what i wanted to put as an introduction to my testimony on my college app

I read the essay requirements for this application months ago. I noticed the requirement for my written testimony. I continued to put of writing it down, as my mind went through all the reasons that I had no desire to write my testimony. I had no desire for my story to be boiled down to simply another story on a piece of paper. And still as I write this I have no desire to write this. As I write my testimony it loses all personal connection. As the admissions department continues to read through a hundred testimonies every semester my fear is that this will simply become just another faceless story.

then what's the problem?

naw, i understand. but don't ever think that what you've gone through is being cheapened in any way. the moment that becomes a possibility, we've forgotten why we need God's grace.
