Josh's Testimony

Ok so all of you know I came from a Christian family, and so I heard a lot about God and Jesus before i was saved.  Before I made the decision to follow Christ even though i was pretty young I remember feeling guilty when people would talk to me about Jesus.  I remember a time when I was in Church in Draganesti and I saw a woman recieve Christ.  And relizing that I needed something.  So I asked my Mom about it and she said we would talk about it later and some time after that I prayed with my Mom (im pretty sure it was her) to recieve Jesus into my heart.  Since then God has worked on my life a lot and I've had to keep making that decison to folow him.  Jesus died on the cross for us so that even though we deserve to go to hell, if we choose to put our trust in him and recieve him into our hearts we will not go to hell but spend eternity with HIm.  Romans 5:1 says: therefore having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our lord Jesus Christ.

What Happens When Your Mom Runs Out of Matches.

I story that i was going to post but never did... 

It was a thursday, my mom asked me to go get some matches, and on my way out also asked me to get some bread too.... so i left to the nearest store which is just around the corner of our small block.   When i got there they had  no matches but they did have bread, also i forgot to get a bag like my mom asked so i just went home to put the bread down   (did not want to walk around town holding bread in my arms.)  I told my mom there were no matches at that store and i was going to look for them somewhere else.  sooooooo i went to another nearby store and asked for some matches i asked for  "Un box de chibrituri"  looked at me and asked  " for you???" and i said well yeah thinking she meant matches. so she walks over to this bin and pulls out some boxers and im like "noooo.... MATCHES" she is like "OH we don't have them".  so i leave to another store and there i try to ask for matches but i mixed up the words and standing there embarrassed i try again the lady just standing there then guesses "matches?" im like "yes!" finally i get home it took about a half an hour to do all of this.  By the way the matches were stupid they hardly worked it was really hard to light them.
