Saved

This summer I was saved. Never in my life did I think those words would come out of my mouth. Growing up I would go to church every so often on Christmas and Easter. And the occasional VBS (vocational bible school). I really didn’t know much about God. What I did know at the time made me fear him. I strayed away from God and the church for many years. I was afraid of God and I was nervous that I would be judged by the people that go to church. This all changed when I went to Solid  Rock Bible Church last winter for a service. There was a couple there was a couple there was a couple there speaking about going on a mission trip to Albania.I myself am from an Albanian family and was super interested by this. At the time I had no biblical knowledge but, what I did know was the language of the land. With this the accepted me and I was able to join in on the mission. Once I finally arrived many months later I was nervous and anxious like no other; I couldn’t believe that I had gotten myself into this.While in Albania there was this change in my soul and my spirit God was changing me like never before. He has been doing this for years but, this was the first time I had taken the time out to pay attention.This summer I was baptized and saved by the grace of God.I could not be happier with how my life is going now, from someone who was missguided and sawyed by the words of the world to someone who couldn’t be more on fire for the Lord. I will be returning to Albania in the first week of May to carry out a 4 month long mission trip. I hope that you guys will stick around to hear more about my journey and what is to come.
