"When my life Began"
Well, it's not that exciting, but it's very important to me. You see this is when my life really began. This is when my life started to have a purpose. That purpose is living for Jesus. Maybe i should start at the beginning....
I was raised in a Christian home. My family and I went to church every Sunday and they did it for all the right reasons too. I just never understood those reasons at first. When i was seven my mom sat me and my brothers down in our livingroom and asked us if we knew what it meant to be a Christian. We didn't. She explained that it wasn't just going to church or trying to be good, but that it's saying, "Here Jesus, I give to you my life." and then living for him. being good isn't what you are supposed to do to get to heaven, it's what you do out of love for your Savior. She asked us if we wanted to give our lives to Jesus. We all did. So, we prayed with her and asked Jesus to forgive us and come into our lives. I was never the same again. It's a good thing i decided to let Jesus have my life because 2 years later, my dad divorced my mom. I was heartbroken. Although I was extremely sad and hurt, it didn't destroy me or tear me up. WHY? Because Jesus was on my side. He helped me through it all and is still helping me. I don't know what i would have done without him. He comforted me and even brought me a new Dad some years later. Don't get me wrong my life's far from perfect and i still struggle with the same things other teen's my age struggle with, but what's different is that I have hope. I have one-on-one communication with God. What more do I need? So, to make a long story short Jesus has filled my life. All the holes that were there are filled, all the hurt and pain is gone, all the fear is erased and all the Joy is overflowing. Jesus is my life and i wouldn't have it any other way...
