Confessions of a 7-month old renewed Christian

Born-again Christian... Say what??? One of my many reactions about Christian faith. This was during the time when I do not know of what really is being a Christian. I grew up studying on a Catholic School(I don't have any intention of disrespecting the Catholic Faith) and was raised by a Catholic Family, that is why during this time, I do have a closed-mind with regards to any religions. Look where I am right now... I'm a proud Christian Believer.

As the phrase would say "Everything happens for a reason" I was brought here on my faith today not by an accident. I started attending a Christian service July 2006, and was invited by a friend, but did you know that i have encountered 3 situations that for me was a sign from which God is calling me to be a Christian believer? The first thing was during my 1st year college days @ San Sebastian College, where during a dinner with my friends, I saw a group of student having fun beside the place on where we are eating. I don't have any idea of what they are doing but I already have a feeling that I want to join them, which surprisingly it was the VCF-UBelt Church that I only found out and remembered that incident only last month. The second incident was on my multiply account from where I created it 2 years ago, that I posted on my profile that I was a Christian and not a Catholic (It's not a big deal though). And lastly, my other friend had been inviting me to VCF-Ortigas since 2003, but during that time, I was too busy leading a school organization.

Nonetheless, as for me, Catholic and Christian faith shares in one ideology and also differs from many ideologies. Anyway, I've only been here for 7 months and since my 1st month, I've made a decision to continue this faith that made my perspective of life, even me, CHANGE...

I never thought that Christian faith would make a big difference in my life and made me a better person today. Above all, amidst all the trials in life, I'm here standing firm knowing that god is the true master of my life.

As a Christian, I have learned;

> that Jesus is Lord
> that God has a plan for us to prosper
> to respect myself
> to deal things in a good manner
> to wait
> that we are saved
> to learn more as I continue to receive the gift of eternal life.
