I dont remember much of how my life was before Christ because I was saved when I was six, but I do know how it is when you don’t spend time with Him and you stray away fom Him. I know that after I was saved my life was no different because I didn’t know what I was doing. I didn’t understand that you only had to be saved once. Even though people told me that, I still didnt think that was enough.

I accepted Christ when I was at a Twin Living Trees performance. For some reason, though, I didnt tell anyone that I had become saved. I guess I was too shy or didn’t even think about telling others. I didn’t really act like I was saved until I was about 12. When I got into the Junior High ministry I really started spending time with the Lord, and I wanted to get baptized. My brother and I both wanted to get baptized, but my mom thought I wasnt saved because I had never told anyone about my decision at the performance. I just assumed everybody knew. So I was 12 when I got baptized. I guess it was kind of a rededication.

Since I’ve been rededicated I try to do a daily devotional, which really helps me because the more time I spend with God and the more I trust Him, the better it makes me feel. It just seems like sometimes if you go a week with out talking to Him bad things just start to happen. Getting saved was definetly the best thing that ever happened to me.
