Welcome to another episode of Life in the Son. I'm your host, C. K. Williams and today I am sharing part 2 of my testimony.



Corona Virus Caution



Hello, everybody. I'm glad you could join us again. I'm really kind of excited about getting this episode going because now is the time to tell you part two of my testimony. But, first, I'm sure that everybody is thoroughly aware by now of the Corona Virus. So, I just want to say, I'm not gonna talk about it, but I do wanna say please, be careful. Keep an eye on yourself; keep an eye on your neighbors, and most importantly, pray for each other; pray for this country; and pray for the health of everyone who has to come in contact with this virus. And with that, I think we will go ahead and get started.



My Testimony Part 2 My Hard Road:



I think when I left you in part one of my testimony, I left you knowing that I was pretty much on a hard road. I say a hard road now that I am twenty years into my Christian walk because I can honestly look back and say, most of that hard road was paved with the decisions I made. Don't get me wrong, up to that point, I probably did blame everybody I knew and probably even invented a few people to blame my problems on. I did have quite a few problems but, again, my problems were compounded by decisions I made. Yes, many of those were made as a result of other things that were affecting me early on in life.



My Testimony Part 2 - Two Basic Tips



Fortunately, before I got saved, I met a gentleman in Austin, TX when I moved one of my bands down there and who told me one day, "I want to give you two tips, very basic tips about life. If you just remember these two things, you will go a long way."



Now, I'm thinking, "Great! What are they?"



"Number one: Don't let the little stuff bother you."



I said, "Okay. that one's easy. What's the other one?"



He said, "It's all little stuff."



I didn't really like that too much cause at the time, I didn't think it was all little stuff. I didn't realize what was going on in my life. A bunch of really small problems that had never been faced; had never been dealt with and so all these little problems were now one big problem. And this one big problem really looked too big for me to tackle. It looked like it was just more than I could handle. It's kind of a shame because I piled it up on myself pretty deep. You would think if you piled it up on yourself you could get out from under it. I assure you that is not the case.



My Testimony Part 2 - The Weight Lifted



After I climbed up off of that floor at the front of the church by the altar, that night I didn't want to leave the church. It was weird. I'm noticing this about myself that at first when I was standing up, I felt lighter than I had ever felt my entire life, and believe me, I have never been a big guy. In fact, when I went into the Navy, I was five foot ten and a half and I weighed all of one hundred and sixteen pounds. If you know anything about enlistment into the military, you know I was right on the edge of being too light.



So, when I climbed to my feet, and I say I felt lighter than I have in my whole life, I felt like I was pumped up with helium. I felt like I was literally gonna hit my head on the ceiling. I know, laugh if you want to. It is kind of funny looking back but, that's exactly how I felt. When I went into the church, I was heavily burdened. I mean weighed down with all my problems, especially the ones I had never dealt with. There was the weight of all the people I was angry with, including myself. Oh yeah, and did I happen to mention that I was reaching dangerous levels of intoxication? All that was gone by the time I stood up to my feet. That was the first thing I noticed and it was an incredible feeling.



For the first time in my life, I think finally felt good. I don't mean to say that all my problems went away right then but, everything in me was at peace. I had never felt that before and I'm not even s...
