One of the things I love about Tim
Hawkins is his ability to make his audience roar with laughter, yet still
convey a good message. True, I don’t care for the feminine interpretations or
crass remarks, but Tim frequently manages to leave me not just with aching
sides, but with a serious truth to mull over. One such truth is found in his
monologue about testimonies. Tim takes the microphone in his hands, lowers and
shakes his head, and sighs,
“I was never into drugs, I didn’t abort a baby or give it up for adoption,
and I haven’t committed adultery or gotten a divorce. I’m not even married yet!
So why put my simple story in?”
Think about it. He has protected and cared for me my entire life. I was
born into a Christian home, to Christian parents. My dad is even a pastor! For
as long as I can remember, my parents have poured the word of God into me. They
homeschooled me, saving me from the heavy peer-pressure and exposure to sin I
was not prepared to face.
Not only did God protect me as a child, but he has continued to do so
throughout my teen years. Think about it again. I am eighteen years old. I have
never used drugs, never smoked, never had one sip of alcohol, and have never
had sex. I’ve never even been kissed or had a boyfriend! And not because no one
would have me, but because of God’s grace.

4 Words of Grace:
This is so true! Funny story, last Sunday was baptisims at my church and I was talking to my friend about this EXACT topic, how when I get baptized I want my testimony to be really heartfelt and make everyone cry, (because I cry for all of them no matter what the testimony :P) but I dont think I would have a very interesting testimony myself. Good for you, you should be proud of yourself for allowing God's grace to guide you away from sin! :) Have a great Thursday!
Thank you for this post! I have felt this so many times. My testimony is a lot like yours - my father is a pastor, I have always known about the gospel, and I was saved at a young age. Thanks for reminding me that it isn't a "boring" testimony at all.
Blessings,
Emily.
