I grew up in a house where my parents went to church ocassionally but when we did we went to the United Methodist church. I mostly went to church while visiting my grandmother.
I moved to Washington state and became friends with Kim and her family has a strong faith in God. I'd spend the night and we'd go to church on Sunday (Christian Reformed Church). I graduated from high school and continued going to the same church as my best friend. I enjoyed the fellowship.
My great aunt was very sick and I hated hearing about her suffering. One Sunday morning I remember getting a phone call that she wasn't doing well and headed off to church. I prayed that God would take care of my Aunt and not let her suffer anymore and began crying. I found out after the service that she passed on while I was at church. This is a huge sign that the Lord hears our prayers.
I continued going to church, purchased a bible and started talked to the pastor about where I should start my walk with Jesus. He suggested the book of Acts. After a few months I met with the pastor and told him I was ready to give my "Profession to Faith." I stood in front of the church congregation and the pastor and professed to knowing the Lord as my savior. That was when I was 19 years old.
