Story #32
-
When I was four years old, I was placed into foster care. About a year later, I was adopted into a loving family, with whom I still live with. At the moment however, I live at a United Methodist Boy’s Ranch because of some issues that arose. I say this because it was at this ranch that God began to work in my life like never before. I had always professed Christianity before, gone to church, and praised Jesus. Still, I wasn’t living a Christ-like life in accordance with the Bible and I didn’t feel like God could forgive what I had done. Two years ago, at a Methodist summer camp called DaySpring, God spoke to my heart, leading me to give my testimony at one of the evening services. While doing so, God told me that He loved me, would forgive me and that He wanted me to become a minister. Since that time, I have commited myself wholly to Jesus and turning my life around. I have plans to attend college to become a minister and carry out God’s will for my life. God loves and will forgive.
