Nine months ago, on September 9, 2004, I went to a Tent Meeting about an hour from my hometown... I will be honest, I didn't want to go... I just went to make my sister happy... It was the second night I went... I thought why not, I might as well make them happy... That night, Bro. Phil Kidd was preaching on 3 Things Worse Than Hell... I thought this man is a phsyco because nothing could be worse than hell... I knew I was lost, but I didn't want to admit it to myself or anyone else... I just always thought that if I would keep telling myself I was saved God would take me in... Well I found out that night I was wrong... All I did was shake and cry.. I didn't know what was wrong with me... I now know I was under conviction.. I had been for months, just never this strong.. God really wanted me to be saved that night... When the alter call came, I raised my hand for prayer... Bro. Kidd wouldn't stop saying please come, I knew he was talking to me... I was crying so much, I don't think I had ever cried that much.. I turned to my sister and asked her to go down there with me... I literally fell onto the alter... All I said was I'm Sorry... I said it once, and the Lord knew I meant it... I realized it was all because of me that the Lord had died, and that I was lost and on my way to hell... After I came up from the altar, a weight I never really knew was there, was now gone... That's when I realized that I was saved... The Lord saved me!! Praise God, He saved me!!! That night before the preaching a young man sung a song called "Do You Know How it Feels"... Now I know how it feels!! I know how it feels to be a child of the king.. I know how it feels to know I'm alright when I lay my head on my pillow each night.!! Thank God I know!!! My life has been so different since I have been saved... It has been a struggle at times, but I know God is at his closest at those times... He has been such a blessing to me... I have friends now I never could have imagined being friends with.. I have ETERNAL LIFE now...I thank God everyday for what He has done!! I did not deserve to be saved that night, all I deserve is hell.. I was the reason his son suffered, but he did it all because he loved me!!!!
