Why Am I A Christian?

Some of you probably guessed it from the beginning, when i started this community, that i would end up switching sides. spakspang once called me Israel (as in Jacob) because, as he put it, i was the kind of guy who would pick a fight with God, and i wouldn't relent until he broke something.

I remember back when we used to chat on irc, I would go away from our conversations and pray for you, because you were so full of anger and hurt and fight! I wanted to see God work in you, bring the healing and experience with Him that you so desperately needed. I'm glad that He did that, Shawn. You're awesome, and I'm proud to call you a brother in Christ. I love you. *HUG*

You obviously don't know me aside from a few passing comments I've made in the past. But let me say that I've been affected and encouraged by what you've posted in the past weeks. Yours is truly a remarkable story, Thanks for making it public. May God continue to teach you.

Sincerely,

I found you and this entry somehow (it's amazing what wonderful things one can find, when one has the time to look around! :)), and I just had to say something.

Your story was beautiful and inspiring. It affected me deeply. I thank you for sharing it, and I wish you all the joy the Good Lord has to offer.

God bless.
