In 7th grade, I was scared
of the uncertainty of my future after I died.
This notion alone made me want to become a
Christian but I was not aware of all the intricacies of being a Christian. Because of this fear I decided to go to
church.
In high school I stopped going to church. Going through school, I felt out of
place and lost. My direction in life was unknown and it shifted all the
time. One day going to school I got into
a car accident. The car was crushed but I was not injured. At that moment, I felt that God had preserved
my life. I felt lucky but I felt blessed
even more. Since that time, I think God
has given me a second chance at life. I
realized that, even with all my flaws, God still chose me worthy to sacrifice
his son on the cross for me.
Before, I was always looking ahead to
something greater further down the road.
This led to disappointment or temporary joy. As Christians, God gives us gives us
direction now and promises us a secure future later.
The changes in my life were gradual. I became more patient
and my way of thinking was more mature. I thought of my needs less and other's
more.
