Hey everyone, How are you doing?I am doing great (Except I'm getting the flu or something)!!! I got saevd on Thursday. I thought in 1997,I was saved...but every time someone mentioned the rapture or getting saved,I got nervous and scared...and when my brother got saved,he talked about the rapture...and I couldn't quit being scared or nervous. At first,I thought it was satan,trying to discourage me,but it wouldn't leave.It never left me totally,but it eased somethimes.Still,it was there. Then,on our vacation,I saw pictures of myself being left behind,or dying and going to hell...I couldn't lose that,and I couldn't get a picture of being raptured or going to Heaven.then,I really,really prayed for a peace,that God woulld calm my fears...I knew He would if I was truly saved. It didn't happen. My fears and nervousness grew worse. And,on Wednsday,I talked about it with my Mom again,the fourth time.She prayed out loud over me...she asked God to reveal whether or not I was truly saved.She said,if (this still didn't convince me) I was,let me sleep with totall peace and joy...if I wasn't,make me ssssssooooooo miserable I couldn't stand it.I usally sleep till 10:00 or so,and I was up tossing and turning off and on from 8:00 am.But it still didn't convince me.When I finally got a shower,I prayed one last time for peace...it didn't come..It got worse...then I got out of the shower,went to Mom's room,and said I was NOT going to leave until she came here,and I knew for SURE that I was saved. I couldn't get a peace,and I said,"Mom,I don't have a peace about it.I don't know for sure where I'd go if I died right know,and I want to know...I want to be saved!" I got saved!!!!!!!!!!!! Well,that's all for know,except please pray for me becuase I'm coming down with the flu or cold real bad...and my birthday's Tuesday...what a great way to celebrate!Birthday with a flu! LOLLater,Sean
