On August 18, 2010, I was a freshman moving into my dorm like everyone else. I was walking by the dining hall when I ran into a campus minister who asked me to do a survey. A few days later she called me and we set up a weekly Bible study. When I was younger I went to church and Christian school, so God was not a new concept to me. Even though I grew up in the church I soon realized that I had never given my life to Jesus. I realized that there were a lot of things that I thought I knew about God, but I didn’t. I learned more in the next 2 ½ months than I had in the past years I had spent sporadically attending church, Sunday school, and youth group. I hesitated at first about giving my life to Jesus. I thought, “Why should I have to give up my way of doing things?” By the world’s standards, I wasn’t a horrible person. But I knew that because of my sin, if I dropped dead, I would not be going to heaven, and that scared me. I had so many questions, but the more that I thought about these silly, selfish questions, the more I realized that my worldly worries paled in comparison to what God has already done for me. I gave my life to Jesus on November 4, and got baptized two weeks later. Every week, I look forward to our weekly prayer meeting, Bible study, Sunday church service and covenant group. I learn more every week about the way that God wants me to live, and I am excited to see what He has in store for my life. ~Sara
