Jesus Saved Me!
It was just this summer i became a christian actually.
I was a freshman you know, doing the normal high school kid things. I started cussing, got into a really bad realtionship with my first boyfriend, my grades started slipping when I realized I was really un-happy with my life. I was struggling. I got to the point in my life where I felt like I had no reason to get up in the morning. I was losing all my friends, I could barely keep my grades at C's when I was normally an all A one or 2 B's student, my family hit an all time low money wise. I just felt like everything was falling apart.
Then I went to church one day over that summer and the pastor was preaching as usual. Normally, I thought about other things in church like "what can I do to get out of here!" but for some reason I felt like I needed to listen this day. Then the preacher spoke the words that practically saved my life. He said "If you wait God will bring you the great things through his timing." That was it. I knew right then and there that Jesus was the way through all my problems. I started crying when i got home from church that day. I went to my room just threw my hands up in the air screaming "I'm yours now God, do what you want with me!" over and over again with tears streaming down my face. But I felt so much better after all that. I felt peace in my heart for the first time in 15 years and I knew from that moment on that I needed to become a devoted christian.
Once I accepted Jesus as my personal Lord and Saviour I noticed a difference in everything in my life. Things were turning around, I stopped cussing, my grades were coming back up, all my friend choics had changed, my family was, well, still in the process, and the boys I were interested in were christians also. I was finally happy knowing that everything I do isn't for me anymore, it was all for Jesus!
Now i'm not saying my life has become a piece of cake now that i'm a christian because actually it's alot harder than it was before. But for some reason with all the troubles I face, with all the obstacles I come across, the temptations that strike me, I know that I will overcome them because i'm not alone anymore. I have Jesus by my side every hour of the day watching over me, guiding me in the right direction.
There's nothing more amazing then the feeling of Joy, which is what Jesus has brought me especially when you're only 16! I really believe that if you feel like your life is going down the drain that you should just give it to Jesus. He can handle it and he'll show you the way.
God Bless,
