My Answered Prayers

Where to begin. My #1 answered prayer was on July 15th 1995. It was Neighborhood Bible Time at a church in Princeton NC. My best friend from my senior year in high school invited me to go. I was lured with the promise of meeting girls. After playing fun games and having the local fire trucks soak everyone with water during a water balloon fight, we made our way into the fellowship hall. I was in a red t-shirt and red pair of shorts. I was soaking wet and it was freezing cold inside the church. After only a few minutes of preaching an invitation was given. I didn't know what I was doing but I raised my hand in truthful answer to a question from the youth pastor, but when he said get up and follow someone to explain it to me I didn't move. I secretly slipped my hand down. About that same time my best friend gave me a stiff elbow to the ribs urging me to go. He was quite a bit bigger than me so I reluctantly went. After following a stranger upstairs into an empty room I was asked the question, "why should God let you into heaven?" To my surprise the answer I gave was wrong. Mr. Steve then showed me my error. The gospel of Jesus Christ was presented and I gave my life to Him. Right there in the upstairs of a church, in my clash of red on red attire, the creator of the universe reached down and saved me. Without this beginning there would be no "rest of the story" as they say. That's why this HAD to be the #1 answered prayer in my life.
