Well, where to start... my dad grew up in a Christian home, my mom didn't, when my parents met my dad wasn't in the right place in his walk with God, so when I was really young we didn't go to church I didn't really know much about Jesus except that He was there.
When I was about 9 my parents were struggling in their marriage and turned to God, I started doing the little girls devotions at night with my dad and then one night when we were reading my devotional it hit me that I needed to except that I was a sinner and needed Christ in my life, I prayed every night thanked God for things, asked for things, but I never really had that close bond with Jesus Christ... my family then started going to church, and I got baptized but still I didnt have that bond... we then moved to Colorado where we went to a church for about a year or so and we ended up leaving that church... then we found another church, I actually started enjoying church service I thought it was great! I started seeing Christ as everything He was not just the man who died on that cross, but as the God that is still living today!
After that, being an "Air Force brat" we moved again to Texas where we went to a church for about a year but that church wasn't where it needed to be and we ended up having to leave that church, ever since then we have been going to churches on and off... and still haven't found a church home.
Even though I had seen God a lot clearer 3 years ago it still wasn't until about 2 years ago (a short time after leaving the church that we were with) that I finally had that close bond with Christ Jesus and let me tell you it is amazing how Christ works through people even when THEY don't even know it!
I found that close bond with Christ because I hung out around here, and I listened to some of the LC here and some clan members talk, and there seemed to be something special about them, they knew Jesus in a different way and I could just see Christ working through them and found that God gives us all a chance... a chance to be close and intimate with Him and when we allow God in our lives...WOW! He can use us for so many things!
Before it seemed like every time I did something good it was me, but it's not, it's God! When I had finally realized that, I knew that I was finally God's to use! Ever since then I have been looking for ways that God can use me in my life (or should I say God's life
I am trying to just be the person that God wants me to be to reach the world and to preach the Word to all people!
Like everyone I fall sometimes... so, if you are reading this could you please pray for me, that God will continue to show me His way for my life? (or should I say God's life It would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks so much for reading, I hope and pray that in reading this you will seek God's will for your life (or should I say God's life
)and pursue it!
May God Bless you!
