I will send you a PM.

But fair warning - lots of hotly debated issues and often the language is most unChristian.

I havent made a testimony because ppl hardly even read testimonies let alone post in them but I figured I might as well.
I guess it begins when I was with my mom and dad, as a young kid as long as I could remember they were always abusive and starved me severely. I was always hungry and I was treated like a slave, I did all sorts of chores and for no reason at all they would hurt me. I had to clean the carpet with nothing but water and a tooth brush and they hit me a lot. I remember they would sit in a circle and I had to take my pants off and one by one they would stab my in the but with a sowing needle. there was one time they made me eat a cockroach another they made me eat my sisters poop another they made me drink my uncles throw up.

There was another time my mom cut my bottom with a knife and said the blood coming out was demons and scared me. my mom would sometimes make special pancakes for me, she would make pancakes crunch up lots of pills and say they were sprinkles and drench it in syrup. I knew I would black out if i ate it but i never get to eat good so I did it no problem.

Basically I had a terrible child hood, and I dont even remember the worst parts, when I was taken away at age eight apparently my parents spilled the beans of all they did and I was put in a foster home. my foster mom still wont tell me the parts I dont remember she said it was to gruesome and horrible for me to handle all i know is that they sexually abused me and lots of horrible things that my mind apparently cant remember because they starved me so bad and they drugged so much that I somehow had brain damage. at the age of eight I was the size of a four year old due to not being fed good so I had to eat a whole lot so my body could gradually catch up

I was put in a good foster home, the dad was a real jerk but i dont hold grudges. I had already forgiven my real parents I am not able to stay mad at someone trust me I have tried. I had 4 good years although I had medical issues they werent that bad but then I got cancer luekemia, its a deadly blood cancer. Cancer of course is no joy ride, you have to go through so much stuff like radiation and chemo therapy you get stuck with needles a whole lot and you get more medical issues from the radiation and it damages your body. I had it for four years but finally it was in remission meaning its basically asleep but can come back at any time. to this day I still suffer from the cancer and the damage it did to my body, I have many health issue I received another dose of brain damage and I now have diabetes. I even for some reason get this horrible pain in my nerves and bones.

People say I am brave and strong for fighting and beating cancer, but im not because I didnt do anything it was all because of the doctors help that I am even alive. there were a couple times i almost died and they saved me. all I did was put up with it.

I eventually graduated high school but because I cant drive due to the brain damage I cannot go to work as there is not a place to work in walking distance and plus I have trouble remembering simple things and following simple commands. So I live with my mom and in all likely hood will for the rest of my life because I have no way of earning money and cant live on my own. But anyways I was saved two years ago and it was the best decision I ever made, my family doesnt think I will ever amount to much or be anyone special but God says that I can and will

Suffering draws us closer to God. I can't even imagine how great was Blain's torment, but when he gets to Heaven he won't even remember it.

True suffering can draw us to God but it also can make us run away from him, some people have had rough lives and not only hate God because of it but blame him.

Not to mention my suffering isn't as bad as some of who have had it worse and still do so I cannot complain

This is true; I know people who turned their backs on God because of the trials they were going through.

Hi Blain! I cannot begin to imagine or fathom what you've been through and I will not pretend that I can relate cause I can't, but I praise God for being with you through all your tribulations and suffering that you've experienced. Like someone else also mentioned on here, once you get to heaven, God will wipe it out of your memory, and you will cease to remember the torment, and will be given a new heart and soul and praise God for eternity! May the Lord bless you and keep you safe in His care!

I don't ask that I don't remember it, in fact I want to remember to recall all that I went through and how God used all that to help others, if anything my suffering is only a shining beacon of God's love. As i said before my testimony isn't about me and I hope that my life now and everything within my heart also is not about me. Besides my suffering is far from over I don't suffer in the abuse from my past but I do suffer in different ways now which I know that even if it doesn't seem like it now he will use to shine his love and his glory just as he did before

Praise the Lord! God will (and I'm sure He has already) place you as a shining light to give glory to His name and strength and hope to others who may have been through something similar to your experience. Blessings to you!

What a fantastic testimony. One thing i want to remind you of: it's not what the world says, but what God says that matters. Anything is possible with God, you can do and be anything according to His will, not the earthly opinions of people which won't amount to a thing. Keep up the strength and positive attitude.

God bless you my dear son. I have two sons in your age group and it really pains to see a child suffer so much. Christ is coming back very soon and all our labours will soon be ended and it will be crowning day for you my son.

Hey Blain for some reason Christian chat won't let me respond to your messages. And I just read this testimony for the first time and all I can say is .. wow. You're A LOT stronger than me. You have my respect dude, forever. The fact that you stick with God through all this stuff is just amazing and admirable.
