
Basically, I was saved, May 5, 2010.
But let me fill you in on the before and work my way to that day.
About, lets see 2-3 weeks before May 5, God started to show me that's something wasn't right in my spiritual life. I knew in my heart that something was wrong. Lets go back farther, In April 2007 I made a profession of salvation, the only problem was that I didn't mean a word I said and God had not placed me under conviction. I had deceived myself from that time since.
But, back to the story, I knew something wasn't right.
For instance the Fruit of the Spirit: I had no peace, joy, etc.
And then I would ''repent'' of my sin and it seemed as if nothing happened. And when I would pray it felt like I was praying to air.
So, after a week or two passed nothing had changed. But, I knew Missions Meeting was coming. So, I asked God to show me that week whether I was really saved or not. When Missions Meeting started all of the preachers were preaching on the church. You see a situation in the church had recently occurred. So the week was passing and I thought ''There isn't going to be anything for me.'' But another preacher got up and was preaching about the church. But, during that message God led him to talk about Salvation and he mentioned how you have to believe and be ''SERIOUS'' about being saved. And I realized that I didn't believe God in April of 2007 and I was not serious.
Now I knew that I was lost. And I asked God to put me under conviction that I might be saved. God not only worked through that message but I had a New Testament bible. And it gave key references to verses how to be saved. And I read those verses each day. And on May 5, 2010 I was reading those verses and God brought conviction in my heart and I knew that I needed to repent of my sins and be saved. Now, at this time we were living in the church. Well, I left my room and walked out into the sanctuary and sat on the right side 2nd row pew. And the devil was putting in my mind if I could really believe God. But I made decision right there to believe God. And I repented of my sins and turned from them to God and he saved my soul right then and there.
And I just want to thank God for saving me during the mess the church was in. And he thought of a little 12-year old girl during that whole situation when he could have been doing a whole bunch of other things.
Thank you, God.
