The Most important day of my life was the day I gave my life to Christ. It has been a challenging road, and I know that i’ll serve God for the rest of my days. A day of importance doesn’t originate from just one person, yet, we all have different opinions upon it.

I remember it like it was yesterday. Two years ago at youth camp I fully committed my life to Christ. I was truly overwhelmed by all of my sins I practically fell to my knees in the anger I had for myself in committing them. At camp, we were all worshipping in song when the particular song came on called, “O Come to the Altar.” I heard the first few verses, I felt God tug upon my chest telling me it was my time!

I went to the altar, had a good talk with God, asking for forgiveness, relinquishing my life into his hands. My sister, Tevin grabbed me, and I was crying, I remember saying that simple phrase, “I know where I’m going.” It was very emotional, but it changed my life for the better. I’ve never been so happy as to how that moment made me feel right then. I learned later, though, it’s not easy being a Christian, especially when you stub your toe. I’ve face many trials, but I wouldn’t change it for the world. I am thankful for that night and the answers God gave me that night, this was truly the most important day of my life.

Although, I struggled, I overcame them with experiences with God. He has helped me through everything. Keep going, and never forget your most important day!
