My Name is Tiffany Carroll. Im 15 years old. Im a Freshman in Highschool. I go to church at West City Church of God !!! Im a super duper proud holy ghost babtized, tongue talking, Devil killin, God chasing, holy rollin', pentecostal fanatic for the Lord !!! (laugh) !!  Just a little background on my life. I have always went to church. From when I was a little bitty girl. My daddy used to take me and I remember clearly I didnt like going ! As I grew older my daddy got out of church and I was made to stay in church. My momma and daddy got a divorce and I live with my mom. I got out of church when I was about 12. I know everyone wants to hear the happy story of a girl growing up with a great christian life. Well that aint how my story is but you can bet now I know my god and that he loves me and most importantly I love him ! Anyway this is my testimony. When I was around 12, I loved getting into trouble and being rebellious. I hung out in the wrong crowd and did thinks I knew I was not supposed to do ! I got into some trouble and im not going to lie I didnt like what I was doing but I did it to look cool ! Well I lived that live for about 2 1/2 years. I then told my mom I wanted to get out of the town we were living in and move and get a fresh start. May 25 I moved to Benton, Illinois. Mostly all my family lives here. Two very special people to me that live here are my Aunt Janet & Uncle Marty. They are one of the reasons Im where I am today !!! I graduated 8th grade on May 24th. It was hard saying bye to all the things I once knew. Anyway when I moved here to Benton, my aunt & uncle started inviting me to church and I loved West City Church of God since the first time I went. Most the times when they called asking if I wanted to go to church I blew them off !! I continued living my life the way I WANTED..... Well in June I changed my life, got back with God and continued my loving journey with him. As the months went on and on I loved the Lord more than I had ever in my life ! You know why ? Because it wasnt what anyone wanted me to do. Its what I wanted to do. I wanted to live my life with God ! I wanted to walk the streets of gold one day ! I wanted to hear the Lord tell me come into his gates. I didnt want him to turn me away and say "depart, for I knew you not !!!". God has blessed me in this last year !! I have been at West City Church of God for just about a year now and im not leaving. Im never giving up. Brother David East has said "just hold on, just hold on, HOLD ON" !!!!!!! In December I recieved the holy ghost ! You know I cant explain to you how great it felt. Its something you will have to experience yourself ! Im a living example to teens and everyone that its never to late ! I know one night I was up all night writing a song. I love music and I love to express myself through my music ! I've never loved anyone as much as I love my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ !!!! I praise him everyday and thank him. I read ( or try to ) my bible every single day ! Sometimes it's hard when you have school early, then helping my mother after school, then come home got homework, shower, then some free time( but I try ). I have searched all over the place and let me tell you what my name "TIFFANY" means......Tiffany means " Gods Appearance"....I feel so honored to have a wonderful name that means that..I never really liked my name....When I found out it meant God's Appearance, I have truely grown to love that....I feel like I was made to be with God. Im never leaving God !! I will always be is child !! Thanks for taking the time to read my testimony !!! Its not the whole story but you guys get the main picture .

Love & Christ

Tiffany Carroll

P.S. - Its not easy, nor will it ever be easy !!!! But I dont know about you but im staying in this fight , winning souls for Jesus, the Devil may bite at my heels and sometimes discourage me but when the annoiting of the Holy Spirit moves over me I stand up and the Devil is still under my feet !!! PRAISE GOD !!!!!!!!!! Hallelujah !!!

Whoop Glory
