I once thought that I knew it all, but in time I found I had so much more to learn. The good news is that I gained some understanding about what my faith really meant. It’s my hope that in reading more, you will see the hope that I have, and maybe want the same.
I was baptized when I was 9 years old, by my father, in a church where he pastored. It was a blessing having a father who was also in ministry, as I could ask him questions and get answers. Later, as I grew up, there weren’t many easy answers.
After being in college for almost four years and not getting anywhere, I became depressed. I felt like I had no purpose. In that one moment in crying out to God, then I learned what it meant to invite Jesus Christ into my life.
My new life in Him had trials, but there was also hope. I eventually graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Communication. I later married into a family at the start of my career. I continued on into different occupations to take care of family, and had some setbacks along the way, but God has been faithful in keeping us in the midst of all that we went through and go through now.
So how can I sum it all up? Before Christ, I was down without much hope for the future, much less the next day. After having invited Christ into my heart, I have the hope of heaven after this life ends, and I hope to see many others who made the same choice. If you have tried everything you could to handle life on your own, and found that you couldn’t, try letting Jesus Christ into your life, as He stands at the door of your heart knocking. Letting Him in will be the best decision you can make in your life.
