Before Jesus Changed My Life
My dad was a pastor, so I heard the Bible being read every week. We even went to church when we were on vacation.
How Jesus Changed My Life
When I was somewhere around 12-years-old, I was at summer Bible camp and someone used a very long cable to explain my life was like a pinpoint in time on the cable and the rest of the cable was eternity. I knew then I needed to accept Christ as my Savior. During my freshman year of high school, we moved and I began drifting away from my faith.
As an adult, I was full of pride and trying to please myself. I struggled through two marriages, with both ending in divorce. Through all this darkness, I still attended church and in 2009, God used me to help guide that church body through a very difficult, divisive situation. This relit my desire to get closer to Him, as looking at church organizations, I questioned if the true word of God was being preached.
My Life After Jesus Saved Me
Christ revealed He needed to be the focus of my life. I began to dig into my Bible, study it, and live it. He has given me peace in my heart that I am His, and I now have a strong desire to serve Him by serving others in my church body and community.
