I am blessed to have my personal relationship with Christ. I was 44 years old when I asked Jesus into my life. I finally understood it was about more than me. I was a “good guy,” successful, had friends but was empty inside. Material things, successful business, and having a wife that loved me IN-SPITE of knowing me were not enough. I knew about Jesus but figured, “Who really needs it!” On the outside I was good. On the inside I was miserable.
My wife and a friend in the neighborhood suggested I go to church (I had heard the “Jesus story” before) and I decided to go. From the 1st message from Pastor Henry Loggins (Center Baptist Church, Robertstown, GA) he was throwing fastballs and I felt they were thrown directly at me. After six weeks of sitting under Pastor Henry’s preaching and realizing Jesus died and rose again for my sins, I almost jumped over a pew and went down to an altar and asked Jesus to come into my life and save me.
Before having Christ in my life, I was all business. After asking Jesus into my life I wanted and NEEDED to tell others about my salvation. God even gave me a song about my personal experience. The song is “Christmas Came September.”

There was a time in my life when I was unsure of who I was and what my purpose in life was. I thought, “Do I just grow up to work and rest so I can work some more? What will happen at the end of my life?” I had heard Bible stories growing up, and many times had prayed to be saved. But there was one problem. I didn’t see how I was a sinner.
One night, after reading another Bible story, called The Parable of the Sower, I asked God to make my heart good soil and to plant His seed in my heart one last time. As I prayed, I realized two things. First, I could never be good enough, and even little white lies and rebelling against my parents counted as sin. I also realized that I needed to make Jesus the Lord of my life. I needed to depend on Him to show me how to live my life.
Since that night, I have had a growing relationship with Jesus. He has shown me who I am in Him and has given me purpose for my life. My career as a nurse is not just a job but a calling and a mission field which I found by depending on Jesus to be my Lord. Has life always been easy with Jesus in charge? No! There have been tough times I created for myself and tough times that have come due to others’ behaviors. But through it all, I have known strength and peace beyond all understanding. I know who I am, and I have hope for my future. I no longer wonder, “What happens at the end of this life.”
