my God

a long time ago, i discovered God.

probably when i was 12 or 11.

i can't really remember how i became a Christian. i do remember sitting in for a lot of bible study sessions that made me very uncomfortable. i remember being moved to tears and confessing my sins to the Almighty One. i remember going to church and falling asleep. i remember volunteering as a member in Youth For Christ. i remember walking the streets and sharing the Good News. i remember trying to convince my family that God was the only way. i remember being self-righteous telling off my friend, who had a drinking problem at age 14, and saying to him, "i won't judge you. but what would God think?" i remember one bible study when a door slammed shut from the wind and i retorted, "niaaaah.... sheeeaaddduup!" like Daffy Duck and all the kids laughed but the bible study teacher said to me, "now, as a Christian, you don't say things like that. its very rude." i remember praying to God during a softball game, "please God, let us win. if we win, i'll never ask anything of you ever again." we did win, and i did ask again. i remember being close to a girl, and her friend said to me, "if only you were Catholic."

who is this being that created me and is responsible for everything in my life, before and after i met Him?

whether He's real or not, and as much as i'm often inclined to deny Him, discovering God has been important to me.

yeeesh.
