How I became a christian...how it could help you!

My family has been through a lot. For starters, I was born out of wedlock. That made my mother look real bad. I guess everybody thought she was real low. Some people wanted her to get an abortion. Thank our heavenly father she didn't! After my brother Kenneth came along we moved to Skidway Lake Michigan. Then My brother Wesley was born. I didn't like school. I was chubby and not very good at schoolwork. Therefore, I was not popular. I was very much the opposite. I turned to hatred instead of love when I got in trouble or people made me mad. I had NO friends. Then, by some miracle, we moved to Mississippi. At first I hated it. Then I opened up and made lots of friends. Our school had a bible club and invited everybody to an after school party. About two hundred kids showed up. I had always thought myself to be a Christian, but somehow the message took me by suprise. Sure, I went to church and stuff, but this was something different. There was someone inside of me hurting and crying and I wanted to that person free. That day I walked out in front of two hundred kids and took Jesus Christ to be my lord and saviour. After that We moved to another nearby town. I made even more friends. I was in marching band and chorus class. I had fun! I even got to go on a trip with our NEW church to Jackson for the youth festival! I had the best time of my life. But then I backslid. I didn't have time for church anymore. I was too busy. Our whole family seemed to be too busy. All of a sudden we are moving and selling our beautiful home we had just bought. From then on I knew the problem. When you don't have time to go to church or pray you need to make some time! The lord ALWAYS seemed to have time for me, but I never had time for him. Devoting your life isn't hard, but you can backslide. Nobody's perfect. But you have to try. So I got down on my knees and begged God to forgive me for my stupidity. I believe he forgave me because I could insantly FEEL it. So, dry your tears and kneal and ask God to forgive you, because he ALWAYS listens. And, as it is written, "Ask and Ye shall receive" and "For you, Lord, have nor forsaken those who seek you".
