Take it personally

I was saved at the age of 13 while at Baptist Hill, a summer church camp near Mt. Vernan Missouri. The next yearat age 14 i felt God was calling me to preach. I wouldn't listen to Him because I did not believe He could use me (a dumb hillbilly)

to share something as powerful and important as the Bible. For eleven years I ran from the calling as hard as I could. Nothing else seemed to bring the peace and happiness I was looking for. Sandra (my wife) and I were in and out of church during that 11 year period. When we would go for a while, on a regular basis, Iwould be reminded of God's call on my life to preach. So we would stop attending for a while. The call would get quiet and we would return to worship for a while until it all happened again.

Once I said yes to the Lords call on my life, I have experienced an unexplainable peace and happiness that can only be attributed to His presence in my life, even in the really bad times. LOOK FOR MY NEXT BLOG "That tears it". Coming soon!
