I have this odd sensation sometimes that gets my mind thinking... It's probably just the devil that is putting the thoughts into my brain. I think fairly often.: Have I really been saved? Did I accept Christ as my Lord and Savior with my heart and not my mind? Did I really accept Christ when I tell others, or is it a recent thing?
This is where I am coming from. I tell everyone I accepted Christ around August 2008. I started to change my behavior in the Summer of 2009. I never opened the Bible before this summer. I never practiced anything that was in the Bible. Never really choosing to do much with this new found faith I had.
Was it truly accepted or did I just think of Jesus as my get out of Hell free card? Honestly I cant answer that question partly because I am afraid of the answer and partly because I don't exactly know. Maybe it was during the summer that I became a believer... or maybe I became a believer in August and God just decided it was about time that I started to act like one.
It's just something that has been going on in my head for a while now and I felt the need to put it in writing.
God Bless

About Me
- Ricky Barber
- Houghton, Michigan, United States
- I am a follower of Christ that has plenty of things going on and plenty of things to learn every day. I grew up outside the church, and moved pretty much my entire life from 7th grade on frequently. I didn't have the support needed and tended to be a loner and didn't develop the social skills until recently. My life has been forever changed because of the my summer spent in Charleston. I was baptized, friendships created, "family" found, and the way showed to me. I am forever grateful for the huge impact that everyone has had on me. God is good, God is amazing, God is who will get the glory.
