I Live for God
I haven't always been who I am now. That seems a bit trivial, as no one ever is, but by this I mean that I am a completely different creature. Let me tell you about it.I was not, generally speaking (and those who knew me then will think I should have left out this qualifier), a well-tempered child. I was always on the lookout to get the best I could for myself and stick anybody who stuck me. I knew what I wanted to do in everything; namely to impress as many people as possible. Then, when I was about eight years old, I did something different.I had been in church from the time I could be carried, and had missed church services only for fire, famine, or sickness that kept me from moving.

This time I was older, and in complete control of my thoughts. I knew what I had to do to be saved. I asked Him to take me back, after years of straying from a committment that was initially made by one too young to understand it. While I'd thought about it for years, I finally was decisive enough to do it at a church camp. You'd think I'd learn, even at that age. I knew for a few years that I wasn't living as I should, and it bothered me. I talked with God and told Him that I knew there was a lot about me that needed to change. I'm not perfect by any means (again, those who know me can bear witness). Well, as boys do, I sort of drifted away. Still tempermental, still after my own ends. Since then, there has been a drastic change in me.
