Hey Guys
How is everyone doing? It has been a long while since I last posted. So much has changed in the course of a year. So many people are getting married. So who is next? Hahahaha.
Anyways, I would like to announce that I’m “baptized” and reborn as a Christian J wooo hooooo. I feel so blessed and thankful that I can share with you all and would also like to apologize to those I forgot to mention and invite (which are many). Please forgive me as I know all of you were busy with plans and it would have been short notice on my part.
For the longest time, I had the challenge of not having enough faith in God. My prayers were always asking for more time with Him so I could know Him better. In Hebrews 4: 2 its says;
For we also have had the gospel preached to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because those who heard did not combine it with faith.
Here is my testimony I would like to share it with all of you. Continue the faith and give thanksJ
Music has always been my passion. During my early years, I was in a band called Rock Bottom. And like this name suggests, my life had hit Rock Bottom before I found God.
During my band years, my goal in life was to have what every rock star had - money, girls, and fame. I had poor judgement between good and bad, and believed in instant gratification. Because of that I hurt a lot of people who were important to me.
While I was enjoying this stage in my life, I also felt lost. I had made some poor choices that left me with an uncertain future. I could see and sense hope but I didn’t know where to go and how to ask for it.
During that time, I felt like I was locked up in a dark closet, not knowing where I was going and how I was to get out. I guess I was waiting for someone or some saviour to show up and guide me out.
Looking back, God saved me when I hit Rock Bottom 3 years ago. That was when my previous marriage ended, and I lost all my possessions, including my home. I became depressed and empty at the same time frustrated and angry.
But I believe God reached out to me soon after when my cousin Brian invited me to his church.
Praying and reading about His love was like a ladder that helped me climb out of that rut.
In Numbers 6:24-26, the Lord promises to bless me, and keep me and make his face shine upon me, and be gracious to me. The Lord promises to turn his face towards me and give me peace.
This promise tells me that God is all I need, He comforts me and cares for me.
I thank God for this second chance. For forgiving all my mistakes – which are many. I will make many more, I’m sure.
