My story begins as a child who attended church and listened and one day got the message that God died for me and loved me. For some reason this was important to me, but I did not understand it much until a Sunday School teacher made it clear.
My teacher, Bill B. Brown, taught us that we need to accept Christ as our Savior and that if we didn’t we would not go to heaven. He did not try to scare us but lovingly taught us. Through his teaching and my conviction that I needed Christ, I accepted Jesus when I was 11 or 12 years old. But this was just the start of the journey.
As I got older I knew I was not doing what God wanted me to do. After I graduated from high school I drifted away from God and fell out of fellowship with Him. I was not happy and knew I needed God, but the world was very enticing. A friend of mine invited me to a small church, and I actually went. Through His fellowship and God’s grace I have found peace and happiness ever since.
