Everyday of our life is an important day. We have good, bad, crazy and even some days that we don’t think we can make it through. Ecclesiastes 7:14 says “when times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider this: God has made the one as well as the other.” The most important day of my life is the day I gave my life to Christ.
I grew up in a super small town where everyone you know goes to a church in town. 90% of the people are Baptist. Every Sunday and every Wednesday, my family and I were sitting on that third pew from the front, in a little white church just outside of town. There is no doubt that I couldn’t explain every inch of that building to you. It was home, and the people there were family.
It was the summer of my fifth grade year, I went to Mtn. Zion Baptist Church camp. Church camp days were always the best days of my life. You met so many people that are just as excited to learn about the lord as you are. After bible study one night, during recreational time, I went upstairs to find my mom. My mom was my counselor at church camp, because we aren’t good at being separated. I went upstairs to have her help me give my life to Christ.
Little did I know at the time that I don’t need help to give my life Christ. I later got Baptized. Not long after that, I kinda lost my faith. I still believed, but I wasn’t living my life for him like I should’ve. Recently, I have regained my faith in the lord.
My childhood best friend was recently killed in a car accident. It was such a tragedy for my community. Emmalei and I met in that little white church outside of town that I mentioned earlier. I looked up to her, I wanted to be more like her in anyway I could. The passing of her really hit me like a truck. The night after the tragic accident happened, I went to lock the tanning bed at the boutique. I sat in my car listening to music, just trying to think it through. The song “Come as You Are” by Crowder came on the radio. I have never felt anything like this before, it was the best feeling I’ve ever felt. It was the holy spirit, no doubt. Since that night, I have been living my life for the lord.
The day I rededicated my life to Christ was the most important day of my life. Psalms 121:1 and 2 says “ I lift my eyes to the mountains- where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.” I live by this scripture, and I will praise him in this storm.
