This date really sneaked up on me! I was wondering if the milk was still good and realized that today is an incredibly monumental occasion.
On March 11, 1990 I became a Christian. Exactly 21 years ago, I experienced the love of God in a very powerful way. I emphasize "experienced" because there is no way other way to describe it. I remember where I was, the smells, the sounds; even Mitch Dunn sitting across the desk with his out-of-style helmet haircut.
So now I'm 21 years old in the faith. A bonified "grown-up" Christian--although, I don't feel "grown up". I've been thinking about my journey, about my failures and successes, and about what the future holds. Mostly, I'm so thankful for First Baptist Church: Moss Bluff and Mitch Dunn. They loved me and shared God's love with me. So much of who I am now (at least the good stuff) is because of those experiences.
