Purpose
It was July 24, 2001 in Taylors, Sc, first leg of the Bride/All Access tour, and my life has really changed since then. At the concert, I rededicated my life to Christ, and I have finally found happiness in myself and with God. I am thankful that I went to that concert, where I heard Bride and All Access. Bride really reached me though. And my life has drastically changed since then.
My Testimony
I have been saved for years, but up until July 24, 2001, I had not been living my life for God, for a long time.
You see, most of my life, my family switched churches, and there was a period of time that I gave up Christianity. That was 3 years long.
Well, a good friend of my family's got my sister and me to go back to church. My sister went back fully, and I went back to support her. That was 6 years ago.
Well, I was not into Christian Metal or really any rock until I started my junior year of high school. But I started following the wrong crowd and almost left Christianity completely. There was a girl in my group that I was hanging out with, that wanted me to practice witchcraft, and I was starting to experiment with it a bit.
In the summer of 2001, I went to the Bride/All Access concert in Taylors, Sc, just to shut my sister up, and I rededicated my life.
I went in there, thinking that I would not have a good time and was determined not to enjoy myself. Then All Access took the stage.
It was their music that made me think about my life and started to make me feel better. It was like what Doug was singing about how I felt on a day-to-day basis.
So basically, I started feeling really bad about what I had been doing, and the fact that I was turning away from God, when I should've been chasing Him.
Doug's words made me think, but what was the final shot was when Dale spoke. Everything that was said and sung at that concert made me act.
I thank God that I went to that concert. And since then, I'm standing up for what I believe in and I really trying to live my life better.
I know that I am truly blessed now.
