I figured that seeing as I have been on here for a few months now I should tell people my story. It's nothing amazing compared to others htough. Well here it is:
I grew up in a Christian family, I've always gone to church. Almost all of my realatives are Christians, and this has helped me a lot, to know that they are going through the same things at I am. My dad goes preaching alot and my mum is a full time mum, there is also my brother.
I can't exactly remember, but at the age of 4, 5 or 6, I was doing a Bible course, that my Gran was in charge of, I was filling in the current course and reading my bible (with help from mum) and realised, hang on, I'm not a Christian, there is something more I need to do. I knew what it was, so that night, as I lay in bed, I put my hands together, closed my eyes, and prayed. Prayed to God, said sorry for my sins and asked Jesus to come into my life, asked for my sins to be washed away. The next day I woke up, I didn't feel any different, I had overheard people in church talking about a mjor uplifting feeling. But none of that, but I still knew that now I could say that I was a Christian. As years went by I continued to attend church, and enjoyed it.
However, we moved to Wales, I was the only one my age in the church, and didn't have many friends, I didn't enjoy church as much as I used to.I spent most of my time just going to sunday school, and after a year or so, helping in creche. I managed, but I still often felt left out.
For the past few months I have attended both services, not out of habit, but out of want, and also attend YPF in the evenings. I realise that there are people in the church, who though not my age, will talk to me, and be my 'friend'. I began to enjoy going to church much more, and quickly realised that I had not been spending as much time as God as I should have done.
So that brings us up to date, I now pray and read daily, as opposed to where it used to be weekly. I enjoy going to church, and feel welcomed there. I help out in creche, and play my flute in service. But most importantly, my relationship with Christ has really grown.
