What's My Story
He moves me
Anne Schruba
I am so much more mature with Christ in my life. There is the occasional extremely immature moment, but I am ok with letting him guide my actions. I used to make such stupid and unwise decisions, and without Jesus, I really don't know what could have happened to me.
Everything has changed since I became a Christian. I stopped being so selfish and started focusing on God. There are so many more people out there than I realize sometimes, and God is teaching me to reach out.
Two years ago, He moved me to Houston and gave me a great job with wonderful people.
I had been working really late on that Saturday night finishing up my thesis. I was up until 4am. My sister happened to be home for spring break and woke me up in time to go to church (I hadn't been planning on attending due to my late night). When I went, the pastor's message that day was "He who has ears to hear, let him listen and obey." The verse was Deuteronomy 5:29: "Oh, that their hearts would be inclined to fear me and keep all my commands always, so that it might go well with them and their children forever!" Anyway, the rest of the day was normal until I was about to get in the shower. I heard this voice in my head say "I want you to go to Houston." I almost started hyperventilating because I knew that had to be God. I would never have told myself to move to Houston, of all places, because (no offense) I never really liked it. So I went to go read my devotional book, and the title of the devotion was "What are you so afraid of?" and the verse was Deuteronomy 5:29. At that point, I knew God was telling me to move, and I knew I would follow Him wherever He wanted me to go.
