  I had just met a Christian woman. She told me what she had plans for on Sunday. So I tagged along. Before I met this woman it wasn't the best time of my life. I knew there was a God and I knew of Jesus Christ, but when it came to church I couldn't listen. I just couldn't hear the truth.
  Month’s later and still tagging along, I found myself sitting next to this woman in Sunday school class and as I heard the truth it was beginning to sink in, God loves me. The more I surrounded my life with our Christian Believers and attended more church services the more the gift Jesus could give me burdened my heart.
  While listening to the invitation week after week, I thought in my mind “All I need to do is step forward and say what I already know.” I knew that Jesus died for me and all my sins past, present and future, so I like He could have eternal life. As the weeks went by I just didn't do it. Then one night my girlfriend took me to a Christian drama. The play showed what happened at the end of several lives. In each scene the believer went to Heaven and the nonbeliever went to hell. On the way home we discussed the play and what it meant to me. When I arrived back to her house she sat me down and opened her Bible and led me to Christ. Ever since that night I have been rejoicing and praising Jesus Christ.
  God has blessed me in many ways beyond the gift of salvation. He has given me a good church home. He has helped me lead members of my family to Christ. He has given me a whole new set of friends, and a vision for my life. One of the biggest blessings is that the young woman who led me to Christ is now my wife.
