Hello my name is Tawnia, and I would like to share my testimony with you. I had (past tense) always been a person who worries, complains and frowns 95% of the day. I do believe, yet I had to ask myself, did I have faith?

I could not understand for a long time why my life was always up and down. There would be good things that happened but, then something bad always followed and that's when I would start the "why me God?" cry. This little tit for tatter went on for a number of years and I would go through the cycle. One day my pastor told me to just give my worries to God and leave them. I would go to God but, I never would leave my worries with him.

I started having trouble out of my middle child and just could not understand why God would allow me to go through this because I was a good child growing up. My life had started focusing more on the troubles with my daughter and not God; I guess I put him on a shelf. I continued to go to church and bible study every week but, no deliverance.

All of this worrying, complaining and strife started to take a toll on my health and I still had two other children to take care of. My mom died of a heart attack on September 29, 1975, at the age of 36 years young and I didn't want my children to have to grow up without a mom like I did.

After I had surgery and was out of work for 6 weeks I started to hear God talking to me, but I just ignored him. God continued to speak to me on a continual basis, sometimes I would listen and sometimes I wouldn't, but I never once acted on what He was saying to me. I would ask God to help me to be closer to Him because that's what I wanted and needed for me and my family. Once I began to talk to God more and call on the name of JESUS, it was like "whewww, okay Lord".

I began to become more positive, less worries and less complaining. Leaning and standing on God's word through prayer and faith will definitely bring you through.

On Sunday, September 24, 2006, my life totally changed. That was the day I clearly let God know that I heard what He was and had been saying to me for a number of years, "just trust Him through reading, living and praying His Word daily". I am happy, confident and a living testimony as to what God can bring you through.

My favorite scripture has always been Psalm 34:8 "O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him" I stand on that word totally now because, I still am a "Christian under Construction"
