I am restarting my walk with God. Even thought I have continued to be a Christian I have in recent years been lead off path. This I see not as “Backsliding”, falling away, falling out of love, etc. I have just simply fallen out of touch with my first love, Christ. To give some background I was born in a Protestant home in Southeastern Pennsylvania. I was quite in highschool and no where close to popular. I was Baptized and “Confirmed” at St. Johns UCC church but I never really understood Christianity.
Luckily parents had choose my Uncle to be the best God Father a child could ever have. My Uncle and his family came to Christ earlier in their lives and I am sure ever since the day my parents chosen him as my God father he and his wife have been praying for me daily.
I came to Christ when I was in my final year of highschool when the Billy Graham crusade came to the my highschool. I did not make my commitment at the main event but rather at a pre-crusade event hosted by Al Denson at the Schuylkill Haven High School. I remember the night clearly. I just got off my shift working at the local hospital where I worked in the dietary department. I had a point where I could have chosen to go home or go to the high school (I can’t remember how I heard of the event). I chose to go to the event which was already in action. When they asked if anyone wanted to make a commitment with eyes closed and heads down I made my commentent. Shockingly when I went to pray with someone my cousin was there. His first reaction was “I didn’t realize you where helping”. I said I wasn’t here to help I am making a commitment. My Uncle was also there. He was obviously over joyed. I am so glad I could bring so much joy to his life through accepting Christ.
*To be continued* Need to go to a baby shower.
