January 12th was the most important day of my life. I had been living my life in the wrong way, I sinned often and worshipped rarely. I was too stupid to understand that the road I was on was the road to hell, and I needed to change my ways. January 12th was the day that I put myself on the right path, the path to Heaven.
My family used to be big on church. Every Sunday morning, you could find me and my family at church. Eventually, this passion died off. We still believed in God, but we did not worship often. We said grace before every meal, but you couldn’t see Jesus in our lives. We wore cross necklaces, but did not thank God for all of our blessing each day.
One day, it hit me. It had been a couple years since I had been to church. I was sitting in my bedroom. All the sudden, I decided to listen to Chris Tomlin. Before I was done with the first song, I was in tears. God was within me. That night, in my bedroom, I asked God to be my Lord and Savior. I went and told mom about what happened, and she burst in tears as soon as she heard. I asked to go to Church Sunday, of course she said yes.
That following Sunday at Church, during the first song, it hit me again. I rushed to the altar. The preacher came to me, and he told me the prayer to say. That day, I was officially saved. After the service, we worked out a date, and that following Wednesday I was baptized.
Getting saved changed my life greatly. Now I am able to walk with my head high, knowing I have a better purpose of life, which is to live for God. I now am not scared of death, because I have eternal life in Heaven.
