How I Found the Meaning of Life

I wasn’t just born and raised in a Christian family; I grew up as a pastor’s kid. I've been told that when I was about 4 years old, I gave my life to God, and, like most childern, I repeated my prayer over and over to make sure God heard me! I knew what I'd done was important because everyone else around me was a Christian (I went to a Christian school for the first 9 years of my life), but I didn't fully understand what that meant. When I was about 9, up at camp one summer, I remember the speaker talking about putting God in the driver’s seat of my life. That’s my first real memory of real commitment in my relationship with God, when I told Him I was giving Him control. When I was in grade 5, I was baptized at my church with my little sisters as a public commitment to God, but It wasn’t until a couple of years ago that I realized I was still living my parent’s faith. I decided it was time for me to start leaving my own footprints. A huge thing for me is taking every opportunity I can get to tell people about how much God loves them. I honestly can’t imagine living without God in my life, and that’s the reason I get up every morning – to tell others what He has done in my life. I realize that there’s still a lot for me to learn – I’ll never stop learning! I’m just so pumped to get to know my Dad better. My friendship with Him is the most important thing in my life and telling others about Him has become my reason to live!
