I was three years old when I came to know Christ as my personal Savior. It was a Sunday (Mother’s Day). That morning in church I learned about Saul, a man who persecuted Christains. I didn’t persecute anybody, but I knew I still sinned and messed up. I deserved death and hell but Jesus died for me and God raised Him from the dead so I could live eternally with Him. God sent a bright light and blinded Saul, and a voice told him to stop what he was doing. Even though I didn’t hear God’s audible voice I knew He wanted me to pay attention to Him. Paul was changed and became an apostle of Jesus Christ.I wanted to be changed too. That night I asked my mom if I could ask Jesus into my heart. So right there in my bed I prayed and asked Jesus into my heart.

As I grew older I also grew in my relationship with Christ. I started understanding the responsibilities of being a Christian, applying lessons to my life, and obeying his commands. I continue to grow in my walk with Christ. Every day He shows me another promise or teaches me another lesson. Every day He’s always there for me, preparing a path for me to walk in. I know He has a plan for my life and I trust that it is better than anything I could imagine. Now……

…When I read the bible it’s not just words going in one ear and out the other. I really try to get something from it realizing its God’s love letter to me.

…when there is a problem in my life I don’t try to solve it all by myself. I realize there is someone always with me helping me to get through anything.

… I don’t waste my time worrying about tomorrow. I’ve found a peace in Jesus Christ.

…I have realized all the things God has blessed me with and I try to give back to him by giving to other people.

…to me Jesus didn’t just die but he was beaten, bruised and horribly murdered just so I can live in eternity with him. I know His amazing, indescribable love and I try everyday to show that love and tell that story .

I strive to surender my life to him daily, be more like him, and stay in his will, but I mess up all the time and he always shows meundeserving grace and forgiveness.
