My story with God

MaryAnn advised me to put this on here so here it goes..... my story with God..... Well I grew up in a home where we only went to church on Easter and Christmas. Part of the reason being the church we went to, whenever we did happen to go, was an hour away. The other part being that my parents just never really felt like going. However, even though we didnt go to church often my parents did send me to a Christian camp since I was in about 4th grade. I think that first year I accepted Christ because I remember staying after chapel to talk to someone. Not totally sure what it was about. But I remember telling my friends parents about what the counsler and I had just talked about and they were really happy and excited. After that I still didn't go to church very often or anything but I kept going to those camps every year. Two years ago, as always I went to the same camp. We were all at the outdoor chapel. I remember Pastor Dave talking and giving his sermon. He went on about how sometimes we compartmentalize our lives and there are some compartments that we don't particularly want God to see. He talked about giving Jesus the throne of our lives. Afterwards counslers stood in the back for us to talk to. God helped me realize that I wasnt giving him the "throne of my life." I hesitated but I ended up talking to my counsler, Sarah. Sarah prayed with me. I asked Jesus to take over my life. After I prayed I had my "I'm the worst person in the world breakdown" I had no close friends there with me so I went through the breakdown by myself. I decided to actually live my life for the Lord. When I went home i was super excited. Both of my close friends are unsaved, but I still wanted to tell them. So I called my friend Kadee and told her what happened. 10 min later her mom( who i was also close to) called me back telling me that I was a good person I didn't need to do this. Of course she wasnt trying to hurt me but it did very much. That was the being of many hurts to come from her. ( but that another long story for another time) I got very confused, had another breakdown. Before I brokedown I left the house to go for a walk. The whole walk I prayed. God told me that I did do the right thing. That I shouldn't let anything or anyone get in the way of my love for him because nothing is gonna get in the way of his love for me. Ever since then I have tried to live for Him. Although at times I didn't I always loved Him the same. NOw I love God more than I did when my "God story" had just started.
