I would be most happy to oblige Sarah.

So what exactly happened on September 22, 2007? To tell the truth I don't know. But I will explain the physical events that happened.

To start things off, I was sitting at my desk, late at night, reading my Bible. It was either first or second Corinthians. I don't remember which.

To understand this you need to know another random fact. Sometimes I get this chill feeling… you know when you have a fever and then you get all cold and sort of like shiver? Well, at random points, that sometimes happens, and it always happens when I become very emotional on some matter relating to God. Sometimes when I really get into praying ferverently or something. I talk to God a lot. Like a lot. This always happens when I'm talking to God.

Yeah, sounds a bit weird, I know. But interesting. So I was sitting there at my desk reading, and some passage really struck me or something, and I had the most intense and prolonged fit of 'shivers' ever. Something clicked. I have a coupld theories which I'll go into detail in some other post. But it was at that point that God sort of gave me to stop doing a whole bunch of small (but bad nonetheless) things that I had been doing since forever. One of the biggest things being music (mostly Breaking Benjamin, but also Christian rock) cause I had been struggling with that for a long time.

But since that date I've also been a much more loving person (or at least I've been feeling it, I hope it's manifested itself in other ways). And just for your information, all the connotations in English are totally wrong about the word love. The word is another one of those horribly mutilated words. I'll have to go into love in another post, because that's pretty much the key to all of Christianity. That's what God is after all.

I think that's about it… since that extreme fit of 'shivers' I had (and I still have these at random points if you're wondering).

Boy. This post raises so many things I have to post about, many of which I haven't even mentioned.

<sigh>

There is SO SO SO much work that needs to be done in modern Christianity. I only pray that God will in some way make me a part of whatever his plan is.

May all the power, the glory, and the honor be to my Father in heaven, forever and ever. Amen.

*UPDATE*

Sarah asked another question, was I a Christian before and just understood better, or was I actually not a Christian before. Well, I find it rather scary, but I don't think I had salvation until after that date. Salvation is such a huge matter, and what you do to get it is such a big complicated question that that will take me multiple posts to just discuss some of the different options (because at this point the only thing I'm fairly certain of is that it is a very hard thing to get, whether you earn it somehow, or even if you don't).
