THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE On November 2, 2008, I made the best decision of my life. I chose to accept Christ as my Lord and Savior. The action was simple, I simply stated aloud that I believe Christ died for my sins and rose again: but the results are everlasting! I still remember the whole journey like it happened yesterday. Many events led to me being saved, but here are a few highlights. It was October. I had been in Florida teaching for a few months but was questioning why I was there. I went to church but was lost. On Wednesday, I asked to volunteer with the children but wasnt allowed to because I wasnt a member. I was angry. I called my friend and asked her what all that saved stuff was about. She explained it simply and wasnt pushy. On Friday, October 31 I went to my apartment alone. I hated weekends because I was so lonely. I wanted to give up. I had no furniture. I literally cried out to God and said Why am I here? What is my purpose? For goodness sakes, I dont even have a bed to sleep on. Forget it, Im going to bed! (I had an air mattress that deflated every morning which was convenient because then I knew when it was time to wake up.) No more than 10 minutes later, a knock came. I ignored it. 5 minutes later another knock. Ive got some furniture for you, come with me stated my landlord matter of factly. Was I dreaming? I went to an apartment across the street and they gave me a futon, a coffee table, and my God Chair. It was a paposan chair that I told myself many years ago I would get when I had arrived because it was expensive. There it was, sitting in that persons apartment, a small affirmative answer to my prayers. Perhaps it was like God saying you have arrived in Christ Janice. I could no longer doubt that God was real. That Sunday, November 2nd, 2008, my church did an altar call. They NEVER did altar calls. I knew without a shadow of a doubt that it was time to make Christ Lord of my life and become saved. Dont be mistaken I didnt accept Christ because I got a chair. Also, that furniture was NO coincidence. I know it was a small way for God to say I am real, I am for you, and you are mine. So that is why November 2nd is the best day of my life. I love Jon, Morgan, and 2.0, but being saved and knowing that I will have eternal life with my creator beats all else!
