I am able to have a personal relationship with God. Through reading The Word I learn about God's character and His heart. I am able to live my life in a way that is pleases God, and one I enjoy. Its a life full of joy, and peace. When I'm down or upset I know that God's there with me. I know that if I were to die, I would be spending an eternity with my Heavenly Father.
It is a big difference being a christian. Through tough situations I am able to see hope. God has given me His wisdom and knowledge and I don't have to go through, or fall, in the same traps that the enemy would place in other people's lives.
Many aspects in my life had to change when I camee to know Jesus. My attitide, my standards, my priorities, my relationship with my sisters, and many other things.
I used to be a very shy person who was filled with great ideas. Now, that my life was turned over to Christ, I felt that I needed to be the one leading people because I was living my life under the GREATEST leader that has ever walked the Earth. Everyone who knew me thought it would be the last thing I would do. Boy did were they wrong. I considered it a miricle but God helped me overcome the fear in my life. I ran for student body president, and won because of his grace and love for me.
I experience this great victory my eighth grade year of middle school.
It was something that I could never take credit for.
