Thanks for sharing yours. It encourages others and gives us the boldness to do it also.
I can't forget my life experiences before I came to know Christ but like @thecruciformlife said, it is indeed a gradual process.
My life before I knew God had no meaning. In most of my post I think I have shared my life experiences before I knew God. I was always empty like I had a vacuum yet to be filled by what I don't know.
I knew I wanted to become something but I didn't know the purpose of mu existence. I could not tell anyone but everyday I was drowning in my own thought. Everyday I became depressed was smiling but felt sad and empty inside of me. I knew I was living a purposely life.
I had anger issues and could not control myself when I become angry was ready to tear down the things and bruise people around just pacify my anger but it destroyed me even more.
I became a shadow of myself and a living corpse. I wallowed in my own pain. If I want to continue, I won't stop but when I had an encounter I believe we know having an encounter isn't been baptized in the water. When I first encountered Him, I saw a meaning to my life and I could boldly tell someone this is who I want to be and will be.
It was a hard time living for myself but I still won't forget to appreciate God for those times because I have something to tell the world and my children the differences.
