Unexpected Outcome

I was 16 years old when I decided to give my life to the Lord. It was the spring semester of my senior year in high school. I was getting ready to go off to college and I knew it would be a good idea to have God on my side if I wanted to succeed.

Salvation was not what I expected. And since then, life has not been what I expected, either.

As I enter this new genre in my life, I am revisiting this time and relishing in the fact that although the flavor was different, the taste was still good. Salvation from the outside appeared a lot different from actual experiences. True Christianity sticks a big mirror in your face, shows you how jacked up you are, then gives you the tools you need to be more like Christ. No, I'm not an overnight sensation, but I know that as I continue to submit myself to the truth, I will be made free. And that's all I ever wanted to be.
