Get the Word out!

HI! You’ve obviously come to this page looking for information about me…Well, here is some of it. I am a 31 year old father with a wonderful 8 year old. I am originally from Ohio(30 miles east of Cleveland), but I now live in the south. I have an Associate’s Degree in Biotechnology. I love art and am using it to create designs for my newly opened online evangelistic apparel/item shop At Ease Tees!

If you want to know the truth though…The most wonderful and amazing part about me is that I am a born-again, Bible believing Christian. If someone would have told me six years ago that this is what would happen to me, I would have laughed in their face. But when I moved down south to be with my daughter, I found Jesus. It wasn’t that I had to move to the South to find Him(He’s everywhere!), but that’s what it took to get me to look for Him. When I got down here, I began to realize that I needed something more in my life. It wasn’t to “fill a God shaped hole in my heart” or anything like that. I just knew that I was missing something. I began to hear about how Jesus gave up everything in heaven, came to earth, and took my place. I heard how He lived a sinless life and died in my place. See, I realized that it wasn’t just the big sins(adultery, fornication, etc) that He died for, but it was the “little” ones too. All the lies I told. Everytime that I hated someone. Everytime that I looked at a woman with lust. Those were sins too, and if it weren’t for Jesus, I would have ended up dying and going to hell(against God’s wishes). But, by the grace of God, I saw the fact that nothing I did on my own would ever be enough to make me good enough to get into heaven. And I understood that only by accepting Jesus as my Lord and Savior would I know true freedom and be able to escape the fires of hell and an eternity without God. So I did it. I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior. And things are a lot different. Notice that I didn’t say they were easier, but they are different.

Now, I have the strength to go through things that would have destroyed me not long ago. Now I have peace of mind knowing that when I die, I will be seeing my Lord face to face. I can know that He looks after me and is there for me, even when everyone else seems to have left me. The most wonderful part about all this is: You can know Him too. You can reach out to Him and accept the sacrifice that He made for you. You can know without a shadow of a doubt that if you died today, you would be in heaven. It doesn’t require a ritual or some special prayer. What it does require is that you acknowledge your sin before God and allow Him to take it away. You also have to turn away from that sin(and the people that are a part of it) and go in the opposite direction (this is called repentance). If you do this, tell someone about it! It is a wonderful thing that has just happened and people need to know about it! If you want, leave me a comment here and I’ll reply back! Thanks for taking the time to read about me. There is a lot more, but that’s enough. And, by the way, it’s not always easy, and there are times when I stumble and fall, but I continue chasing after God with all that I have. And He continues to let me find Him!

Love and Blessings,
Mike
