When I talk about God moment’s I’m talking about that those moments in your life when everything changes! The moments when you enter a room one way and when you stand up to leave you’re a completely different person because God just completely changed your life. In my life I can think of 3, I’m sure there were many more but none that stick out like other 3!
12 year old Adam was very different than most 12 year olds! My life up until this point in my life was a roller coaster in every since of the word! I experienced the divorce of my mother and father at the age of 4-5. After that my mother and I moved all around the southeast; her trying to find work and a place for us to stay, and me constantly changing schools. Finally at around my 6th grade year we settled back in central Florida. Transitioning back into a “normal” life was hard for me! I didn’t know how to make friends, I didn’t know anyone where I was at and now looking back all I wanted more than anything was to just fit in… And that’s just what I did. For the next 3 years I did whatever it took for me to fit in with my peers!
Some how in the summer between my 8th grade year and my 9th grade year I found myself at Christian summer camp! I don’t remember many things from that summer camp but I do remember 3 things. I remember thinking the counselors who were running the camp were crazy, not just loud and obnoxious crazy but REALLY CRAZY, like something wrong in there heads! They all Loved Jesus so much, and all they wanted was all of us to meet Him and love Him like they did! I also remember wondering around the camp grounds when I was suppose to be meeting with my team or in service! I wasn’t much of a rule follower back then (I’m still not very good at it but I try) but for some reason I would just wonder around to myself. I found some interesting stuff! I found a Gamecube set up to a really small T.V in a janitor’s closet. Most importantly I remember sitting in a service on a Thursday night. I remember the Camp pastor standing up front preaching out of a big floppy bible! I remember him explaining the Gospel in a way that called for a decision, and I made a decision! In that moment God changed my Life! I believe when I stood up and said YES, I want to put my faith in Christ, He changed my heart. He took my heart of stone and gave me a heart of flesh!
That Thursday night, I meant face to face the God of the universe and He forever changed my future! If this doesn’t qualify, as the “God Moment” than I don’t know what is! Keep a look out for Part 2 and Part 3 coming soon!
Do you remeber the moment when you put your faith in Christ? What do you remember?
