My life story and when Jesus saved the day.

My life story is not that complicated and has been a journey for the most part from the day I got saved to now. I grew up in the Church and my parents are pastors, so I have been in a lot of services through the years and a couple different Churches. Ever since I was young I have vivid memories of Sunday night worship and altar calls. The Holy Spirit definitely introduced himself to me at a young age. Feeling his anointing and presence is some of my early memories. God at starting convicting me when I was 9 and 12 years old to follow him and really make him my savior. I started reading my Bible and from all the Sunday school classes his word is deep in my heart. During my middle school experience I slipped away from following Jesus and wanted to be part of the crowd and be noticed. Drinking was not an issue only once. Also most of the people I hung out with would keep me away from smoking and stuff they did. That was God keeping me clean of that type of a party lifestyle. At the age of 14 life seemed dead and I knew Jesus had to set me free. During the summer I felt like a war was happening inside of me. One Sunday in July would be the turning point that changed my life and only Jesus could only be that turning point. We had a guest speaker, not that it made a difference if I was going to get saved, so as the morning was taking place the wild emotions that I felt like I could not control was taken away. I needed repentance and no sooner as the speaker gave the altar call I flew up as fast as I could. With many tears and my youth pastor behind me God set me free. A release in my spirit took place and peace entered. The rest of the day I spent quiet and pondering what took place. Later that in the month God asked me if I would surrender all of me. I gave my life to God and he set me free, but he wanted me to give my whole life to his service. I said yes to him and never looked back. From that time on my walk with God has increased. Flourishing would be the better term. I love God with all my heart, soul, mind , and strength. Nothing could stop me in my pursuit of giving him my all. Such a peace I have found. He is always there. I love God!
