Hello everyone!
I'm a 32 year old former cell biologist, and science teacher.
I've been a Christian for most of my life, I can't judge others but in my opinion I was headed for those wide gates at about 90 mph. I've always read the Bible, prayed, and even in the most odd times spread the word. Sometimes I had a cig. hanging out of my mouth, telling a coworker that God loves him even if he doesen't believe, or in one scary moment with my wife I had to prove to a guy I wasn't somebody he had issues with in prison, 10 sec.'s later I was telling him about the Lord.
BUT there was one big issue, I hadn't taken that next step, and turned my back on sin and commit my full LIFE and actions to the Lord. I prayed for it to happen many nights and days, and I found myself moving forward only to take one huge leap back. I understood we couldn't serve 2 masters(alcohol), but I was blind, and pride filled.
On 3-9-08, I stood in church and listened to the story of Jesus passing by the blind beggar who called out for Jesus to heal him. For lack of any better words, I called out also for the Lord, with my broken pride, broken heart, and I repented. I turned my back on who I was and he took my life and my will for His. I'm happier now than I have ever been, I crave the Word like never before, my life has changed, I was reborn. I cry every time I tell this story, which isn't like me at all.
THANK YOU LORD! My life, my heart, my will is yours.
