I was reflecting today, and my mind went to a time when my children were younger. Our older daughter was probably in first or second grade. She asked me a question that was in her Sunday school paper. It was a question that I have never forgotten. She asked, “How as being a Christian changed your life?” I have to confess, until that moment, I had not given too much thought to how knowing Christ had affected my life. As I began to answer the question, I had the joyful realization that my decision to follow Christ had changed my life in some dramatic ways. First, I had problems learning, and I remember crying out to God to help me learn to read so that I could read the Bible. God, in his grace, chose to answer that young girl’s prayer. Later, I wanted to go to college. As I was thinking about colleges, I wasn't sure what I wanted to do, but I knew that I had a desire to go to a Christian college. My decision to follow God was even reflected in the man I dated and married.
