I grew up in church going to church, youth groups, youth trips all through my childhood and high school...got saved when i was younger but dont really remember time and date and all that jazz...i was never really serious about it and knew i was a christian and sayed my prayers but i never actually was prepared and ready to lay it all down for him...the summer going into my senior year of high school i went to senior week with one of my friends that had just graduated...BIG mistake lol...well that was the first time that alcohol entered my system and it was constantly there for the next year. I had a scholarship to play baseball at Young Harris College in GA...the coach is from my hometown and baseball was just a passion of mine...my junior year i actually had the 15th highest batting average in the state of NC...but thats beside the point...all i wanted to do my whole senior year was barely make it by and get to baseball practice then GET DRUNK WOOO HOOO YEAAAAHHH BOYYY GET R DONE type of thing that all obnoxious high schoolers want to do haha...so i did it constantly...classes didnt start for me til after twelve so...i would get drunk a night or two during the week then it was a givin i would be drunk every weekend. Well needless to say my grades fell to the point i was gonna have to redshirt at YHC and i barely graduated high school...well my senior week rolled around the day after i graduated...i took 2 cases of beer down to myrtle beach SC and we stayed 4 nights...well the morning that we had to leave to come home i alone had managed to drink 4 cases of beer (96 beer) and 2 bottles of liquor...reminder...me alone...i was sober on the ride down and vividly remember the next 5 days. Well was scheduled to go on a youth conference in GA called GO TELL...wonderful youth camp fyi...on the day after i returned from the beach. Well i jus kinda wanted to be on vacation more or less and while i was there Clayton King spoke one night on living for Christ and that was when i realized i wasn't. On June 11, 2007 I rededicated my life to Jesus Christ because i want to be sure of where im going when i die. But as you know your testimony never ends...since i gave my life completely to Christ i have landed a job that is rare...making 15 dollars an hour doing NOTHING w/o a college degree and am in the process right now of getting my youth ministry from North Greenville University. Oh and did i mention that on October 18, 2008 my little sister got saved because she wanted to be like her big bro? Oh and did i mention that on that same exact night my BEST friend got saved and gave his life to the lord? Oh and did i mention that God had me praying for 6 months on my hands and knees for him to let me have the chance to share the Word with my best friend...My best friend recently asked me to be his best man at his wedding which he is marrying a woman fully committed to the Lord and he is now in a Praise and Worship band at his University and is on fire for the Lord. I went to Atlanta at the end of 09 on some prison ministry work and helped lead 7 to recieve Jesus in their heart for the first time and 8 rededications. This was in a MAXIMUM security prison...wow Whom shall I Fear for My God is with me? I realized those men were the same as you and I for the fact that sin is a sin no matter what sin you commit. Your testimony never ends once again and that is something to thank the Lord for because he is in control and he is in your drivers seat. God is so Good all the time. And the verse John 3:16...ya it may be the first verse you ever learn as a new believer but i dont believe we refer to that verse enough because God loved You and I so much...that He...God of this universe...master of commands...gave his son to die on the cross for not only the sins I commit in my life...but EVERY SINGLE SIN EVER COMMITTED BY EVERY SINGLE PERSON WHO HAS LIVED...AND WHO WILL LIVE...just so that we...sinners...may have eternal life inside the gates of heaven...which we by no means deserve. Wow God really did this for you and I...wow how could someone love us so much? Would you send your son to die for me? He did because he loves us...wow
im bout to start crying right now haha. Thank you GBG for being such an inspiration...this site is more than just people to hang out and game together...this is a place to build HIS army with his men and women. So GBG lets go fight the battles and spread the word...even over xbl...planting that seed...saying that one nice thing to someone when they aren't being so nice themselves. That is what he expects us to do...Spread the good news...and the good news is the Word of God! God Bless GBG and thanks for lettin me be part of this ministry!
