I grew up in a christian household, and became a christian at a very young age. Going through my life of growing up and school, many prayers had been answered from God either "Near death experiences" or just minor ones like finding my lost book. But as I moved on into highschool, I realised that there was a lot of things that I didn't know about, and which christians didn't do. As I was in a Christian School I learnt that many people were not christians, and I too backslid.

I moved on to a State school, and then became involved with Parties, and everything else that occurs there. For years I was continueously lying to mum about what we got up to at parties. So as I played the innocent child role, I got away with many things in my own eyes. Eventually I said to God, " Later " I'll become a christian when I finished school. Although how dangerously stupid I was, God gave me the chance to make it all the way through school without dieing!

Somehow I had something in my head that I thought "Once a christian, Always a christian"! Which I'm sure you've all heard before. When I became a christian I realised that you have to have an encounter of God to keep a passion and a hunger to keep on going for him. If we dont' have an encounter with God and we find ourselves bored in Christianity, do a simple thing and be Desperate to hunger the word and the presence of God upon your life. I did it and now I'm finished school and am straight into Bible College. Now I'm not saying that's what everyone should do, but I'm not sure what God's plan is for my life, but I'm not going to sit around and miss it.I encourage you to HUNGER for God. Press in and you will be blessed abundently.

John 10:10 " The thief does not come except to steal, kill, and destroy. I have come that you may have life, and you may have it more abundantly.
