Hi all,
I would first and foremost like to say it is truly a blessing to find this forum. This past Saturday I asked Jesus to come into my life and change me. I've always believed and have tried to give my life to him, but I guess you could say I fell off the wagon a few times. Lately I've just been observing the things going on in the world we live in, and really evaluated where I want to spend my eternity.
Tomorrow is not guaranteed, and I don't want to turned away at Heavens gates. Last year was one of the hardest years of my life, (I'm 20 by the way) In 2006 I met a man, who I thought was my "future husband", we started a relationship, we started having sex and basically not living the way God intended us to. March 2007, I ended up getting pregnant, and suddenly I found myself alone. My "future husband" left me for another woman, and left me to carry our unborn son. It was a very hard time, I was stressed out, not eating or sleeping. It was the grace of God that carried me through. He placed people in my life, especially my mother, who helped me tremendously. After I had my son Dec, I started feeling more compelled to talk with God and ask him to help me come back to him. I have a son now and I want to raise him right, I feel God gave me him for a reason. Coincidentally I named him Christian.
The last few days my heart has just felt so heavy and Saturday night I started praying and I asked for forgiveness and for him to set me free from the life of sin I've been living. He has saved me, and I feel so good. I really want to do this right this time, and I never been more serious about staying focused on my walk with HIM. I know that I'm not going to change overnight and will really have to work, but he is working within me even as we speak, and I know when I fall, he'll be there to pick me up. He is in my heart right now, and he is rooting for me.
I want this year to be one of the best for me and my son. I want to help lead others to him, I want to be an example for someone else, who maybe has gone through something similar as me. Some days I felt so hopeless, like it was never going to get better. But I know now that once you believe in him and trust him, things will get better. I just wanted to share that with you all, and say thank you in advance for welcoming me into your community.
God Bless
