My Story

I am going to incorporate a lot of random stuff into this post that I have picked up over a lot of things I guess but the undertone of it is a little story about me and how I really got pulled into the church. If you care stay, if not go ahead and read my other post while you are here and comment.

In 6th and sorta 7th grade I was in a really bad place. I was running with a bad crowd and doing a lot of things I probably shouldn't have. The worst of which probably being I denied God and lets not forget "if you deny me before men I will deny you before the father." I still believed in God and knew consequences but I didn't really go to church often and it was easy to fit in by saying that you agreed with a lot of things the Bible doesn't. If I didn't outright deny Him then I at least was a fence sitter which is worse. He would rather us be hot or cold but if we are lukewarm He will spit us out of His mouth.
But thank the Lord for our youth group. Growing up I really didn't want to go to church, I was one of those kids that thought they knew things, "I've already learned about Moses every grade why do I have to again! *whine scream hit cry every Sunday morning* and so I didn't go a lot and when I did I didn't really pay attention. But the youth group grabbed my attention, there were a lot of fun people in there plus they had an Xbox. But I really liked Steven Hovater and Ryan Smith so even though I didn't really fit in with a group not being around while they all grew up seeing each other 6 or 7 days out of the weeks I came to hear the lessons. Well it did change me and at Winterfest 08 I decided I wanted to be baptized and I had Steven Hovater do it. Now I can't stay out of the youth group and I have parents and other kids parents hauling me to stuff all the time. I have a huge group of friends and might know more kids at CAC than at my school which is an accomplishment when we have 2500 kids. I know I kinda made a short story out of this but I just thought it was kinda cool how the youth group helped me out and how much I am on fire for God now. This year while reading the Bible in a year I feel very in touch with God and that I am taking personal initiative for once rather than with a group. I was just writing and felt like writing all this down so hope you enjoyed.

P.S. I don't remember anything about the Neverending Story but I remember renting them all from a movie store once so I must have watched them.
