New Life…11-05-03

Blogging…Daniel talked me into this…. a good way to just get my thoughts….I don’t think have much to say or anything real profound but here it is.

11-05-03

They day I sat in Russell’s office and realized that Jesus was my Savior. When I realized that what He did on the cross was for me…my friends…my family…I sat in classes today while people were giving presentations thinking…on this day, at this hour at this minute 4 years ago…I didn’t know Christ like I do now. Even as I’m typing this I was in high school probably at lunch having no idea what to except in life. Without this day 4 years ago…I don’t think I would have the relationships I do now. (i’m sure you can say that about any day but bare with me.) From friendships, to family conversations, to even girlfriends. It could have been a totally different situation if I didn’t answer that phone call from Russel or not come in and talk to him that night, made a lame excuses about something and not shown up to church.

But looking back on it some more…. When I said the prayer and repeated the words..I didn’t run out to tell all of my friends what I did…I didn’t feel this huge change…I walked out…and went about my business… If I could go back I don’t know if I would do anything different….It didn’t feel right….I hear stories of salvation, about parents leading their kids to Christ or hugging and crying with their children after they found out. But for me i’m sure my parents wouldn’t have understood what the heck I was talking about…..I’m not saying how awful my day of Salvation is..lol if you get that from reading this I’m sorry. I just think its so interesting that God has plans for us all and they are all different… I know my story is unique and I like it.

Well…those are just some things I have been thinking about this morning… but without that beautiful day 4 years ago today…I dont think I would have any of this….
