How to be born again
It made me
Refreshed. 
"This experience was no accident, in fact, I was on the fence for a while before I admitted that God is all I need in my short life that would be miniscule and insignificant without my man- Jesus who had saved me from this world and myself."
How I did it: I thought about it privately. This was of no use, since I knew that I needed an expericed person to help me make this life-altering decision. So, I spoke with a family member about it and came to the conclusion that:
- I loved Jesus
- I believed in Jesus and, therefore, God
- I will never amount to anything without him
Then, I prayed to him. I told him that I want to be his. I want to be his friend, his daughter, his tool.
I finally read my Bible and made a habit out of reading its goodness and allowing it to seep into the darkest corners of my life.
Lessons & tips: Shortly after becoming a Christian, I made a chastity vow, and have been wearing a promise ring ever since. This has taught me the value of sex and the importance of marriage.
Also, fellowship and accountability are a huge factor in Christian living. I suggest small group Bible study and a buddy system within your church.
Christians can have fun too, you know ;)

Finding my center...
4 years ago
I was born again when I was 13 years old. A lot of people these days talk a lot about being spiritual, but few want to be specific about what they really believe in. I’m not a Bible thumper by any stretch, but I have some deep core beliefs and the main one is that Jesus is my savior and died for me. That thought is almost overwhelming to me. I can’t imagine NOT believing that or how anyone can turn away the gift that it brings with it. It’s my core. And for anyone out there who wants that, it only takes a prayer. One simple prayer to acknowledge that you do believe Christ died for you and you accept His wonderful gift of forgiveness, salvation and everlasting life. That’s all it takes. Of course, you should also seek out others who share your beliefs whether it’s a church or a study group – just to help you learn and grow.
