So today is the ten year anniversary of the attack on America and all I have been hearing about is "Where were you when the tragedy happened?" It is a good question to think about, I was driving to school listening to the radio about the first tower being hit and when the second tower was hit I was in my 6 grade science class. I didn't really understand what was happening or the magnitude of how this was going to affect us as Americans.
But as I think about all that this question brings with it there is one question that pops in my mind is "Where are you now?" For some not a lot has changed since that day but for others there will always be life before 9/11 and life after 9/11. Ten years later and I am a completely different person. Even though I don't have that change there is one that I do have, I have a before 3/30/08 and after 3/20/08. I went through a lot of ups and downs during middle school and even more so in high school but now thanks to the day that I obeyed God's command to proclaim my faith by getting baptized in March 2008 I have a new life in Jesus.

I am about to finish up my last years of college and I know for a fact that God has done a great work in me and will continue to work in me for the next however many years He allows me here on earth. I am so glad that God has changed me, if I was the same person that I was in high school I would be living a very different life style. For one thing I would not be here in Oklahoma going to OU.
Have you ever thought about where you would be in life if you didn't have Christ? Or for some it is if you had Christ in your life? Do you have that defining moment when you knew that tomorrow would be a different day because of Jesus? I don't think a lot about the day that Jesus changed me but I really should. Just like He changed this country He can change each and every person on the planet!
I really hope you will give Him a chance!
