Trace Larson’s Testimony
This testimony starts out when I was a young child born from my mother. I was born into a Christian home. The Christian faith was brought up into my life ever since I was born but I never made faith my own until I was most likely either 8th grade or a freshman in high school. I started going to pre-school when I was six, and did not learn very much at all. So I was held back from going on to kindergarten and was tutored by the Presbyterian preacher’s wife for that next year so I could be ready to kindergarten.
I went to a small country school until my 6th grade year when they closed the little school down. After that, I moved to the school where my mom was teaching the 2nd grade. I went to this school for two …show more content…
Most of the time when I would try to be around the kids in my class, most of them would start making fun of me, telling me to leave while saying some inappropriate things that don’t need to be said.

This was definitely a blessing in my life because they really helped keep me from totally becoming a worthless person even though I still was in plenty of ways.
Looking back, when I moved to this school, my faith was definitely not a real thing in my life. Sure if you asked me if I was a Christian I would have said yes, but I did not rely on God for really anything. On the outside I was a Christian, but not deep down on the inside. Deep down I was a miserable human being and I dreaded most every minute of it. I felt like I had to become like my peers in order to fit in. So unfortunately I ended up acting like they did, but this got me nowhere. In fact it got me sent to the principal’s office more times than …show more content…
So for my freshman year I attended the school I wanted to go to in the first place. This was a blessing in my life because it would mean that I could be reunited with some of the people I grew up with. The summer after my eighth grade, God really got ahold of my life. I realized that I needed to change. No a switch did not flip in my life; I still struggled with not being annoying towards other people. There were still people in this new school that I did not get along with; but this time it was different, this time I had a group of people I could count on to be there for
