I was a Ralph Nader liberal--until the World Trade Center was destroyed by Muslim terrorists.

That started my (very) slow realization that this world is not all there is.

Actually, I don't remember much of my life before I became a Christian. XD; I became a Christian when I was 6 years old, and before that, I was surrounded by Christianity in my home, school, and church. My testimony's not one of those amazing "I used to be on drugs" testimonies, but that's not really what matters, anyways. :)

I have grown up in a Christian family and school so God has always been a part of my life, though my faith has been tested countless times so I have something to base it on, I'm not following just because my parents told me to.

I gave my life to Jesus when I was maybe four. Curcumstances mostly beyond my control had me more schizophrenic than was probably nessisery by the time I was 8. At 14 I was an evil, sadistic, manipulative, well, you get the point. Thats not an excuse, I could have avoided that if I'd tried harder. I came back to Jesus at around 16. I cant be sure exactly with the memory loss.

I was 8 when I gave my life to Jesus and I was raised in a Christian home so I don't remember really before that... sometimes I wonder if it would have helped if I was older so I could have seen how my life had changed after becoming a Christian for those dark times of doubt. But either way, I regave my life to Jesus in like February of this year and have notice significant change though far from perfect... I was uber depressed and suicidal but that all pretty much evaporated once I began to focus on what was REALLY important... although there are still little bumps along the way but anyway yea...

Well, since I am a cradle Catholic, I guess you could say I've always been a follower. But before I became more serious, I was quite agnostic.

I was a nominal Christian with a lot of weird philosophies that I made up about who God is. Fortunately, God showed me I was wrong...and showed me the truth, too! ^_^
