26 Years Ago...

on October 9, 1980, my life changed forever.  I was invited to a Christian concert and met the Lord Jesus there.  Two days later, my best friend also met Him, at a bigger concert of the same group.."Fireworks".  A series of events led up to that night.  I had just graduated high school and was about to move to another town.  Before I left, a friend told me his dream, that I was in hell, asking him why he didn't tell me.  He explained what it meant to be a Christian.  I believed immediately, but didn't know what to do.  That fall, as I started college, a fellow classmate mentioned something about praying.  I had been given a flyer about a Christian Club.  She invited me to that club.  The day of the concert, my "moon & star" ring that I'd had for a couple of years, got caught on my car door and broke.  At the small concert, the invitation came and I was sooo ready.  That night at home, I didn't tell my friend.   Two days later, she had a date, but said if he didn't show up, she'd go with me.  He didn't, so she went and today we both are walking with the Lord Jesus and are raising our kids to follow him as well.  I cannot imagine life without Him.
