April 18, 2005 at the women's prayer group meeting of the church that has since been my home church. I accepted Christ after years of avoiding him. I was afraid to accept him as my Lord and Savior for fear of failing him. My entire adult life had consisted of making poor decisions that affected myself as well as those I loved. I was a complete disappointment. I was broken into a million pieces. I was afraid that once I accepted Christ I would fall short of his expectations of me and he would wash his hands on me. I convinced myself that I needed to understand EVERYTHING about the bible BEFORE I could accept Jesus Christ. The mother of a friend of mine, 5 minutes after I met her for the first time, said something that really cleared some things up. She asked me if I believed that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died for my sins, and if I could accept him as my Lord and Savior. I told her that I believed but I couldn't accept until I understood the bible. She then told me what my problem was. I was too intelligent. I thought I needed all the answers, but no one will ever have all the answers. I needed to quit thinking like me and start trusting God. It's been a pretty awesome year!

When I was a very young girl I thought I was a Christian, I always thought I was. As a young woman I was so wrong, drinking, marrying several times, hurting people until I faced the fact that I hadn't been right for a long time. I was a backslider in the worst way. In late 1999, I got back to reading my Bible, and going back to church, which brought me to the point where I wanted more. I wanted to know, REALLY know Jesus. I asked for insight, and wisdom . I read that to help you gain wisdom , read one book of Proverbs each day. I needed the Psalms to learn how how to praise, so I started reading 5 Psalms, and one chapter of Proverbs each day. I go in order, on the first day of the month I read Psalms 1 through 5 and chapter 1 of Proverbs. On the 2nd it's Psalms 6-10 and Proverbs 2. There are 31 chapters in Proverbs, and 150 Psalms. Each moth you begin again. I know this is a long answer, but I have grown so much, and have so much joy in my life, and peace in my heart, I want to share it. I feel like I'm finally home. I guess WHEN is all my life, WHERE is right in the middle of a very messy and hurtful life and WHY is because there is nothing to compare to a personal loving relationship with my Lord.

At no time and no where I shall become a follower of Christ. Then the question of why does not arise.

2001 in my room late at night. I decided to get on my knees and accept Him as my Lord and Savior because if I don't do it now I might not have a second chance.
