Oh, the 90's

I find it funny that most of the people I hangout with were born in the 90's. Yeah that is right, that makes me just a few years from 30.  Well as far away as that decade might seem it brings a very familiar time to my memory. In fact I think 1999 was one the most life changing years of my life.  It  was long before Bible collage, working a job to pay bills, and ever getting a date. At the time I was a bit of a nerdy kid, very quiet, didn't really care much about school, just went to church because it was what I had always done and I liked the people there. That was until one night in November that year, I believe it was the 8th or the 18th. It was the night I decided to make Jesus my personal Lord and Savior. I remember walking out of church that night. I didn't feel a whole lot different, as far as anyone else could tell I was the same young man on the outside. Little did I realize that there were changes going on inside of me of the spiritual kind. I noticed that as the days passed and the process of sanctification and maturity worked, my thought process was changing. I realized I had to actually do my homework if I was ever going to pass High School. I also realized that being popular was not all it was cut out to be. As The years began to pass and I began to learn more about the Bible and how God was moving in the world around me. In those few short years while still in High School I learned something so basic, that it still sticks with me today. That would be "loving others because Christ first loved me." Something that can only be accomplished through Christ in me. Oh, how that has stuck with me and flowed out of the opportunities that I have been given. I believe it will remain so, even in times of waiting, misunderstanding, impatience, and direct rebellion. I know that in God's time Africa is not just a dream, it is a reality. So what do we believe? http://donate.worldvision.org/OA_HTML/xxwv2ibeCCtpSctDspRte.jsp?section=10339&lpos=lft_txt_Emergency-Aid
