Faith, Devotion, and things like that...

This page is dedicated to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. It's been almost 3 years since I accepted Jesus as my Savior and I have been so blessed! My family has grown so much closer together now that Christ is the center of our lives. He's brought into my life the best Christian friends anyone could ask for, and opportunities to reach out to those who don't have a relationship with Him.

I became a Christian the summer going into my sophmore year in college. My freshman year I did the "typical" college stuff. I partied a lot and drank. I didn't even give God a second thought, He was the furthest thing from my mind. My thinking was that He didn't love me anyway, so why bother. I thought there would be plenty of time for God when I was old, I'd repent then, when all I had was time on my hands and nothing to do but go to church. I was so angry with God for a number of reasons, at times I even questioned whether He existed or not.

I truly didn't want a relationship with Him. I only went to church because I felt obligated to go, I mean my family went, it was better than staying home alone. People would bring up Christianity and religion, I turned my back on them, changed the subject quickly, or rolled my eyes. No way I was gonna talk or even listen to that stuff! That summer, though, there came a certain point in my life when I finally had to admit to myself that I couldn't go on the way I was living. I was barely hanging on by a thread. There was too much pain and anger on the inside. I couldn't cope with it, I don't think my family knew, mainly because I kept it hidden and I didn't want them to know. I have my brother to thank for showing me what a Christian is. Seeing the change that he made in his life when he accepted Christ, made me start thinking that there must be something behind it all. He was happy, joyful, and had done a complete turn around. That's something that I wanted more than anything. I gave my life to Christ on May 24, 1998. There aren't enough words to put on this page to express how awesome He is. I am so thankful for Him, for His grace, and His mercy. I'm so unworthy to recieve any of it, but He continues to be patient with me and love me, even when I mess up big time. The best thing is though, is that He is there for you too! All you have to do is ask and He will come into your heart and fill your life with peace and joy! You can be reborn into a new creation! Okay, so maybe you won't be reborn into a pea with a diaper, but I thought that the picture was cute.

Romans 10:9 says...

"If you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."

Campus Journal

Christian Campus House(CCH), on the campus of SMSU, has given me some of the most awesome opportunities to serve God and praise Him for all that He has done in my life. Through CCH I have been able to go on a mission trip to Mexico and teach VBS to some great kids. There's a link at the bottom so you can check the organization out. We meet every Sunday and Tuesday night at 8:00pm in the student union, Ballroom B.
