Moments:Testimonies and Epiphanies
Not quite a week ago, I was motivated to consider posting a Q&A session after having visited the Hope Road blog. Sounded like a great idea to perhaps drum up a little more interaction from some of the drive by readers… assuming that the majority of the 7500 + hits that the WP Dashboard has reported over the last month since being resurrected aren’t (spam) bots. Not to be confused with Fembots. I’ve been mulling over whether or not to go forward with this idea. After reading a post [see "cheesy" link 
] by newcomer and loyal visitor E. Barrett of R3, I’ve decided to go forward.
As the “About” section explains, Got-Fruit(?) is a journal if you will of what God is doing in this life of mine, despite my backsliding and rejection. That said I often post on those things occurring in my life that I see as moments where God is talking to my heart, trying to move me one step closer in the right direction, be it an attitude adjustment, Scriptural understanding, relational, or what have you. I’ve already hinted at how I came (returned) to Christ, so this isn’t a Q&A about me. What I would like to happen is for any and all visitors to share an experience, moment or circumstances that was pivotal in their relationship with Christ. Maybe it was a close associate that was instrumental or some key Scripture that just spoke to your heart Here’s the game plan, submit a comment relating to one of the following:
- Share the time or events that led to you accepting Jesus Christ as your personal Lord & Savior
- Share a received word or revelation concerning a spiritual struggle, life decision etc;
The Rules:
1. You do not talk about FIGHT CLUB!
B. Try to keep comments brief by providing a short blurb & a link if possible
C. Practice discretion (protect the names of the innocent)
D. Remain respectful of one another
Looking forward to hearing your stories & experiences.
Grace and peace be with you all.
I was recently battling with depression that was triggered by a major disappointment. The thought that I think God gave me to bring me out of it was the realization that came to me as I pondered the ongoing tragedy in Myanmar; “There are people in the world who have problems, serious problems, but you are not one of those people.”
I then considered the substantial blessings that God has poured upon me and decided to quit whining.

Perspective.
Mark, I’m happy for you that you have managed to work through your spiritually difficult time, thank you for sharing your story and the word/message received from it. I can relate; not having had to deal with depression, but rather having gotten a sense of someone else’s misfortunes in life and contrasting that to my life; things aint so bad after all.
Grace and peace be with you.
