Sometimes i can't help but be amazed how i became a Christian. How by a whirlwind of events i accepted Christianity as my faith.
When i first entered BMT, i was lost. I didn't not have any friends, and being a slow learner, i caused a lot of problems. Army wasn't as easy as I thought it is. My situation was made worst when my company was literally the MOST SIONG company! Everyday getting whacked, getting punished and everyday i lived in fear. Literally. In fear. I couldn't sleep well everynight. And it was bad. I can still vividly remember myself crying to bed sometimes in the night. This was the first time, i felt so alone.
Although I went to church a few times, through a friend who asked me, I wasn't a Christian. Just went there to visit for fun. Then during BMT, i began looking for something that i don't know what, is it peace, is it comfort? I don't. Then i re-continued going to church. And it was there I found what i was looking for.

I found peace.
Although I haven't officially accepted Christianity as my faith, the songs, the singing, the ambience you can call it, everything in church gave me the peace. It was there i knew God. And though i haven't officiallly accepted Christianity yet, i found comfort and strength even in camp. God became like a friend to me. Soon, things became better. I made friends, had fun, and my enemies in the end became one of my funniest friends in BMT.>br>
For me, it was truly this peace that convicted me further to accept Christianity. It wasn't anything else, not the friends, not anything. But the peace, and knowing the friend whom i call, God.
Have you ever wondered why Christians keep asking people to church? It is because they want to share the joy, the peace, the strength. And they want to introduce this friend called God to you. They don't mean to irritate you with all the Christian stuff. Christians don't get anything when you come to church or something, they just want to share with you, everything.
