Elizabeth M. - Louisiana

(continued)
It took me one whole month to make the decision that I thought that I had already made. It was the same day of the Lord's Supper and I really felt guilty that I had been taking the bread and the grape juice for so long for the wrong reasons. I was then baptized on August 10, 2000. About three or four months later I felt God calling me again, he wanted me to commit my life to be a missionary as a career. I said so many times okay God I'll do it but I really don't have to tell anyone that way if something doesn't work out, I won't look like this bad person or anything. Well God said no that's not enough, I want a commitment. So when I was at Centrifuge at Carson Newman college on June 2-8th I heard Jon Gillis preach. I had been praying that Jon would speak to me though God and he did so on that Thursday night I committed my life to missions or to be a missionary. Once I had done this I felt this great peace and my youth group encouraged and prayed for me and I just felt so loved like never before. (more)
