I Believe:

God

Do you believe in God? Well I do. Living in this world today, its always
good to know God and put him first in your day to day activities. Growing up as a
kids, I was first introduce to Christianity by my father. At the age of six, my dad
always took us to church and always talk to me about the things of God and how
God has change his life from being bad to a God fearing man. With that example, I
grow up in the things of God and also started singing in the church choir at the age
of eight. With the love of Christianity, I was acited to take a new journey in my life
where are was going to attend a Christian mission to continue my education.
Making this decision, it was really hard for me but with the faith and believe in
Christianity, it was easy at the end. When I went on campus, everything seems
different and more complicated in the first week; I had to be up at six in the
morning to attend Morning Prayer and 10pm for even devotion. With all this taxes
at hand it was very complicated to understand the words. One early morning, I was
sitting on my bed before morning prayer and I begin to think about my past life
and all of the things I had before taking this jonury, then I ask myself why should I
suffer on this campus instead of just calling my grandma to pick me up? After a
week later, I finally desired to leave the campus. Everything went well the first
week and I was happy about the changes but not too long everything went totally
bad for me. It was on a Sunday morning when I receive a call from the pastor
asking about my absent in church, we talk for almost an hour and then he said to
me the lord needs you to do his work. I was afraid and it worry me for days, I
was unhappy at the same time I was also thinking about my life as a young man
growing up; however, I decided to do the things of the world and abounded God
works. Few months later, I begin to experience lot of changes in my life. For
example, my step mom close my account, my dad didnt have time for me, and I
became to get sick and also had a terrible cut on my head and I was rush to the
hospital. While laiding on my hospital bed, I ask myself why all these things keep
happening to me? Then I told my dad to take me back on the mission so I can be
around people my age groups. When I went back, I took everything very serious

and I was more involve in the church work and also started playing the drum for
the church and everything started to go normal and my dad started to visit and even
call to check on me, then I realize that God did all these things for certain reason.
Then I took my prayer request to my pastor and I told him to pray for my mom and
he told me to believe in God and everything will be alright. I fasted and pray for
weeks upon weeks and after two years I finally spoke to my mom for the first time
over ten years. I says this to say that when you believe in God everything going to
be okay no matter how long or how much a take hes showily going to answer your
prayer.
