Haha, going to the Calvary Youth Concert proved to be life-changing. I went there expecting some fun, not an emotional moment with God. But I'm thankful to God and to my friend who convinced me to go.
I clearly remembered that moment...the pastor was speaking up there on stage. Then I was crying..real strange to me.. I didn't know why, just that this really powerful emotion was surging through me, so overwhelming it brought me to tears. Then, when he asked those who wished to receive Christ to stand, I was caught in a dilemma. A few seconds of tug-of-war inside my turbulent soul, yet it felt like so long. And then it rose, the need to stand, the desire to stand. And I stood. And at that time I went up to the stage and had a sister to help me pray...that time...was the moment when I felt most clearly. So powerful, so great that it hurts..The Lord has touched my heart, mind and soul. It was almost unbearable.
After the experience, I was worried. What was I to tell my parents? How was I going to tell my mum that her Buddhist daughter had just converted to Christianity? It was highly emotional when I did. I'm someone who can't keep secrets from my mum, so I told her. And it was a very tearful moment as we both struggled to express ourselves. And it was hard for me because she cried, and I felt terrible for it.
But God was merciful. My parents were gracious, they allowed me to learn more about thsi religion before converting, generally not having too much objections. I thank the Lord for opening my parents' hearts to my real desire, and for the great friends who helped me out.
