Leaving my baggage behind

     There was many shameful things in my life that I carried around. I carried hurt, jealousy, insecurity,  basically just my past mistakes. I don't really know any other reason why I would carry these intangible things around rather then just not letting the past go. About two years ago I was a totally a different person. I was 273 pounds and I was addicted to video games, food, and girls. I really didn't understand where my life was going. I was a super lazy kid and had no clue what I was going to do with the rest of my life. Until this one day that totally changed my life. One of my friends that I played Xbox with invited me to this Christian Club at La Mirada High. I always new that their was a God because really I new that their was more to life. That day someone pointed me to the right direction and showed me what I needed to do with my life. That day was the day that I gave me life to God. I accepted Jesus into my heart and he took all my past mistakes and threw them away. I found out that when you accept Jesus into your heart and you repent and turn away from sin, God not only forgives you but he forgets that you've ever sinned. He basically takes a huge eraser and erases all your mistakes and you begin to have peace in your heart. The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 5:17 that when you give your life to Christ you are a new creation, old has past and new has come. You see God cares more about your future then your past. He loves all of us. That's why he came to die for us. So we can spend eternity with him. In the Bible it says Romans 10:9-10 If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you wil be saved. For it is with the heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profes your faith and are saved." Life is more than just video games, girls, parties, and drugs. Life is about God and bringing people to God. That is why I wrote this because I was once in your position. Where I had no idea what was going on with my life. I had no clue what I was going to do. But when I found God. I began to have hope and I new that he has plans for me. Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a futire. You see, God has plans for each and every one of you. We just have to be willing to take that step of faith and take that step toward God. If anyone who reads this wants to take that step. Just contact me at (562) 405-6169 and I will point you into the right direction.

ps: Follow me as I Follow Christ   :)
