This is my very first blog, and I hope it will be a blessing in your life. I will start off by sharing my story with you on how I became a Christian to becoming a Christ-follower. I was around nine years old when my mom was standing in our utility room, and I told her that I wanted to speak in tongues. I had always loved hearing her speak it, and I wanted to be able to speak it. I wanted what she had. I didn’t understand the power behind what she was saying, but I knew whatever she was saying, it was powerful. She told me to sit on the carpet, and she would lay hands on me and pray that the Holy Spirit would come into my life and save me. After that prayer, I was united with Christ. I had felt the Holy Spirit enter my body, and I received word of tongues. I was forever changed. I knew God loved me, and I also knew that Jesus saved me. I knew I was going to Heaven, but it wasn’t until 2009 when I became a Christ-follower.
I was never the popular one in school, nor was I a favorite. I made good grades, and I managed. I had friends, and I wasn’t too weird. I definitely had good and bad days in school, but that was everybody. School was school, and it was rough. It was part of growing up. I knew that my family loved me and that was all that mattered.
In 2007, my grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins betrayed me. They told me that they hated me, and I wasn’t welcome in the family anymore. I was incredibly close to them, and I thought that they were my rock. It was like they all died, and I was supposed to get over it. Until this day, the situation isn’t any better. I rarely see them, and if I do, they continue to hurt me. It took many months to finally realize that God wanted to be the rock in my life instead of them. However, that is an incredibly long story to even mess with, and I would rather not go there because I work daily on forgiveness.
In April 2009, I found Experience Life, which is currently my church home. My Holy Spirit was dormant for almost 10 years, and I awakened it. I couldn’t get enough God if I had tried. I had found a love greater than love itself. I finally understood why I needed Jesus. I understood why I needed a relationship from a higher power. God revealed himself to me. I realized that goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. I realized that I shouldn’t conform to this world, but let God transform me. My life was no longer mine, but my life was now His. I am to glorify him in every way of every day. I wanted God to use me to glorify his kingdom.
That is a brief summary of how I committed my life to Christ. Now, I want to use this blog to share what God has revealed to me, and hopefully I can be a blessing to you.
