My Story...

Sunday, October 5th, 2008, I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. The service I attended was part of the "Life on Loan" series at Northview Christian Life Church. This series of sermons and lessons dealing with how we choose to spend our moments on this earth, single handily changed me for the better, in particular the service that morning. Countless individuals, couples and families publicly acknowledged that they were living sinful, hypocritical and unfaithful lifestyles until they accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. As the service progressed, I saw painful bits of my life and the reality of my earthly existence flash before my eyes and weigh on my heart. It was at that moment that the constant whispers I had been ignoring and pushing away to deal with later, became a true conversation with God. It was also my day to promise to be a better person, to serve others for a greater good, to forgive past wrongs and bring my faith to the forefront in my life. I realize that my life on earth is a gift from God. He has bestowed me with the talents and the means to do good deeds, to help my fellow neighbor and to be a better Christian through His grace and glory.

This weekend I was baptized in front of my congregation, my family and my friends. I chose to be baptized as an outward expression and promise that my faith has become a priority in my life. Thank you to everyone who has help me celebrate this wonderful new beginning!
