For me, well, I was 13 when I accepted God in my life but I didn't truly mean it or even understand it at the time because I was so young. But when I truly re-accepted my Jesus in my life and truly meant it was honestly less than a year ago. My life was going down hill, did not no what to do. I was completely addicted to video games ruining my life, ignoring my responsibilities, basically caring more about games than even myself. I was a thief and did some pretty big things that could get me in trouble, and I mean big time. The day I was suppose to get caught doing these pretty illegal things, God told me in the hall way at work before I did it to "STOP." Litearlly felt him telling me "Don't do it, trust me, if you do that today you will regret it." So i listened to him, and the moment I truly meant I would stop doing these things at work. My boss came up to me saying they were looking for this thief most likely an employee thats been taking thousands of dollars worth of things. She told me that they raised security and paid more attention to the camera's at work. So if I kept doing it on that day I would have been caught. But didn't because I felt God telling me I needed to stop at that moment. After that, I kept getting closer and closer to God and eventually received my calling to become a Pastor. Now I'm saving up money to go to the community college here and attend Bible college at the same time while working. It's going to be tough, but I know working in the ministry will be the only job i will ever be content with other than becoming a usmc.
