Ok, well hen i was 3 i dont even know why but i was trying to talk to God. My parents dont even know how because i didnt go to church so "what would cause me to try to talk to God"? so i was in my bedroom window at night asking God if he could hear me, well God didnt answer so i started crying and my mom asked me what was wrong and i told her that God wouldnt talk to me so he didnt love me (i was SO wrong) so when i was 4 or 5 i could remember asking my mom to bring me to a church, i dont know whye but i just wanted to go, so my mom ALWAYS said no, then she finally let me go to ccd but i didnt like it much so she let me quit. a few years later when i was 9 (when i wasnt interested in church) my mom and her friend visited an episciple church and my mom liked it, so i would go with her EVERY sunday to church for about 2 years, i can remember one easter everyone was crying and i was asking my mom why and she told me it was because they felt the presence of Jesus. so i was jealous because i didnt feel anything but thinking about when the service was going to end. we finally stopped going to that church. then my mom got a job at a christian book store a few years later and she ,met a pastor there and we started going to his church but i still didnt like it, but my mom worked with ANOTHER pastor of a baptist church and i went on a trip with his youthgroup to a snow camp and i began to REALLY like the group of kids there so i started going to youthgroup every thursday night, the next year, my mom got cancer, she was Never sad or worried about it but i always was, i asked her why she wasnt afraid of dying and she told my that it was because she knew that she was going to heaven. so i was VERY jealous that she had that kind of relationship with god that she wasnt afraid of dying (she said that god told her everything will be ok and that he has plans for her) so she got the top kidney doc within the first 2 days of finding the cancer, and 2 more days later the cancer was gone and another 4 days later she was out of the hospital. everyone was so Happy that nothing bad happened and 2 weeks later, she went on another trip with the youth group, onb that trip, I got saved, and it was all because of the strength and faith my mom had in God that he wouldn't let ANYTHING bad happen to her. i have been attending the church that i went on the trip with for about 2 years and i dont think i would feel more at home anywhere else. my mom works on sundays now so i just go to work with her(she works right next to the church) and i have someone pick me up so i can go to church. and i go to almost every trip the youthgroup has and i have the best group of friends now and i woulnd't trade it for anything.

That's exciting! That proves that the faith of others' can lead people to Christ.
