HE LEADETH ME, O BLESSED THOUGHT!!!
                 

    Welcome. My name is Davey, and this is my life. I was born to strong Christian parents here in Dublin, NH. My dad and mom raised me and my 3 siblings to have that same strength of faith, and to live our lives for God. I took in and believed everything they taught, and I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal savior when I was 9 years old. But my teenage years came around and I was still mostly leaning on my parents rather than entering into a close relationship with God. I soon proved to myself and to others that I was capable of making some very poor decisions. I did quite a number of stupid things and got into some trouble as a result. I hated myself for it but it seemed I was incapable of changing myself. After a period of many months it got to the place where I felt as if I was standing on the edge of a raging river. I could either continue forward and get swept away by the torrent of the pleasures of sin, or I could step backward, take stock of my life, and realize that I was headed no where good. Thankfully, I was able to make some valuable discoveries about myself. First, I despised myself for the fact that I was hurting my parents, and hated that I kept so many secrets from them that would pain them even more. Secondly, I realized that I would rather not live my life doing whatever I pleased, for I could see the evil I was capable of. So I started over. I asked the Holy Spirit into my heart, and trusted in His help to change me. I began to seek the Lord more on my own, and to hunger after a closer walk with

 Him. I also tried to be less selfish and put others ahead of myself, and found that life was much more enjoyable that way. God is leading my steps in life, and I could not be led by a surer guide.

      That was all several years ago, and I still cannot say that I am up where I feel I should be. But I love Jesus with all my heart, and I know that I can make it with His helping hand to lead me. I want to live my life for Him, and do His bidding, whatever it may be. "Come want or come wealth, come life or come death, Thy will, O my Father, be done."

      Do you see anything in my life story that you can relate to. Perhaps you have a bit of the "wild child" in you, or maybe you simply believe that there is more to life than serving yourself. Jesus has a plan for your life, and He would love for you to come and ask Him for that plan. If you have any questions or comments, I would be more than happy to try to answer them.
