What's My Story
Beth
Before I grew into a mature relationship with Jesus, I would be involved in getting up to mischeif with my friends at church by starting a group called, 'The Annoying Club' and go around after church annoying people and targeting people we didnt like. We would do things like shoving woodchips in other peoples pockets and running away, putting red cordial on the sunday school fans and turning it on the fastest it could go without anyone knowing who did it, knock and run houses in the streets near church and mucking up for sunday school teachers who were not our favourite.
When I grew into a mature relationship with Jesus, I stopped those childish behaviours because it was upsetting people and my friends and I would get into trouble for it and I changed into someone that had a desire to serve people in the church rather then annoy people.
I did little things in the chuch to help people and found satisfaction through doing things to serve God such as setting up communion, work the over head projector for worship and occasionally make supper to cook for people in the congregation and began to care about people whom I use to target with my annoying club.
I began to get a stronger desire to see other people get to know Jesus and have a relationship with Jesus. I understood that to get to heaven was through a frienship with God and not by attending church. The greatest thing about having eternal life is that I now know for sure that I am going to heaven because of Jesus taking the punishment for my wrong doings and I have no fear of dying and I know that when I have worries about life issues, I can always take it to God and he will deal with it.
