Macie’s Story
Hellooo!
i’m Macie Rosina i am 14 and i home school! and you about to read my very own Testimony!
Well it was simple and short right before i turned 12.. I told my sister i didn’t think i had a testimony and God said BAM NOW U DO!.
After that my life went down hill. I was put down made fun of and rejected. Everyone always be like “Oh Macie it will get better.” Nope it just kept getting worse.
Had been to about six other churches in our city and never fitt in. Had one friend and was there for about six years that’s how bad it was.
Nobody liked me for some reason.
i was the girl that they just watched come in and go out. I wished everyday somebody.. anybody would tell me they cared for me.
Tell me they loved me.. or just tell me they were thinking about me. Everyday i grew angry. At God, Myself and people. WHY DOESN’T ANYBODY WANT ME?! Is what i would say.
I hated the way i looked, talked and acted. So it made me wake up and think “What do i got to live for.?” ….. i was Molested and heart broken. Didn’t have no clue what Love was anymore.
I thought it was just for the lucky and beautiful
at that point to be Honest…. UNTIL. I came to City Church… at first i hated it. because of how everything was so different. (Grew up baptist)
i begged to stay with my friend Saturday nights just to not have to go! But… it started to grow on me little by little. And one Wednesday night Pastor Steve Burton was talking to me during worship
and said i had a fire in me and it was ready to come out. and so after that i decided i was sooo sick in tired of being sick in tired! And my life slowly but surely started to change. I became
less Angry and more Thankful.
I became Joyful and less Depressed. I could feel the chains being destroyed day by day. And nothing could slow me down! I finally had more than two friends.!
GOD LOVES TEENAGERS!

So glad for the Lord’s work in your life. Keep your spirit up; God has a special plan for you.
Wow…this was extremely encouraging. You do have quite a testimony!
He most definitely does! That was a wonderful testimony Macie. I’ve immediately subscribed!
I’m no longer a teenager now, but I can totally relate to your testimony. I just couldn’t “fit in” with anyone at my small school with less than 100 students in it K-12. The only way I could really be around others was to let myself be picked on, so at least in some way I could be involved with them. Eventually I started getting involved with an organization called Youth for Christ. I slowly started to know and understand who God really was, and the He was the only one friend that will never let you down. That simple message really spoke to me, and I gave my life to Christ when I was 15. I’m 21 now and though it’s been quite a journey, it always excites me to see how God’s hand has been in my life and things have turned around in a way that I’ve been able to make a lot more friends and share my passion with them.
I immediately subscribe too :)
What a testimony! Keep your spirit high and be blessed!
Praise the Lord for your testimony!!! Keep inspiring other people around you. Keep reaching out to them. This young generation is meant to be a light among other people. Keep showing people that God has a way out to embrace people who were hurt just like you. Remember you are the head and not the tail.
That was awesome! Way to go! If you have never heard it before look up the song “More beautiful you!” It is great and will let you understand that through God’s eye’s you are beautiful, I now have my girlfriend seeing that she is beautiful and worth a lot. God bless. Maybe you can read my blog about the word of God. yountsteve21.Wordpress.com. Check it out.
Great Testimony. Thank you for sharing.
Simple and profound!
Wow! and an awesome testimony it is… Great Post, keep it real for Jesus.
WOOO!! Thanks for sharing your life and your heart. It has encouraged me!
Thanks for sharing this! It can be so difficult being a teenager in our society – so many messages and expectations, but God’s grace is amazing. Keep relying on him. More trials and attacks of the enemy will come, but God will never leave your side. Keep building yourself up with His word and let his light shine in you! Greater is He who is in you than he that is in the world! Blessings to you. Also, remember, there are hypocrites in this world, but God is not one of them. Guard your heart against the poison of worldly reason and let the Holy Spirit be your teacher.
Yes, He does love us.
This is an amazing testimony Macie!! I’m so thankful that you know the saving grace of our Lord Jesus Christ!!!
Reading this brings back memories of my youth,
i honestly felt the same way as you and had all sorts of problems with bullies …
Its only been the last few years that i have been a believer and been baptized and its incredible how much difference it makes .. well done Macie .. God Bless
Macie, do you not think it is a bad sign that you found Christianity most convincing when you were at your most vulnerable?
I have heard so many stories similar to yours: at Christian Union meetings at university, from co-workers, from students. They all became serious Christians only after something traumatic happened to them. And then they tell the story as if this is a persuasive, appealing argument.
I understand why this sort of talk is persuasive – is sounds very comforting. But something that is comforting is not necessarily true. I hope you come to see this and I wish you well.
Hi James! This is Steve–I run the site. Thanks for stopping by and visiting with us. I am so proud of Macie and her story and thrilled that we know her story to be comforting AND true. The grace and mercy and unconditional love of God are absolutely true and that is a huge comfort to anyone who has had a revelation of such a marvelous second chance.
Stop by again soon!
