All my life I have been a non-religious person. In fact, I would have even considered myself an atheist. I spent my entire life thinking there was no higher power. About 6 months ago after moving to Arizona we started taking the kids to a youth group at church where they made a lot of friends, but I also made a lot of friends myself. I started staying for the services with the kids and my life changed.
I don't know how to explain it and I never will, but one night I went to bed and dreamt. I can't remember my dream but I remember waking up and feeling entirely changed, like a whole new person, but entirely for the better. I recognized all of my past faults, all the things I had done wrong to others, etc. My wife at the time said to me, "you are acting totally different".
I tried to explain it to her that I think god had spoken to me. She told me I was crazy and that I had never been religious whatsoever in my life. I told her she is right, but I feel like I've seen the light now. To this day (and it hasn't even been that long) I still feel the same way and I truly feel like I've been "awaken" for lack of a better word. I honestly can't explain it but I feel like I have this amazing relationship with the lord that I never had before.
To someone who isn't religious (which was me before) this sounds nuts. It sounds like I drank the Kool-Aid and I totally get that. Religion isn't for everyone, in fact, it wasn't for me before, not one bit.
I just wanted to share a story from someone who was the biggest atheist imaginable. I don't know what happened to me but if I had to guess, I found god.
