At 13, I became a Christian, I was excited and I praised and worshiping God. I even got baptized but however I though I know what it mean but it turn out I didn't know what it mean. However time passed and I lost my focus on God, I started hanging with the "wrong crowd" and started to do things my way, not God. At age 18, I started drinking alcohols and smoking. I though I better enjoy my life and not worry about God. I've been doing this two years but came Aug. 8, 2009, I was hanging some of my friends. It was midnight, and everybody was drunk. It was just the three of us. We were on a gravel road and nobody wear any seat beats. I sitting at the passage seat with my window down and then we came the devil turn, very sharp turn. We were driving at 80 mph speed at a 10 mph turn. My friend lost control and rammed to a tree, just inches off the curb. One sudden more and we be flipping like 10 times but we didn't. That just how close we were from dying. My head hit the front window. But here what got me, even at those high speed. Nobody was harm except we had minor cut and bruises. I was about 10 second of dying there. I though I was facing death. But Thank to God I am still alive. Around 3am I was home, but I was in a mood to walk. So I walked around thinking what would happen. Then I just couldn't take this anymore. I was a a Wal- Mart parking lot and I just kneel down and cried out to God in 7 years. I cried saying " I can't do this anymore, I can't stop running from you. God, you win, I give up." That night, I remember what the pastor said just when I was 13 years old, he said "For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace." (Romans 6:14).
On Aug. 15, I recommitted my life for Christ, and a week after that I was baptized again and this time, I fully understand what it meant. For the first time in my life, I haven't felt any emptiness. It feel like I was full. That all the pieces just came together. Since then, I have been clean from drugs and alcohols five months and I haven't seen my friends since the accident. Even though it was just five months, but with God I can do anything. Thank for Jesus Christ for taking my sins on that cross and give me hope and new life.
Thank You
