I feel dead... User Image
--------------------
Warning: This whole story might seem a little weird but just stay with me here.
Well, not to long ago if any of you were on, Gaia had a malfunction and kicked everyone off the site for a few minutes. Everyone thought it was hackers.
I had kept giving my life to God and kept giving and giving but I didn't feel him connecting to me.
I kept doing sinful things and I kept doing them until that day.
A few days before that, I gave my life to God.... Again.
I hadn't done any very sinful things since then so I felt happy, but on the day the site crashed I was going to do more sinful things, even on Gaia.
Then all of a sudden, the site kicked me off.
Now, please don't think badly of me but after 10 minutes of trying to get on my account, I started to cry. I have a lot of friends on here and I love them all dearly and I couldn't bear to lose all that I had.
So I was crying and praying that God that the hacker (or so I thought) would get off my account. I prayed and said I wouldn't do any more of the sinful things I had been doing, I would stop right then and there.
I kept praying and trying until 15 minutes after the crash, it worked.
My account, my avi, my money was all there.
I was just staring at the computer for a few minutes.
I realized what I had told God, about staying with him and stopping my sins. And I realized, that I was God's now.
I had promised that I wouldn't do those things. I promised. Usually when I promise to God, I blow it off and say, "Hey, he is God, he will forgive me!"
But this time I did not.
I knew I had promised and I stopped. I had been posting some bad things on Gaia and such and I went back and fixed it. I stopped.
The first thing I said after the crash, the first thing I said in my new christian life was, "God has a terrible sense of humor." And I started laughing.
From then on, I have been completely God's.
I haven't done or felt an urge to do all the things I wanted to.
But ever since the crash, I have had this haunting feeling that Gaia crashing wasn't a mistake.
I may be wrong, but I feel that God did that so I would finally be his.
Maybe I am wrong, but that seems like a pretty good explanation for it all.

Story:
This pastor at a church called, Almighty God Church, was late coming out of a meeting and decided to call his wife to notify her that he wasn't going to be home in time for dinner. When he called the phone rang, and rang, then rang some more... then it continued ringing. He hung up and called a second time. This time his wife picked up on the first ring. Puzzled by the first call, he asked her why she didn't pick up the first time. She said that it only rang once. He simply dismissed the incident.
The next week at Church a man approached the pastor and told him what had happened to him several nights before. This was his story.
"I tried to commit suicide several days ago. While holding the knife in my hand I cried out to God and said, 'If you don't want me to die give me a sign! Anything!' Then and there the phone rang. I looked at the caller ID which simply said, Almighty God.' I was too afraid to answer."

God uses things like that to change people's lives. Although something can affect many people it will affect one person in just the right way.
It wasn't coincidence that that happened. It was the power of God.

You know God used gaia to save me too lol as a matter a fact it was this guild he used to save me as well smile this was about a year ago but RighteousMan117 posted somthing about Catholics and if I remember correctly I think he either said something about Catholics not being saved or going to hell or something of the sort and I had just barly joined lol I was just floating around just looking at what people wrote but I never really replied until sometime I think n I think that thread that RighteousMan117 posted was the first I posted in but I don't remember lol but I was angry cuz I was Catholic at the time and I remember posting that I was Catholic n I don't remember what else if there was anything else but I decided to visit the link he posted and I read it and I was shocked to find what I read in it about Catholics and it was supported by Bible verses so I kinda believed it but at the same time I didn't want to believe it so I did my own research until I finally came to the conclusion that yeah Catholicism was false and I began to seek the truth from then on and stuff, I had already been seeking God before but not for the right motives n I joined the Guild because I figured it would make God happy if I joined a Guild about him but it's not like anything I do ever will please God but believing in his son and repenting but after that God used many more things to save me mainly illbehonest(youtube group)( www.illbehonest.com ) and paul washer's videos like the shocking youth message http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cncEhCvrVgQ (first video about paul washer I saw that lead me to the truth) and many more of his videos. I've been trying to find RighteousMan117's post about Catholics but I can't find it anymore unfortunatly(it was probably deleted) sad , I thanked RighteousMan117 some months after I was converted. Before I was converted I never really understood anything about Jesus just that he died for us n I didn't really care about Jesus but now I'm more alive to Jesus and God n I'm also more alive to my sin n my short comings, I now know why God sent his son for us... because we would have been damned without him, there's no way we can perfectly keep his laws but Jesus kept it for us n all we have to do is repent of our sins and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ n we can have it all, complete salvation!
