Let Me Back-up

Before I continue, I feel that it is important for me to let everyone know that I have always known that something was missing in my life and could never put my finger on what that something was. After attending Trinity Baptist Church for several weeks, it became clear what that something was. I knew then that I was missing Jesus in my life. I made an appointment for a pastor (Brother Steve James) to talk with me in our home. That night I prayed for God to forgive me of my sins, and accepted Jesus as my personal Lord and Savior (August 29, 2000). I knew that this is what my life needed and still felt that I didn't have to let go of everything. I still felt as though I could fix it myself. It wasn't until July 5, 2011 that I knew without a doubt that I was saved. It was at that moment when I fully gave everything over to God and ask Him what to do in every aspect of my life. Some of what God ask for us to do takes a lot of courage and this courage that we show in obedience is building our faith that God is in control, not us. A scripture that is comforting to me when talking about trusting God is ".....let us draw near o God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful." Hebrews 10:22-23 (NIV) This verse tells us that when we put all our trust in God, we will grow in our relationship with Him.
