Conversion

In high school, before I was a Christian, I lived like there was no tomorrow. I adhered to the idea that all work and no play, makes Jack a dull boy. My parents would always tell me to say my prayers each night. However, ignorance is bliss and I decided not to know about the Christian faith. I told my parents that I would put the pedal to the metal and research this religious stuff. It was all talk and no action. I wanted to do my own thing, and play by my own rules. No one would tell me what to do and I was my own man. However, when I came to college, by the luck of the draw, I became a Christian. I abandoned ship in terms of the way I used to live. All bets were off in terms of my future plans. I discovered that my life is not my own and life is not about me, but about God. After converting to my faith, I decided to go the whole nine yards and got plugged into a church, and did what any good Christian boy would do. I put the pedal to the metal and started to read the Bible. Knowledge is power and the Bible gave me the power me to be stubborn as a mule in terms of my convictions. As I read the Bible, I saw evidences of the main character, Jesus, all over the map. All in due time, when you read between the lines, all the prophecies made in the Old Testament regarding this Man became true. Upon knowing this Jesus of the Bible, my previous joys and habits were thrown under the rug. My new faith became as good as gold. Now, all pale in comparison in knowing Jesus Christ as Lord.
