My Story

Hi. The best way for me to do this is in the form of a brief autobiography. Here goes.
I was born in 1992. Aside from a heart complication, I was a healthy child. I grew up healthy and strong under the care of my loving father and mother. However, when i had just turned four, my dad found out he had contracted terminal stage 3 pancreatic cancer. When I was 4 1/2, the whole family dynamic changed; now it was just my mother and I living alone. A few months after my father passed, my mother and I decided to try a nice little presbyterian church called LBPC! When we went there, we recieved genuine love from almost everyone there. Their source of love was this Jesus character that was part of what they called the Holy Trinity. Even though my understanding was limited, I made the lord Jesus my master and even prayed to him all the time. It was almost as if I had a large family at the church. For the next few years, I sang in the church choir with my friends, and was fairly active in the church for a kid. around the When I had turned 13, I decided I wanted little to do w/ God. I was convinced that if I had friends, sports and video games i'd b just fine. As confident as i was however, this was not the case. One of my best friends if not my best, after fighting brain cancer for four yrs, lost his long fought battle . I wasmad at God asking the question we all do: why? how come? As stone cold as my heart was, God reached out to me and showed me mercy. Within a month of my friend's death, my mom was involved in a very serious winter traffic accident. She could have very easily have died, but she didn't sustain a single scratch or bruise (legit miracle). One day at the beginning of summer when I was 16 1/2, Gods love overflowed from my mother to me. After All of her prayers, positive habits and bold love, I decided I wanted to, on that day, give my life to Christ. From that point on I wanted in, I began praying again, reading his word and stopping bad habbits.
