> Date: it kinda crept up on me, but I'd say a couple of months before I turned 20.
> Single, Married, etc.: single
> Testimony: I grew up in a Christian family, but didn't take what God wanted for my life seriously, especially when I was 16 - 19. I called myself a Christian, but I wasn't utterly devoted to God, which, through his grace, I am now. It is amazing that God should love us so much he'd send his son, Jesus, to live a perfect life and then die, carrying the weight of OUR sin! There is nothing we can do to deserve the righteousness he has made possible for us, and no way we can be thankful enough. In letting Jesus into our hearts, and choosing to live for God rather than ourselves, well, we are only doing our duty! (Lk 17:10). And yet, even as we are servants only doing our duty, Jesus calls us his brothers and sisters, and God calls us his children! We have to praise God for his might and power, and his great love for us! We have to tell the world about him, about Jesus, about the change the Spirit brings about in our hearts, our actions and our words!
