My Story...

I started off as a "good" kid. And then I was sent to Elementary... Almost immediately I was picked as the "loser" of the group. I wasn't accepted by anyone...except one guy. His name was Charles and he was one grade ahead of me. He shared one thing in common with me: He loved Zelda! He showed how to get past the second level on the gameboy zelda! (The really old black and white one.) Anyways, me and him became good friends. But as soon as I started Middle School he had to move. I was now starting over in a new school and I had no friends yet again. This time I met Fieva. He was a foriegn exchange student and a great friend. My eighth grade year, I walked into school one day and all the overcomms kept talking about someone that had died...turns out it was Fieva! He had a freak accident and I had to go to his funeral. Time passed and I got into video games along with the Programing class and Game Club! My Junior year...it happened again! This time, two of my friends died in a car wreck! I had to go to two funerals that week! Now as you can probably imagine, I was depressed! I sometimes wished I could just go into my video game and live there...

That summer, our youth group went to Falls Creek, a summer camp, where I heard about Jesus. I was told that Jesus was everything that I needed; I was told that Jesus could forgive me for everything I had ever done, and I was also told that Jesus would accept me just the way I was! I wanted acceptance! I wanted love! Turns out...I wanted Jesus! I gave my life to Jesus that summer there in that camp and since then I have become a new person! A person with confidence and courage!

The next year at school, my new found faith was tested with fire. My best friend of four years commited suicide that year! And though I deeply mourned his death, something was different this time. I had joy...and peace. In the midst of my pain, I was overcome with peace! I knew it was God that was comforting me and I cannot help but live my life for Jesus because of all that He has done for me and brought me through! If it weren't for Jesus, I would be dead; existing maybe, but dead inside! I love Jesus Christ!

And now I have a question for whoever is reading this: Do you know without any doubts that you would go to heaven if you died today? Would you like to? If you would like to know how you can know for sure that you would go to heaven, then please send me a message or leave me a comment.
