MiTestimony
In 2021 I was active in drug culture and I didn’t have much of a relationship with God, I was very far from Him. I didn’t know what to do with my life or even why I was here. I was depressed quite often, almost always. While I was going through all of that, I was trying to find some purpose in my life. I really enjoy art and drawing so I thought that I should pursue becoming a tattoo artist because I have tattoos myself. It is a beautiful work of art. So I started doing drawings for a tattoo studio in JHB. After a while I realized they were wasting my time so I decided to stop doing drawings for them and instead I would just do drawings to build my portfolio. I was planning on going to a Christian tattoo studio and turning in my portfolio but the owner was never available. At the time I didn’t know that it wasn’t God’s plan for me and that’s why it wasn’t working out. After a few attempts on handing the portfolio in, I gave up on that idea too.
Not long after I gave up, my gran told me about MiXchange. She showed me a vlog that the MiXchangers of ’21 made – it’s the peanut butter vlog (GO CHECK IT OUT) It seemed like a lot of fun (come to find out it’s even more fun than it looked) and it looked like everyone was great friends and true friends (which we are), but I wasn’t sold out to it yet. That next Sunday after the service I had a meeting with Pastor Christi. After that, I was all in for MiXchange. God really moved in that meeting with her. If I didn’t have that meeting with her I don’t know where I’d be in life now if I hadn’t given God my yes to come to MiXchange.
And after all of that, God has saved me from myself and from the drug culture, and with the revelations I’ve been receiving from Bible School and just from the life being spoken I have been delivered from depression. I was struggling with it for 8 years and this year (2023) I was delivered and I haven’t hit a bump or anything. PRAISE THE LORD!!
