I have always went to church. Not that my family were great christians. I never remember anyone ever saying a prayer in my home. My mom just said that her kids were going to grow up in church. I grew up in a small southern baptist church. I went every sunday up until I hit my teenage years. After that I stopped going much, unless the church was having something fun. I always felt that something was missing in my life but I just didnt have time to figure out what it was. In my 20's my mom decided it was time for her to go back to church. Like my mom I also sent my daughter to church every sunday. She rode the bus just like I had when I was little. Well we decided to go to church and eventually I was baptisted and joined this church. I still felt like something was missing. I loved the service as long as I was there. I just didnt feel like I really belonged. I only went on sunday mornings and when something special was happening. I also still was missing something vital in my life.
My husband had started back to church and my daughter decided she liked it much better then ours. She started going with her father and they went whenever the doors were open. I was still going to church with my mother every sunday morning. I finally started going to church with my family the rest of the time. I really felt like I had come home. I finally told my mom that I was going to start going to the other church all the time. I could tell that something big was happening in my life but I fought it for along time. I just couldnt believe that I had been so wrong for such a long time. Like going to church every sunday really made you a christian. This past sunday I just could not ignore the call anymore. I knew that I was a believer in Jesus Christ and that I wanted to live for him for the rest of my life. I gave my life to the Lord and my many burdens just melted away. I have never known such a peaceful time in my life. Everything is just the same but everything is so different. With Jesus with me I am a new person and life never looked so good.
