Sharing miracles with non-believers is indeed a waste of time. There are good reasons for this. You could be lying, delusional, or, more likely, making too much of coincidence. People recover all the time from diseases, prayer or not. I remember once praying for sex and I got it: the experience worried me so I never did that again.
The problem with all testimonial evidence (which is all a lot of churches seem to rely on, considering the testimonials you constantly get -- which seems to be mostly lost sheep finding joy when they come back because of some sign they got) is that it useless. Anything to be evidential has to be repeatable by skeptical people.
Using personal experiences as a basis for personal faith is to constantly lie to oneself and delude oneself.
