I grew up going to church but never realised that these children's stories applied to my life now. As I grew older, I rejected God and church, and really despised most of the Christians I knew. At the same time, I hated myself and the way I was, but I did not really know what the problem was.
I had a gap year and worked in Albania, living with a Christian family. Over there, it means a lot to follow Jesus. It was the first time I saw clearly that it made a difference to their lives.
As well as seeing the people around me, I was teaching English. The translation material was the Alpha Course and the Bible! This raised questions and there were two incidents:
An English preacher - Mark 9 "helped me overcome my unbelief." God was speaking to me. Sitting outside reading the Bible, I thought, "This is really true! All those things I learned as a child are true now." I had the feeling of a weight being lifted. I did not care what anyone else thought of me because God knew everything about me and had forgiven me.
I have not looked back and my life is nothing like I imagined it would be, but I have seen that God's plan is good.
He has been so kind. Therefore, I want to take this step of obedience and be baptised.
