Alright, so i've been debating for a while on whether i should get a blog or not and the more i think about it, the more i want one just so people can see what our awesome God is doing specially in my life. So, as you can see, i got one. I love talking about my Lord. It's my favorite topic to talk about so i thought i could just write down for all to see my thoughts of Him.
First off, i want everyone who reads this to know the basic facts about me. Lets see, I'm currently a junior in high school at Crossroads Christian school (soon to be a junior at Wake Forest), i attend Richland Creek Community Church (best church ever! - just saying), and i'm in the Reid family (best family ever!). yes, i am the daughter of the famous Dr. Alvin Reid, Professor of Evangelism and Student Ministry at SEBTS and a widely known author and evangelist in the US -- and i'm super proud to be his daughter. He and my mom have both taught me so much about how to truly live my life for Christ. Being a little bit more like Jesus each day is what my heart desires. Striving to be more like Him is what I think of day in and day out. Though I am far from being anything like my Savior, I am trying my best.
Secondly, I want everyone to know my testimony. Some may have heard it before or have read it on my facebook before. But I don't care. You can suck it up and just read it again. (:
When I was about 5 1/2 years old my brother, Josh, and i were at home after a Sunday morning of church. I started asking him questions of Jesus and he answered each one. he then asked me if i would like to have Jesus in my heart and i said yes! So he prayed with me and i accepted Christ then and there.
Right now you may be expecting me to say --> "But then when i was 13 i realized i never truly understood what i was saying when i was only 5 years old so i accepted Christ into my life at 13 <-- Well, if you were thinking this, then you are wrong. Sorry, but you are. Yes, i was very young when i accepted Christ, but i meant it 100%. I have no doubt in my mind about my salvation. I remember when i was just 7 years old I would be the annoying little girl who asked all the other 1st graders if they knew Jesus. I have always loved my jesus.
Now, I could stop there and say "well that's my testimony. Have a good day!" but that wouldn't be right. That's not where my testimony stops. My testimony is still growing. that's just the very beginning of my testimony and my life with Christ. Anything that has brought me closer to Christ is a part of my testimony. Hard ships are a part of it as well. I grow a little more each day. My daily actions and decisions are a part of my testimony. Whether it's school, family, friends, boys or whatever; each has it's own place. Each has a part of my daily decision to follow my jesus. Each has it's own way of somehow glorifying the One who is worthy of all praise.
So for those who had never heard or read my testimony before.. you can now say that you have. There's far more different things that have pushed me away from the Lord and have brought me down on my hands face down embracing the love of my Savior. But that will come in later blogs. For now I think this book that i have just written is far too much as it is. Sorry it's so long. (: But I hope you enjoyed it (:
