Hi. My name is Miranda, but they call me sister. I thought you would all benefit from hearing my testimony.
I have always been an angry girl. It was my nature. I hated the world and thought of God as someone who made me fall. My dad and I would laugh at the Christians and people who passed out bibles all the time. But I kept feeling like I was missing out on a part of the world. (I was) But I still kept pushing those who wanted to help me away. I read and that was it. I remember reading "The Hero and the Crown" By Robin McKinley. It became my favorite book because I could relate with the main character (Aerin). Well, the next year I went on to 7th grade and I would carry the book around everywhere. I loved it. As a matter of fact, I loved it too much and I had to tape pages back in. Well, I had only about 3 friends, and they were all outcast athiests like me. Well, one day I was waiting for Kelsey to get her stuff from her locker and the girl next to her was totally overloaded with books and papers. She dropped one of her books and I bent down to pick it up, but I stopped and freaked out when I realized it was "The Hero and the Crown"!!! I told her that it was the best book in the world and she dropped all of her stuff and hugged me. I was so excited that somebody had good taste in books! She told me she was in my Math class and that she would see me the next day, and I was so excited. We talked about the book for hours. Well, soon after we became best friends. and she invited me to her youth group, i was totally against those things and I didn't want to go, but i did because she did. well, you know the story, one thing led to another and I fell in love with JESUS! Now i live everyday like it's my last and I try to witness to my family. People i don't even know come up and ask me about god because they tell me i have a glow and strength about me. I thank God that I have all these oppertunities to share this and spread the gospel i could just burst! And it was all over a simple book. can you believe it?
Because of Christ,
Sister
