I was an atheist most of my life. I thought the Bible was a work of fiction that was created
by people that needed a common belief in order to get through their lives. My name is Robin
and this is my story. I would go into work and it would just be a routine for me. I was
checking in books and I open up each book and I flip through it for condition. One day
I was flipping through a book and there was a question in the book and it just totally
jumped out at me and it was, if I am a good person, why would I go to hell? And I realized
that it was a book all on question and answer format about God and so I just kind of got
curious. I went ahead and I took it home and I began reading it that night and I basically
was found out what the gospel was through that book. I said, God, if you're real, I've
never given you a chance before and by the time I was done with the book, I was crying.
I was on my knees. I was begging God to forgive me from turning away from him all of these
years and I had prayed the sinner's prayer right in the back of the book and I knew that
I was saved. I chose a church and I started listening to Pastor Joe's podcasts and so
it was then that I began to learn about how to pray and basically how to pursue. Like
I'd been pursued. So I was driving towards Life Center and I was like, okay, God, here
I come. Here I come. And I told them that the whole way. It's been so many years. Here
I come. I looked around at all the people next to me. They all knew the words. I'm looking
at them with their eyes closed and just given everything they had to God. And by the time
the service was done, I was sitting there and I was like, this feels like home. It's
so comfortable to me. I don't want to leave. God, for all these years I turned away from
you and said no. I now turn toward you and I say yes. Thank you that you never stopped
pursuing me. So if God can turn this ex atheist into a full-on servant, I'll glory be to him
because man, who else could do that?
