I grew up in a non Christian household. My dad is indifferent to faith, but my mother is completely against it. I was never really introduced to God or Christianity, but I wish I was. When I was a teenager (like most others) I fell into some pretty dumb stuff, I was drinking, smoking, and picked up a porn addiction that I still fight with everyday. I almost threw away my virginity at the age of fifteen. I know how dumb that would of been, but at the time i just wanted to lose it. And luckily I never got into any hard drugs, but I had every intention of it, till I met God.
There was a girl named Natasha who I had the hugest crush on at the time. She mentioned Jeremy Camp, a Christian singer. I wasn't against Christianity, I just didn't know anything about it. She asked if I wanted to go to the concert, even though I had no interest in jeremy camp, I had interest in her.
When we were there I was amazed, everyone was so into it and I could tell it was far beyond just enjoying the music, there was something very supernatural going on. After the Concetta I asked Natasha if she could help me find God. I remember feeling dumb for asking and thinking shed say I was an idiot, but then she was so excited to say yes. I realized: a Christians favourite thing to see is someone come to God. They know how wonderful it is and will do whatever it takes to help others find him. We have an eternity in heaven, but only a lifetime to gather as many others as possible.
So September, 11, 2008 I went to the steps of the Moncton wesleyan, where the Jeremy Camp concert was and I tried talking to God, I brought my last pack of cigars and I threw them on the ground, promising God I would give up cigars forever if he would give me what those other kids had. I have been saved ever since that day.
