I grew up never thinking or talking about the existence of a God. We never went to church. I didn’t know the story of Jesus and I never cared to find out. Immediately all my ambition in life went to pleasing myself. My biggest idols were dating and partying. I was introduced to the church scene when I was a senior in high school. I started going to church with a boyfriend who claimed to be a Christian. As we dated for the next three years, we went to church every Sunday and partied all throughout the week. So this was my view of salvation; that going to church qualifies you to go to heaven. It wasn’t until my third year in college when I was presented with the true Gospel lined out in scripture according to my need. As God began showing me who He really is as Creator and Personal Father as well as my complete waywardness and path to destruction, He lead me to repentance and faith in the perfect work of His Son, Jesus Christ. It was in October 2005 that God gave me His Spirit and made me a new creation. My desire now is for my life to be lived for His glory.
