SALVATION

I grew up in a Christian home and was saved at a young age. I never had an exact date or amazing story as to when I trusted in Jesus as my Lord and Savior – but I remember questioning my mother at many bed time tuck-ins about what I needed to “do” in order to be saved. I’ve always pointed to one of those chats with my mom as “the hour I first believed.” As the years go by, I can look back at how the Holy Spirit has guided me through life in the decisions, actions and reactions I’ve had and made. I’ve come to realize it’s not about an amazing salvation story, just His amazing grace!
