The Lord blessed me by putting me into a Christian home with a strong Christian heritage. Though church was mandatory Sunday morning, Sunday night, and Wednesday night, I loved going to church and hearing stories from the Bible. Church was always exciting to me and I couldn't wait to spend time with my family and friends. It wasn't until I was eight years old that I truly realized the importance of church. I wasn't there to spend time with friends, sing songs, and hear Bible stories--the church is a gathering of believers, coming to worship the Christ who saved them.
In November of 1996, I went to mother, deeply troubled that I was going to hell if I died. Wisely, my mother changed the topic to see how important salvation was to me. I forgot for a while, but came back to her later. She encouraged me to think about it, and, if I truly wanted to be saved to come to her again. I thought about it for a month. Finally, one week after my eighth birthday on December 17, 1996, I went to my mother and she led me to the Lord. On that day, I became a true princess in God's kingdom.
I don't always do what I know to be right, but I do want the Lord to have complete control over every area in my life. I've surrendered the throne of my life to Him. He is the saviour of my soul and I owe Him everything. My goal is to live a life that points others to Him and I am willing to do whatever he asks of me.
saviour? Do realize we type in American English around here? lol jk jk This is really great though. I like how you said you were a princess now. I've never thought of the Kingdom in those terms.
