I grew up in a Christian home and attended church regularly. My parents taught me about God in many different ways, but as a young child I realized that while I knew a lot about God, I didn’t really know Him personally. I began asking more and more questions about salvation, Heaven, and Jesus.
I knew that God was speaking to me about becoming a Christian. After many conversations with my Mother, I knelt down in my bedroom and prayed for God’s forgiveness and surrendered my life to Him. I was very young - only 5 years old, but I knew that God had heard my prayer.
I am so thankful for my relationship with Christ. Though I still struggle with sin, I have the power of Christ in my life and He is changing me daily to become more like Himself. Even in tough circumstances I know that my life has purpose and meaning. Most of all, I now have a personal relationship with God - I know Him! Phillipians 2:1-16 is my prayer for my life “…holding fast to the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may have cause to glory because I did not run in vain or toil in vain.” (v.16)
