I grew up in  loving yet not a Christian home. God wasn’t ever really spoken about in my family. I attended a Bible School when I was young for a few days and went to church on a very rare occasion,usually once or twice every two years, if even that. I would say I grew up with a lot of Christian morals, bud I did it because my mom and dad thought it was right or wrong. There wasn’t any glory given to God.

I listened to Christian music, at the bachelorette my art teacher sang my favorite Christian song. Adam (my boyfriend) got me to start praying and I started to be more thankful for God’s words. I started college and my roommate Jess Neaton got me into the Bible studies. I started learning and wanting to know more. I began to look forward to Bible Studies. I realized I was a sinner and quickly accepted that I was going to Hell. I didn’t want to accept Christ because I wasn’t sure if it was the right thing to do and I didn’t want to believe in someone I didn’t know. I heard testimonies and how all of a sudden something clicked and I was afraid the “click” wouldn’t happen and I didn’t want to live and lie and say it happened when I just did it because everyone else was. Not having the okay from my family made this part difficult.

On October 5. 2005 it was Living Waters first church service and I was really excited about seeing this new church and bringing Adam with me. We were lated and God willing they hadn’t started yet. Josh preached on John 7:37-39 and the word says ” If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink” I t was true I was thirsty and wanted to learn more and I also had started to come to church. I knew I was a  sinner, I knew God died on the cross for me, and now I just had to admit it and drink. Adam and I sat down with Greg and Josh after the service and accepted Christ as our Savior during a prayer. I had a reassurance with Adam by my side showing me that this was the right path for the both of us. It was just so cool!

Since then I have been eager to learn more about God, I’m more interested in Bible studies and have many questions, I had my firste talk with my parents about God and church and I’ve been seeking the Bible for others and their salvation.
