I was definitely living a sinful life and falling short of His glory. When I was ten years old, I responded during an altar call at church camp. Later, in my mid-twenties, God again tugged at my heart and let me know that I wasn't doing the things I should, and doing things I shouldn't. It was during this time that I rededicated my life to Him.
With forgiveness, I was able to start over with a clean slate. While there will always be temptations in my life, and though at times my actions will not always be pleasing to God, I know that He is a forgiving God.
