My Whole Life

I was born to reflect the image of a God who is powerful enough to create my universe, attentive enough to hear my prayers and loving enough to be defined by self-sacrifice. I find my greatest fulfillment on a journey toward purpose and wholeness.

TESTIMONIES

"I used to read my bible a lot as a non-Christian but could not make sense of anything.

I also felt frustrated and empty as to where my life was going.

I finally decided to stop running because that is how I felt like I was running from something or someone. I had so many questions I wanted to know about the bible and understanding God’s purpose for my life.

Getting baptized in the Sunday faith I thought that everything would be solved, but I only felt emptier. Not satisfied, one Friday evening after work I went to the Seventh-day Adventist church to find what time their service began.

I was working on Saturdays at that time and this would be a challenge, but that first Sabbath I experienced was like drinking a tall glass of cool water. It was refreshing, different, and fulfilling. I had never experienced anything like it. The bible class had me hooked, I was getting answers. I requested a bible study and it was great! All I had been reading in my bible and all those questions were falling into place.

I resigned from my job the following Saturday.
I was on my way to work, when I turned around, went home, got dressed, and went to church.

I was also told by members of the church that I attended on a Sunday that the Sabbath is not a day of worship. But I read the book “The Almost Forgotten Day” by Mark Finley which helped me make my decision about the Sabbath.

 I finally made the decision to be rebaptized in the Adventist faith and in less than a month got a new job.

When Jesus told the parables of the hidden treasure and the pearl, I saw myself in those parables; the hidden treasure (me!) and the pearl of great price (Jesus Christ) which meant so much more to me than a job. I wanted to know what God’s word meant for my life and I took that step.

Today as I look back on my journey, I do encourage those who read this not to hesitate or put off giving Christ a chance in your life. He is knocking today, open your heart, and let Him in."
